The problem
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.
Direct ordering and order management: menus, orders, payments and fulfilment, with automated order intake and status updates that cut merchants' operational overhead.
A WhatsApp-based job platform (Altur), Harambee Youth Accelerator's move from a mobisite to WhatsApp, and eButler's WhatsApp ordering with payments through Flash.
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.
