What POOK is
POOK is a browser-based invitation maker for publishing an event page as a share link and matching QR code, then collecting RSVPs. Guests can respond through either option without an account, password, phone number, or app installation. They choose attending, still deciding, or can't make it, and may add an optional note up to 120 characters. The gallery has 450 editable templates, while paid invitations add AI drafting that generates three directions per generation. Paid invitations also open group chat, shared photos, Mood Pulse, Moment Room, and 32 Play Kit activities during the gathering. Each invitation includes 30 guests; hosts can add capacity in blocks of 30 for $0.90 each, up to 450 self-serve guests. One Day costs $1.49, paid once for one invitation. POOK offers a Google Calendar link and an .ics download with alarms set for 24 hours and two hours before the event. Participant-level data is deleted 48 hours after the gathering, while the host keeps an aggregate recap. It supports eight languages, including English and Korean.
