SeatBee.app Uses Claude AI for Wedding Seating Arrangements

SeatBee.app: AI-Powered Wedding Seating Solution

SeatBee.app is a wedding seating arrangement tool built in Claude Code with Claude AI (via OpenRouter) that addresses the common problem of creating seating charts for weddings. The developers identified that existing solutions were essentially digital Post-it notes with no intelligence or rules engine.

Key Features and Implementation Details

• AI Understanding of Social Dynamics: Claude genuinely understands social relationships. For example, when told "These two had a messy breakup," it doesn't just separate them but creates a buffer zone between them.
• Constraint Satisfaction Performance: The AI handles constraint satisfaction problems effectively, managing 150 guests with 20 rules and generating optimal seating arrangements in seconds.
• Floor Plan Detection: The hardest technical challenge was floor plan detection. Users can upload a photo of their venue, and Claude maps the room geometry. The developers note this took weeks to get right, and even now, the trace feature works better than the AI detection for this specific task.
• Natural Language Rule Processing: The developers used natural language to train Claude on how to dissect user-input rules and weight them proportionally. Example rules include: never break up parties unless one person is at the head table, take "keep apart" rules seriously (like "don't put my divorced parents near each other!").

Development and Business Details

The project went from idea to paying customers in about 3 months, with the developers describing their approach as "mostly vibe coding it." The free tier supports up to 100 guests, and the AI functionality works as described. The core architecture uses Claude Code with Claude AI via OpenRouter.
