when everyone brings a little.
The event is the anchor — the ceremony, the keynotes. Everything around it usually dissolves into a chaotic group chat. Pot Lark turns that dead time into the right people, doing the right thing, at a time they're all free.

The potluck principle
One person can't plan a great spread. A table full of people can.
Everyone shows up and contributes a little — their plans, their tastes, their swipes — and collectively a richer spread emerges than any single planner could manage. The host sets the table; the guests fill it.
- ◆
Guest effort approaches zero
Availability is inferred, interests are tapped, swiping is the whole job.
- ◆
The magic is overlap, not ideas
AI suggestions are commoditised. The defensible value is matching time and taste across people.
- ◆
Always fresh, never waiting
The scout works in the background, so the queue is full the moment a guest opens it.
How it works
Three steps to a trip that actually happens
You do the setup once. Pot Lark does the rest, continuously.
01
Set up the event
Create the event, drop in the anchor schedule — the ceremony, the keynotes — and the destination. Choose how much you want to steer.
02
Send one magic link
Guests tap a link. No passwords, no accounts. They share when they land, where they're staying, and what they're into — in under a minute.
03
Let serendipity cook
A background scout researches real, current things to do and slips them into a queue. Guests swipe. Pot Lark forms pods — the right people, free at the same time.
The whole thing, end to end
What actually happens behind the link
Five moving parts, four of them automatic. Here's each one, and who does the work.

Set up the event
The hostYou create the event and drop in the anchors — the ceremony, the keynotes, the dinner that's already locked — plus the destination and a control mode. That's the whole setup, and it's the only part that needs you.

Join by magic link
The guestsOne tap, no account. Each guest says when they arrive and leave, where they're staying, and which tastes they're into — food, nature, nightlife, culture. Under a minute, on any phone.

Research never stops
The scoutA background AI scout continuously researches real, currently-operating places — grounded in live web search, with a photo and a source for every card — and keeps a fresh queue topped up so there's always something to swipe.
- ♥
Swipe yes, no, maybe
EveryoneGuests flick through the queue like a deck of cards. Every yes is a vote of interest; every maybe keeps the option warm. Swiping is the entire job — no polls, no group chat, no spreadsheets.

Compute the overlap
Pot LarkPot Lark intersects the two things that matter — who's free at the same time and who wants the same thing — scores how cleanly it lines up, and forms tight 3–5 person pods around the moments that genuinely click.
◆
Why overlap is the magic
Anyone can generate a list of things to do — AI made that free. The hard, valuable part is matching time and taste across a whole group: finding the small set of people who are free in the same window and want the same thing. That intersection is what turns a stack of ideas into a plan that actually happens — and it's the part no group chat ever solves.
◷
Availability is inferred, not asked
Nobody fills in a calendar. From each guest's arrival and departure, Pot Lark subtracts the anchor events you set and a sensible band of sleeping hours — and what's left is their real open windows. When a flight slips, the windows recompute themselves, so the overlap stays honest without anyone re-answering a thing.

The overlap engine
Where time and taste intersect, a pod forms.
Every "yes" is a signal. Pot Lark intersects the people who want an idea with the windows they're actually free, scores how cleanly it all lines up, and surfaces the result to you — including the tight little 3–5 person pods that make a trip feel magical rather than like a tour bus.

Aligned schedules

Social cohesion

As hands-on or hands-off as you like
The host is the real customer. Switch modes any time — even mid-event.
✛
Curate
Every idea waits for your nod before guests ever see it. Total control for the perfectionist host.
◎
Guardrails
Set a budget cap, block a few tags, cap the group size. The scout publishes anything inside the lines.
❋
Open
Let it run. Ideas go live the moment they're found and guests self-organise into pods.
Questions, answered
Do guests need to download anything?+
No. A guest taps their magic link and they're in — it works in any browser, on any phone. Onboarding is a minute of tapping, not a form marathon.
How does it know when people are free?+
Availability is inferred, never asked. From each guest's arrival and departure, Pot Lark subtracts the anchor schedule and sleeping hours to find the open windows — and keeps it correct when flights change.
Where do the activity ideas come from?+
An AI scout researches real, currently-operating places — grounded in live web search, with a real photo and a source for every card. Generic "visit the cathedral" suggestions are dropped, not shown.
What if someone hasn't booked their hotel yet?+
That's an opportunity, not a dead end. Pot Lark suggests where others are staying and surfaces options near the venue — and nothing downstream is blocked on a decision they haven't made.
