AI for event management companies in Dubai
How do event companies answer guest RSVPs on WhatsApp with AI?
Create one event fact sheet with timings, venue, parking, dress code, plus-one rules and contacts. ChatGPT then drafts a reply to each guest message in the guest’s language, and notes any RSVP change for your guest list. Your team reviews and sends the reply on WhatsApp. Questions the fact sheet doesn’t cover, and VIP or access requests, go to a person.
Why guest messages pile up
In the week before an event, the same handful of questions arrive hundreds of times: what time, where to park, what to wear, can I bring someone, is there a prayer room. Each takes a minute to answer, but together they take a whole person’s day, often the week the team is busiest.
The event fact sheet
Everything starts with one page per event. The AI answers only from it:
| Section | Example |
|---|---|
| Timings | Doors 19:00, dinner 20:00, close 23:30 |
| Venue & parking | Ballroom, level 2; valet at main entrance; free parking B2 |
| Dress code | Black tie optional |
| Plus-ones | Only if named on the invitation |
| Facilities | Prayer room level 1; wheelchair access via side entrance |
| Escalate to staff | VIP, seating, press, dietary changes after 48 hours |

Guardrails
- Answers come only from the fact sheet; anything else goes to a person.
- VIP, seating, press and access requests are always handled by staff.
- Your team sends every message; nothing is sent automatically.
Common questions
Can AI answer event guest questions on WhatsApp?
It drafts replies from your event fact sheet in the guest's language, and your team reviews and sends them on WhatsApp.
Is this an automatic chatbot?
No. By default staff send every reply, which keeps promises about access, seating and plus-ones under your control.
Can it update our guest list?
It notes RSVP changes and plus-one requests in a structured way so your team can update the guest list quickly.
What if a guest asks something not on the fact sheet?
The draft says it will check, and the question is passed to a staff member to answer.
