About us

AI-powered birthdays, planned with warmth

Celnoia helps people plan, fund, and manage beautiful birthday experiences in one trusted place, with AI support that makes every celebration feel more personal, organised, and effortless.

Our story

We noticed that birthday planning was still scattered across group chats, spreadsheets, bank transfers, random gift links, and last-minute venue decisions. Hosts were chasing people for money, guests were guessing what to buy, and celebrants often carried the stress of planning the day that was supposed to make them feel seen.

Celnoia brings that whole journey together. A celebrant can create a birthday profile, share a wishlist, host or join curated events, receive digital gifts, discover venues, collect protected payments, and manage guest applications from one experience. Our AI layer helps make the work lighter, from gift ideas and celebration prompts to venue-fit recommendations and smarter event planning support.

Current stage

Celnoia is currently in MVP/beta stage. We are testing the platform with early users in the UK and improving the experience around birthday profiles, curated events, wishlists, protected contributions, and AI-assisted planning.

Where AI fits in

AI in Celnoia is not a gimmick. It is the quiet assistant behind the celebration: helping people discover thoughtful gifts, turn loose ideas into clearer event plans, match birthdays with suitable venues, and make wishlist and guest experiences feel more personal. The goal is simple: less planning friction, more meaningful moments.

Smarter gift discovery

AI helps surface ideas that match the celebrant's taste, wishlist, interests, and budget.

Better event planning

Hosts get support shaping event details, guest criteria, agenda ideas, and celebration flow.

Venue-fit suggestions

Recommendations can consider event style, location, category, budget, and group size.

More personal moments

Messages, digital gifts, and celebration prompts can feel warmer and less generic.

What we do

Birthday pages

Every celebrant gets a personalised page with a countdown, wishlist, messages, and gift options in one place.

Curated events

Create paid or free birthday events, review guest applications, set criteria, and manage attendance with confidence.

Protected payments

Guest contributions and ticket sales are held in escrow until the event locks in, so no one loses money if plans change.

AI-assisted gifts

Guests can discover thoughtful gifts, reserve wishlist items, contribute to group presents, and send digital surprises.

Venue recommendations

Hosts can browse partner venues and find options that fit the celebration style, location, and budget.

Host payouts

Celebrants and hosts connect payouts securely and withdraw eligible earnings directly to their account.

Our values

  • Trust first. Every payment is protected. Every payout is transparent.
  • Useful AI. We use intelligence to reduce effort and improve personalisation, not to replace human celebration.
  • Warmth in every detail. We obsess over small moments, from the right card design to the right message at the right time.
  • Built for the celebrant. Features exist to make the person being celebrated feel seen, not just organised.
  • Simple over clever. We resist complexity. If it takes more than a tap to do something important, we simplify it.

We are a small team and we read every message. Whether you have a question, a feature idea, or just want to say hello, reach out.
