Singapore-headquartered event management company Gevme has launched Snapsight, a new AI-powered tool which distils insights, and generates summaries and key takeaways from live conference sessions.
Gevme introduced Snapsight for the first time in Singapore at the PCMA The Business of Events conference earlier this week, following its initial deployment at the Business Events Industry Week in Chicago, US, earlier in April. It will be officially launched at IMEX Frankfurt next month.
On the development of Snapsight, Veemal Gungadin, CEO, Gevme, told TTGmice on the sidelines of PCMA The Business of Events conference: “We’ve been saying content is king for the longest time, but we’ve not been able to leverage on that. Making sense of it, repurposing the content, all of this takes time and resources. Now with the help of AI, we can generate insights in real-time.”
Snapsight offers three different forms of takeaways: Key Takeaways, which are in point form; Idea Cloud, which looks like a mind map; and a cohesive Summary. Snapsight’s inclusivity shines through its support for eight languages, enabling instant translation with just a tap. More languages will be added in the future.
Gungadin elaborated: “As PCMA has other concurrent breakout sessions, Snapsight will also allow me to read the takeaways of other sessions I am interested in, but physically unable to attend. I can also share the learning points with colleagues who are not at the event.”
In addition to providing takeaways from individual sessions, Snapsight was also deployed to generate a summary of the two-day PCMA The Business of Events conference.
Snapsight is not the only AI-powered tool that Gevme has developed. Last year, Gevme produced Spark, a tool which simplifies numerous tasks associated with business event planning and content creation, such as writing speaker profiles, and fleshing out an event agenda.
When asked if the development of event technology has taken a backseat with face-to-face meetings back in full force, Gungadin opined: “I think that technology has to be invisible, like Wi-Fi. Instead of providing friction – such as putting on a headset and being transported into another world which can be done at home – technology should take on a supporting role at the event I have taken time to travel to.”
