The Problem
I miss things. High appetite for experiences — music, dancing, outdoor adventures, family activities — but real capacity constraints: VP role, toddler plus newborn, and the friction of coordinating a busy schedule. Generic event aggregators (Eventbrite, Bandsintown) surface 500 mediocre options. I needed 50 good ones, ranked by my taste, with enough context to decide in seconds.
What It Is
A personal event intelligence layer for Atlanta. Not a generic aggregator — it’s built around one person’s taste, social graph, and life constraints. 51 curated events and 110+ evergreen activities, each scored 0–100 by an LLM using a structured taste profile built from years of concert history and Spotify data.
Five scoring axes: genre match, venue quality, format rarity, lineup strength, value for money. The scores are auditable via radar charts — not a black box. The wizard walks through a few preference questions and re-ranks everything live.
