Stan is a chat‑based planning assistant that helps groups coordinate events and decisions without the need for a dedicated app. Users create a group, share a link through existing messaging platforms, and let Stan either proactively nudge the conversation with suggestions or respond on demand, streamlining the planning process and keeping everyone on track.

Problem
Coordinating decisions in group chats often leads to fragmented conversations, missed messages, and prolonged back-and-forth, making it hard to reach consensus quickly.
Solution
Stan provides a web-based group‑planning assistant that centralizes decision‑making without requiring participants to download an app. Organizers create a named group, set a location, and share a simple link that works in any messaging platform. The AI can operate in two modes: Proactive Stan nudges the conversation with suggestions after a few messages to keep momentum, while Reactive Stan waits for a direct request before offering help. This approach reduces chat clutter, accelerates agreement, and keeps the organizer in control of the planning flow.
Target Audience
Stan is aimed at individuals and small teams who need to coordinate events, outings, or decisions with friends, family, or coworkers across existing messaging platforms.
