What arrived
Sarah's birthday: 12 replies, 8 still missing
Half the guest list still hasn't answered Sarah's party invite, and the date's close enough that chasing them matters now.
Follow-ups

When the guest list is half-answered
The party's a couple of weeks out, some replies are in and some aren't, and chasing the stragglers one by one means re-reading the whole invite thread to remember who's who.

Beemy's draft
Quick one: Sarah's birthday on Saturday
A friendly nudge is drafted for exactly the eight guests who haven't replied, each one worded the way you'd actually write to that person. Everyone who already answered, including a firm no, is left alone.
You approve the batch, and only the missing guests hear from you.
How Beemy handles it
3 steps, approval-first the whole way.
- 01
Checks who's actually replied
Beemy reads the invite thread and the calendar responses to work out exactly who's answered and who hasn't: no manual list-checking.
- 02
Drafts a nudge to only the missing guests
The reminder is friendly, short, and goes only to the people who still need to answer. Nobody who's already replied gets a repeat message.
- 03
Waits for your approval before sending
You see who it's about to nudge and what it says before anything goes out.
What you still decide
- Every nudge waits for your approval, per guest, until you promote this category yourself.
- You choose the tone: a light joke for a close friend, a plainer note for someone you know less well.
- Anyone who replies with a real question about the event is handed to you instead of a second nudge.
The honest scope
What it reads. What it can do. What it never does.
Reads
- The invite thread and calendar responses, to know who's actually answered
- Your past messages to each guest, to draft a nudge that sounds like you
Can do
- Drafts a nudge to whoever hasn't answered and holds it for your approval
- Re-checks responses before the next nudge, so nobody gets chased twice
Never
- Never sends a nudge without your approval until you promote the category yourself
- Never lets this personal guest list inform a work draft, or vice versa
- Never nudges a guest who's already declined; that's treated as an answer in itself
Why chasing an RSVP is harder than it looks
A mass reminder to the whole list annoys the people who already answered, and a single missed name looks like you forgot them. Working out exactly who's still missing, and writing to them like you actually know them, is the part that makes this feel personal instead of automated.
Questions
Fair questions, straight answers.
Will it nudge people who already said no?
No, a decline is treated as an answer in itself, so it's left alone.
Does it send the same message to everyone?
No, each nudge is drafted for that specific guest, in the tone you'd actually use with them, and still waits for your approval.
Can it handle a work event guest list the same way?
The same job works for a work invite, but that thread stays in your work silo: a personal guest list never informs a work draft.
