The problem it solves

Keeping track of every employee's birthday and work anniversary is easy to forget when you're busy running the business. When you do remember, the message often feels rushed or copy-pasted, which undercuts the recognition you meant to give.

Who it fits

HR teams and managers at growing companies who want to recognize employees without manual reminders.

How it works

  1. Every morning, the system checks your employee list for birthdays and work anniversaries
  2. It matches today's date against each employee's records
  3. AI writes a fresh, personalized message for each person being celebrated
  4. The message posts to your team's Slack channel automatically
What you get

Messages you didn't have to sit down and write

Every birthday and work anniversary gets a warm, personal shout-out in your team's Slack channel automatically.

What you get

A personalized celebration message posted in Slack for every employee birthday or anniversary.

What you need

A Google Sheets account with your employee list, a Slack workspace, and access to Google's Gemini AI.

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.
