Sangeet night!
The Beginning
aiDo started with founder Jon planning his own wedding – a Hindu wedding in Mauritius, his wife's home island in the Indian Ocean. Her family was there; everyone else flew in from eight different countries to a place most of them had never set foot on. Jon is American, and his wife's family traditions were new to him – the first time he heard the word "kurta" was when he found out he needed to wear one.
Multiple ceremonies across several days. Guests arriving from eight countries and just as many time zones. Two cultures' worth of traditions to get right, and a thousand small questions – what do I wear to the sangeet? When do we leave for the venue? What actually happens during the ceremony? Every planning tool he tried assumed a single afternoon ceremony in your hometown.
Building AI agent systems is what Jon does for a living. So he did the natural thing: he built one for his own wedding – a planning assistant for the couple, and a concierge that answered guests' questions about the schedule, the outfits, and the traditions, at any hour, in the middle of the ocean. It wasn't a prototype or a demo. It ran at a real wedding, for real guests.
That's the difference behind aiDo. Jon is a scientist by training – a PhD chemist before he was an engineer – and it shows in how the product is built: no inflated claims about what AI can do, and honest boundaries around what it can't. AI handles the repetitive logistics so the people involved – the couple, the family, the planner – stay focused on the parts that actually need a human.
Today aiDo brings that same system to anyone planning their special day – whether it's a local ceremony or a destination wedding halfway around the world.
