Austin Lau, who works in marketing at Anthropic, may have just set a new standard for AI-powered wedding planning.
Ahead of marrying his longtime partner, Lau used Claude Code to analyze 12 years of iMessages between the couple, then fed the data into Claude Design to generate a custom wedding website packed with stats, charts, and inside jokes. He posted this on X, racking up more than 3 million views.
The result looked like a Spotify Wrapped for their relationship: 161,000 messages, 8,600 shared photos, almost 28,000 emojis, and nearly 1,800 "I love you" texts. One chart mapped their texting habits over time, with a peak in 2016 when they were in college. Another chart revealed that messaging spiked around 9 p.m.
But the internet fixated on something else: the couple's second most-used emoji over 12 years was the angry face. One X user wrote, "Best of luck mate."
Lau's response: "I'm cooked brother."
