What Gladkin does

Gladkin finds a time, a place and a host for your group's next get-together. Its messages go to your group chat. Then you put the phone down. Connection is good for you, and the best version of this is the one you barely open.

Your link is personal

The page you get when you join acts as you, so please don't forward it. Bookmark it. Tapping the group-chat link on the same phone takes you straight back to your page. On a different phone or browser, ask your organizer to send yours again, or use "Sign in" with your email if it's available.

How a date is picked

Some groups say when they're free, and Gladkin picks the date that fits the most people. Other groups have a usual time, like the second Thursday: everyone is a tentative yes, and the date can move up to 7 days either way to fit people. If the usual date doesn't work for you, tell Gladkin.

What the host does

The next host is asked by message, and can say yes, pass, or say they can't make that date. They can name a place, or Gladkin suggests one from the group's list. If the host doesn't answer within 48 hours, Gladkin asks someone else, unless they've said they're free for that date. Passing is fine. The rotation aims to share hosting fairly, so whoever has hosted least recently is asked first. After a get-together, the next host may get a short note of anonymous themes from the group's feedback.

What the AI reads

When you type to Gladkin, an AI reads your message to understand it. Dates, hosts and who gets messaged are decided by ordinary code, not the AI. More on the privacy page.

How many messages to expect

One message of each kind per get-together, and at most 3 a week to you, except the host's request, which always reaches the host. Nothing goes out between 21:00 and 09:00 your time; it waits until morning.

Leaving and deleting

On your page, "Leave group" is one tap. "What Gladkin remembers" lets you see, edit and delete what's kept, or delete all your data.
