AI co-pilot for event and retreat planning
We're building an AI co-pilot that automates the tedious parts of organizing corporate events and retreats. Our AI handles tasks like reaching out to venues via email and phone, coordinating availability, managing negotiations, and then surfacing the best options to the planners. It's designed specifically for people who plan company retreats and large events, saving them time and headaches in logistical back-and-forth.
We live in San Francisco, CA, and the company would remain based here after YC.
