EventsAir has announced that Planner Assistant, part of its Air Intelligence suite, is now live and available to all event planners on the platform.

Working across live and historical event data, Planner Assistant lets planners ask questions directly within EventsAir rather than building reports or navigating dashboards, summarising results in plain language and turning them into charts that can be saved and shared. A planner could ask for total revenue broken down by registration type and payment status, or ask which sessions are trending toward overcapacity, with the tool able to take an action, such as moving a session to a larger hall, on request in the same conversation.

Paul Trappett, CEO at EventsAir, said: “Planner Assistant is about giving planners their time back. Every hour spent building a report or chasing down a number is an hour not spent on the parts of the job that actually shape a great event. Because Planner Assistant is built directly into the platform planners already rely on, it doesn’t just tell them what’s happening in their event. It helps them act on it, in the same place, in the same moment.”

Built directly into the platform

Rather than running as a separate tool, Planner Assistant is built into EventsAir itself, giving it access to a planner’s live event data across registrations, revenue, sessions, speakers and accommodation. Mehdi Khalili, CTO at EventsAir, said this was a deliberate choice: “Building Planner Assistant directly into EventsAir means we can help planners understand what’s happening and act on it without taking them out of the platform where the work is actually happening.”
