The problem it solves

You want to remember every client or team member's birthday and anniversary, but keeping track of dates and writing a thoughtful note for each one isn't realistic day to day. Important occasions slip by unnoticed more often than you'd like.

Who it fits

Small businesses and teams who want to send personal touches like birthday or anniversary notes without tracking dates manually.

How it works

  1. Runs automatically every day on a schedule
  2. Checks your Google Sheet for anyone with a birthday, anniversary, or occasion today
  3. Uses AI to write a personalized message for each person
  4. Sends a separate email to every person with an occasion that day
  5. Skips sending anything on days with no matches
What you get

Birthdays and anniversaries that never get missed

Everyone on your list gets a warm, personal birthday or anniversary note on exactly the right day, without you keeping track.

What you get

Personalized occasion emails sent automatically to anyone on your list with a date today.

What you need

A Google account for the spreadsheet, a Gmail account, and an OpenAI API key.

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.
