Cael is an AI date planner that lives in your texts (iMessage, Telegram) and on iPhone. Say who, when, and the vibe, and it plans the whole night in any city: every stop, the budget, what to wear, what to order. Say go and it books the table on Resy or OpenTable. It remembers what your partner loves, flags the dates that matter, and with Duo you plan it together.

Could you build this?

Partial The planning logic is easy to build on an LLM, but iMessage has no official bot API, and Resy and OpenTable booking requires partner-level access. Those integration points are the hard part.

What it would actually take: The planner is an LLM with memory and preference storage, plus an iOS app. Texting requires Apple-side bridging, such as a Mac-hosted relay or Telegram Bot API, which is fragile and policy-sensitive. Reliable booking needs OpenTable or Resy partner APIs or browser automation, which requires business relationships and ongoing maintenance.
