Hi Product Hunt friends!

We’re so excited to launch Nowadays today! 🎉

We’re a sister-founded team who’ve planned hundreds of events for Google, Blackrock, Hubspot, Supabase & more - from intimate exec retreats in Napa to full hotel buyouts (including the White Lotus Season 3 property in Thailand! 🏝️)

Just tell us your event details, and Nowadays will find venues, negotiate, and handle all the logistics — from flights and payments to attendee tracking.

✨ New features launching today:
📚 Venue Collective: A new community for event planners, by event planners - built to save your hard-earned venue intel. Keep all your historical notes (WiFi speeds, floorplan quirks, F&B realities) in one place, even if you switch jobs. Browse trusted reviews from vetted planners, not vendor pitches. Meet AVA, your AI assistant - just tell her about your venue experience and she’ll capture every detail for you, no typing required. Earn FAM trips, invites, and industry cred for sharing your expertise.
🎙️ Voice AI: Negotiates 20-25% discounts and exclusive concessions with hotels on your behalf.
📝 Automated RFPs + Contract Analyzer: Send proposals & flag risky terms instantly.
✈️ All-in-One Tools: Flights, payments, attendee management, budget tracking, custom landing pages & interactive maps.
🎁 Launch perks: 50%+ off for planners & $250 referral bonuses → nowadays.ai/referral

💡 What’s one thing you wish AI could just handle for your events? Drop it in the comments - we’d love to hear from you! 🩵

@vinnie4k you're so right

"Voice AI: Negotiates 20-25% discounts and exclusive concessions with hotels on your behalf." - this is the kind of feature that comes from founders who know their industry!

Anna Sun ☀️

@dmitcha so much savings people don’t even know they’re missing!! hotels have all these negotiable rates and perks – most teams just don’t ask for them or don't know what to ask for

Amy Yan

@dmitcha thank you!! We’ve spent years in the trenches negotiating with venues and vendors, so we trained our AI with all those insider tactics. It’s not just about finding the perfect venue - it’s about getting you the best possible deal and perks that most people don’t even know to ask for!

DMA Anderson

@amysunyan Love to hear it - also, a publication on HARO was looking for AI event planning tech interviews with an 8/14 deadline; happy to send you the info or post here if you haven't already seen it.

@amysunyan Summary: How AI is impacting the corporate event planning industry

Media Outlet: Corporate & Incentive Travel (https://www.themeetingmagazines.com)

Deadline: 7:00 PM ET - 14 August

Query:

How are events and meetings being enhanced with AI? What are some new tools being used by meeting and event planners and what are some use cases that illustrated the use of AI in today's meetings/events. What are some obstacles to AI Implementation (i.e., data privacy, high implementation costs, lack of trust in vendors' capabilities?) I need to interview meetings and event professionals about the role AI is playing in the meetings & events industry for an article for Corporate & Incentive Travel.

Amy Yan

@dmitcha oh wow, thanks so much for flagging!! We'd love the opportunity to interview, and I just reached out to Maura - really appreciate it!

💎 Pixel perfection

Nice job, team! What's the biggest difference between leveraging Nowadays vs. ChatGPT Agent to handle it for me?

Anna Sun ☀️

@pakhzar thanks for asking phillip!! chatgpt agent is like a smart helper you still have to manage. you give it prompts, it gives you ideas, but you’re still chasing quotes, juggling spreadsheets, and following up with vendors (aka the most tedious, time-consuming parts).

nowadays is built for corporate events. it actually runs the show for you: sourcing, vendor comms, negotiations, timelines, payments, attendee tracking — all in one place. we’re also certified travel agents, so we’ll negotiate the best rates for you while we’re at it!!

Amy Yan

@pakhzar great question Phillip! We’ve already built direct relationships with every venue in our database and bring over $10M in annual hotel bookings. That means we know exactly who to contact at each property, which gets us faster responses and our booking volume gives us real negotiating leverage.

Plus, our agents are trained on thousands of real hotel contracts - we know the standard terms, concessions, and hidden pitfalls, so we can secure better deals and more favorable terms than a generic AI agent.

And finally our real secret sauce! Our in-house planners personally review properties and share exclusive, first-hand insights, like which meeting spaces are dark and dingy, and which hotels have the most accommodating onsite teams. These insights are proprietary to our platform (unlike Google reviews, which are written for individual travelers, not corporate teams).

Christina Chen

It’s your pocket planner plus all the AI gadgets. Really understands the corporate event world. Goodbye stress. Hello sunshine.

Anna Sun ☀️

@chrichen ☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️

Elene Tandashvili

Such a clever idea! Event planning can be so overwhelming and I love how Nowadays takes the messy parts venue searching, outreach, logistics and just makes them easy. This will save so much time for teams. Congrats on the launch!

Amy Yan

@elene_tandashvili thank you!! We’ve definitely seen how overwhelming the process can get, so it’s been exciting to build something that takes the stress out of it :)

Alfredo Diaz

Hussein Syed

Amy Yan

@hussein_syed thank you!! <3

Disha Dhingra

Finding venue and closing it at the given budget, the BIGGEST challenge organising the event! This is such a cool way to make use of AI to do the cumbersome job! Love it!

Anna Sun ☀️

@disha_dhingra the budget is always one of the hardest parts!! glad you’re also excited about making it easier to plan :)

Niladri Hazra

Love the concept..AI for event planning is a real time-saver. Excited to see where you take it!

P.S. Looks like we’re launching on the same day...glad to be sharing it. you can check mine too!

Anna Sun ☀️

@niladri_hazra thanks niladri, checking out your product as we speak - super cool!!

Amy Yan

@niladri_hazra thank you!! congrats on your launch as well!!

Esther Crawford

Love this idea - super useful for early stage teams who don’t have an events team to pull together offsites, etc.

Amy Yan

@esthercrawford thank you!! Exactly, for smaller teams, it’s often a volunteer who steps up to organize the offsite, and it can turn into a big operational lift. We’re here to streamline that process so they can focus on the fun, creative side of planning instead of chasing hotel quotes and logistics :)

Rohan Kadam

Cruise Chen

Ngl, having AI handle all the venue hunting and negotiation is such a game changer—no more endless emails and spreadsheets, fr. You all nailed it!

Amy Yan

@cruise_chen thanks cruise, so glad to hear it! That’s exactly the headache we want to solve, so you can skip the back-and-forth and just get the perfect venue locked in :)

Bhavya Arora

Nowadays.ai just turned planning corporate events from a week of email chaos into something you can literally automate over coffee

Amy Yan

@bhavyaaurora yes exactly!! Excited for your upcoming launch as well!! <3

Joey Judd

No way, an AI just for corporate event planning? That’s genius—I always dread coordinating those endless details. Does it handle venue bookings too, or just scheduling?

Amy Yan

@joey_zhu_seopage_ai thanks for your support! Yes, our AI also handles venue bookings (from contacting venues and gathering quotes to negotiating and finalizing the booking)!

Richard Gu

Congrats on the launch team! Will be using Nowadays for our first company offsite
