The problem it solves

You want to send a thoughtful birthday note to clients, students, or teammates, but remembering every date and writing something personal each time is impossible to keep up. Birthdays quietly slip by unnoticed.

Who it fits

Educators, team leads, freelancers, or small businesses that want to keep in touch with clients and contacts.

How it works

  1. The automation checks your contact spreadsheet every morning
  2. It matches today's date against everyone's birthday
  3. AI writes a personalized subject line and message for each match
  4. The email sends automatically through Gmail
What you get

Birthdays you never forget to mark

Every contact gets a warm, personal birthday email from you automatically, so no important date on your calendar ever slips by.

What you get

A personalized birthday email sent automatically to every contact celebrating that day.

What you need

A Google Workspace account, an OpenRouter or OpenAI API key, and a Gmail account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
