Unprompted alpha from former VC-backed founders on how AI is transforming the way we work, from early-stage startups to service businesses.
Summer is supposed to be easy—impromptu BBQs, last-minute beach trips, rooftop drinks that turn into the best nights of the year.
Here's what actually happens: "Beach day this weekend?" hits the group chat, and suddenly you're in a logistical tizzy.
The responses flood in. "I'm free Saturday morning but have a thing at 3," "Which beach?," "Can we do Sunday instead?," "Wait, I thought we were doing brunch?," "Sorry just saw this—what's happening?" Forty-three messages later, you're somehow further from having a plan than when you started.
Sound familiar? We've all been trapped in the endless cycle of polls nobody completes, spreadsheets that create more confusion, and group chats where good ideas go to die. There's got to be a better way than texting ourselves into oblivion every time we want to hang out.
So we built one. A planning tool that actually gets how friend groups work—chaotic, indecisive, and allergic to anything that feels like work. No project management degrees required.
Now before you say "Wait, don't tools like Doodle and When2meet already solve this?" — yes, we know. We've tried them all. The problem isn't that scheduling tools don't exist; it's that they don't work the way our group actually makes decisions.
Most tools were designed by people who think friend groups operate like corporate meetings. They assume everyone will dutifully fill out polls, check multiple time slots, and provide detailed availability windows. That's not how we plan things. We're messier, more spontaneous, and frankly, less organized than that.
The beauty of having AI tools now is we don't have to settle for what Big Tech thinks makes sense for us. We can build something that actually fits how we communicate and make decisions.
Give it a shot next time you're trying to wrangle your people into the same place at the same time. Your sanity (and your group chat) will thank you.

Here's to plans that actually happen 🍻
