Wedding planning

“Can you also”, arriving at eleven at night.

Pidgy is an AI email assistant for wedding planners. It sorts the inbox before you open it, counts the days on every supplier and every couple you are waiting on, drafts the reply in your words, and turns the “can you also” buried in a Sunday night email into work you can see.

of the working week goes to email, before any real work is opened.

McKinsey Global Institute, The social economy, 2012

Every wedding is a hundred small promises, made in the evening.

The couple emails at eleven with a question and, at the end, a can you also. The florist wants a number by Friday. The caterer wants the menu the couple has not chosen. Each one is a thread, and each thread is forty messages long by June.

It is that nothing counts the days against a date that everybody knows. The one that goes wrong is the one nobody chased in writing, and the one that goes wrong is remembered.

Pidgy does not plan the wedding.

Four things it does before you have opened anything.

You only see what matters

A hundred and eighty a day in season, and the ones that matter are the ones with a wedding date behind them.

Hi Lien, hi Thomas, a gentle reminder about the menu. The caterer needs your choice by Friday to order, and after that the options narrow. Reply with a number, one to three, and I will take it from there.

Menu, and one more thing

We go for menu two, finally. Also, my grandmother cannot do stairs. Can you also check whether the venue has a lift to the terrace before we confirm the ceremony location on Friday?

And then the rest of the day.

Five more things Pidgy does between an email landing and the couple walking in.

  1. Replies

    Three ways to answer it. Or your own words.

    Every thread that needs a reply gets three, and they are the three things you would most plausibly say back given what the couple asked.

    Hi Lien, twelve more is possible, and it changes three things: the caterer's number, the table plan, and the ceremony chairs. The venue can seat up to a hundred and ten, so you have room. Send me the names by Friday and I will update all three.

  2. Projects

    And it adds up to a picture.

    Every wedding becomes a project: which suppliers are confirmed, what the couple still has to decide, what is paid, and the days to go.

  4. Ask Pidgy

    Or just ask it.

    “What is still open for the 27th?” is a question you answer today from memory and three apps.

Before you let anything near a client mailbox.

You click send

Pidgy drafts. It has no permission to send on your behalf, and there is no setting that grants one.

Hosted in the EU

Data residency in the EU, scoped per mailbox, DPA on request. Export or purge whenever you want.

It never deletes

Nothing is archived, moved, marked read or thrown away. Your mailbox is exactly where you left it.

Never trains on you

Correspondence builds your lists and your drafts. It is never used to train a model, ours or anyone else's.

Questions planners ask

What does it cost?+

Per mailbox, monthly, published when we open to everyone. The first group is free. Asking for a place costs nothing and connects nothing.

Couples message me on WhatsApp and Instagram. Does it see that?+

No, by design. Pidgy reads the mailbox and nothing else. What it can do is give the couple a link to their open decisions, so the answers land somewhere you can find in June.

Does it sound like me? My couples know my voice.+

It learns your phrasing from how you already write, and it learns that you write to a bride differently from a caterer. Every draft is yours to change, and nothing goes without you.

What can it see, exactly?+

The mailboxes you connect, and only those. Your planning tool, your phone and anything on a laptop are invisible to it.

Does it work in Dutch and French?+

Yes. It reads mixed language mailboxes and drafts in the language of the thread, which for a couple with families on both sides is both.

Is my couples' information used to train a model?+

No. Processing happens in the EU, scoped to the mailboxes you connect, under a data processing agreement we sign.

A first group, chosen by hand.

Pidgy opens to a small number of planners before anyone else, and we pick them ourselves. If weddings are your trade, tell us and we will be in touch.
