Show HN: The "best" AI over text – prove me wrong

We built Festa — an AI that coordinates entire events over SMS in real time.
We’re targeting weddings first, but it works for any large gathering. Guests think they’re texting a human, but it’s 100% AI.
It answers questions, chases RSVPs, coordinates vendors, sends reminders… all instantly.
We think it’s the best AI over text in the world. If you think yours is better — or you can make ours fail — try it out on our landing page.
Post your results and feedback here — I’m curious what you throw at it.

Hi all — I’m Kevin, co-founder and technical lead of Festa AI.
I spent 5 years at Amazon on Alexa, where I led the migration of Alexa Timers to AI, cutting response latency from ~10 seconds to 1.9 seconds.
With Festa, we’ve built an SMS-native AI that coordinates events in real time.
Happy to answer any questions about the tech, architecture (at a high level), or where it falls short — we’re here to learn as much as to show it off.
