Questions people ask
What makes a good opening line?
It tells the room who you are to the couple and gives them a reason to listen, in one or two sentences. A specific detail does both. Generic openers like dictionary definitions or 'for those who don't know me' waste the moment when everyone is paying the most attention.
Should I open with a joke?
Only if it comes naturally from a true detail. A warm, specific first line gets a better reaction than a borrowed joke, and it's much easier to say when you're nervous.
Is it free?
Yes: ten sets of three openings a day, with no account. Your detail is sent to Anthropic's Claude API to write the options and isn't stored by us.
Will it invent things about the couple?
It's instructed to use only the detail you give it. Read each option and change anything that isn't quite true.
