Hitched Works With OpenAI's Operator for Easy Wedding Planning

We get it, planning a wedding can feel overwhelming sometimes, but what if we told you we had an AI wedding planning assistant for you?

We’re all about enhancing the wedding planning experience for you at Hitched, so we’ve teamed up with OpenAI’s to contribute feedback to its Operator research preview to provide you with an AI-powered agent  to make your journey smoother, simpler and stress-free. 

What is OpenAI Operator?

OpenAI Operator is an agent that can go to the web to perform tasks for you (such as finding the perfect wedding venue that has space for all your guests, is accessible, serves a vegan menu and has an outdoor ceremony space!). 

Whether you’re looking for the venue that ticks all the boxes, you want to compare wedding photography deals or are looking for a timeline complete with prompts to help you know who to book and when, Operator can handle a wide variety of browser tasks with Hitched to bring your wedding to life for you. 

What AI-Powered Wedding Planning Looks Like

Every wedding comes with its own set of specific requirements, and this is where planning with agents can shine.

Instead of having to manually sift through venues to find one that ticks all your boxes, you can simply ask:

“I want to book a venue in Surrey that has at least 14 guest bedrooms, space for 100 guests and allows external caterers.”

With this detailed prompt, Operator will interact with Hitched’s jam-packed marketplace, curate a list of suitable venues for you, and even initiate contact, saving you precious time.

You can enhance the joy of wedding planning by removing the more stressful elements, such as the heavy lifting of shortlisting and sifting through an overwhelming amount of options. 

The Best Ways to Use AI When Wedding Planning

There are lots of cool ways to use AI to improve your wedding planning - here are just a few sample tasks you can delegate, giving you more time to celebrate!

1. Smart Vendor Matching

By using the extensive Hitched marketplace, Operator can help find the perfect vendors for your wedding. You can provide a prompt like:

“Check what vendor-related tasks we have on our Hitched checklist on the first Monday of every month, and shortlist vendors that match our needs.”

2. Personalised Recommendations

Share your preferences and receive personalised results - whether you want a rustic country affair or a chic city celebration, you’ll receive refined results based on your location, guest count, needs and availability. 

4. Streamlined Booking Experience

Instead of manually reaching out and keeping track of all the enquiries you’re making, you can allow the agent  to take action through Hitched, managing enquiries and bookings on your behalf.

4. Automated Planning Assistance

Take advantage of our comprehensive wedding planning tools by using Operator - it can track your progress and nudge you with reminders. Try using a prompt like:

“Check for outstanding tasks on my wedding checklist and remind me when I need to take action.”

The Future of Wedding Planning

At Hitched, we’re all about embracing technology and empowering couples - that’s why we’re one of the longest-running wedding planning websites in the world! You might not know this, but we’re actually older than Google.

By teaming up with OpenAI for its Operator research preview, we want to enhance your wedding planning experience, making it more intuitive, effective and efficient - all whilst helping you plan your day with our signature support. 

Focus on the magic of the wedding, not the mundane details of the planning and remember, delegate to give you more time to celebrate!
