Run a guest concierge agent for a 300-person wedding
The poster built a wedding planning app with Gemini-powered agents, including a guest concierge, and writes up the failure modes seen in deployment. Task: Suggested implementation: Build a wedding guest concierge using Gemini agents with MCP tools for read-only access to event schedules, venues, and guest profiles. The workflow involves parsing uploaded flight itineraries (photos/PDFs) into arrival times for confirmation. Human role: The groom or organizer must verify critical answers and handle exceptions where automated parsing fails.; tools: Gemini. Human role: The original post does not say how a person stayed involved.; limitations: Prerequisites include reliable MCP tool integration for structured data access. Constraints: Users may ignore verification steps (estimated 30% in summary), and timezone parsing errors can destroy trust. Operating costs involve Gemini API usage. Integration uncertainty exists regarding photo/PDF parsing accuracy. Human approval is required for final itinerary confirmations..

Overview
The poster built a wedding planning app with Gemini-powered agents, including a guest concierge, and writes up the failure modes seen in deployment.
Workflow
Suggested implementation: Build a wedding guest concierge using Gemini agents with MCP tools for read-only access to event schedules, venues, and guest profiles. The workflow involves parsing uploaded flight itineraries (photos/PDFs) into arrival times for confirmation. Human role: The groom or organizer must verify critical answers and handle exceptions where automated parsing fails.
Reported result
Actual outcomes are unknown as the source is inaccessible (HTTP 403). Based on the provided summary, the AI was mostly accurate but suffered from trust issues due to timezone errors in multi-leg flight parsing. Guests reportedly bypassed verification steps, and jailbreak attempts occurred. No specific metrics on success rates are available.
Human role

Try it
Act as a wedding tech consultant. I need to pilot a guest concierge agent for a 300-person wedding. Inputs: 1. [Replaceable: Wedding Schedule JSON] 2. [Replaceable: Venue & Dress Code Details] 3. [Replaceable: Guest List with Contact Info] 4. [Replaceable: Sample Flight Itinerary PDFs/Images] Steps: 1. Configure a Gemini agent with read-only MCP tools to access the schedule and venue data. 2. Implement a flight parsing module that extracts arrival times from the sample inputs. 3. Create a verification workflow where the agent presents parsed data to the user for confirmation before logging it. 4. Run a dry test with 5 internal users. Output: - A configuration file for the agent. - A report on parsing accuracy for the sample flights. - A list of edge cases (e.g., timezone mismatches) encountered. Success Metric: - 100% of parsed arrival times must be manually verified by the test group before being considered 'confirmed'. - Zero critical errors in venue/dress code retrieval. Safeguards: - Do not auto-confirm any flight details. - Require human sign-off for any guest profile updates. - If parsing fails, escalate to manual entry. Clarifying Questions: - What is the specific format of the flight itinerary data? - Who has final authority to approve guest list changes?
