Delivered with Furrington at Spielwarenmesse Nuremberg, live at Musikfestspiele Saar, in implementation for BRANDmania 2026.

  • GDPR-compliant
  • On-brand
  • Extends the live experience

Event Companion. We breathe life into your event.

Why now

Event visitors expect the event also between performances.

Whoever visits an event today lives between physical experience and digital follow-up. The curtain falls, the concert ends, the interval begins – but the world around it goes on, in the app, in the chat, in the story. Organisers who don't build this follow-up hand their guests' attention to platforms that don't fit the venue's brand.

Event Companion is the on-brand AI figure that embodies the event – before the visit as anticipation voice, during the visit as wayfinder and content guide, after the visit as echo that comes back. As a plus: because Safe-AI and Safe-Data are platform standard with us, you can also address children, teens and families without legal worry lines – GDPR-, youth-protection- and AI-Act-compliant.

What the solution enables

Your event. Your figure. Your content.

– in the app that extends the live experience.

Before the event

Anticipation content, artist introductions, program recommendations – in the voice of the event figure.

During the event

Wayfinding, artist backgrounds, interaction with programme content. Hands-on activities for families and kids optional. Live updates without third-country tracking.

After the event

Memories, photo stories, "What we experienced together". Family view included.

Return funnel

The guest returns after 30, 90, 365 days – just before the next event. Return rate measurable.

What we deliver

What we deliver for your event.

Three outcomes, one event sprint. Character, content, return – from a single source.

01

Character integration

Your event figure (real or fictional) becomes the AI voice, on-brand and youth-protection-compliant. Event figure, artist contributions and programme content remain the property of your organiser. No model training on artist or programme material, no third-country transfer.

Time-to-launch: 8–10 weeks.

02

Program content pipeline

Artist bios, program and content are curated through the RAG pipeline.

RAG-based · on-brand.

03

Return funnel & family view

Measurable return rates for every event guest. Parents and families additionally see what their child experienced.

Return logic transferred from museum pilot.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions.

Our event doesn't have a figure."

+

We build it. From the event spirit, the city, the brand core.

We already have an app."

+

Event apps are usually opened once per event, then forgotten. Event Companion builds the return funnel – no classic event app does that.

Is this worth it for a one-day event?"

+

One-day events scale to event series – one brand, many dates.
