The problem
Customer and operations dashboards with backend services for parcel lifecycles, tracking events and notifications, built for high-throughput transactional workflows.
South African couples plan across fragmented directories, WhatsApp messages and opaque “price on request” listings, while many international tools don't support local multi-ceremony wedding journeys.
Small teams stitch together disconnected tools for websites, customer communication, content, analytics and operations, while generic AI assistants lack safe access to business context and actions.
What was built
—
A Next.js and Supabase marketplace with two Kotlin / Jetpack Compose Android apps on Google Play: one for couples, one for vendors. Thuli, the AI planner, is a LangGraph supervisor coordinating 16 specialist agents.
Pairly gives each business one governed platform where specialised agents can work across those functions. It combines tenant-scoped AI agents, websites and CMS, CRM and communications, newsletters, analytics, integrations and a skills marketplace.
