Voice seating
Say it, it is seated
No more hunting for a guest in a list or dragging them around with the mouse. Say "seat Paul next to Marie and move the Durands to table 4": the AI understands the whole sentence and updates your chart in seconds.
- Several instructions at once: a single sentence can move guests, change a meal choice and flag an allergy.
- Ask it questions too: "who is at table 4?", "who is not seated yet?", "who has allergies?".
- Nothing is guessed: if two guests share a first name, Convive asks which one and you answer with a click.
- Undo whenever you want: every applied command can be undone with one click, and you are never charged for a sentence that did not go through.
3 free credits on the free plan to try it out, no card required. 1 credit = 1 command or 1 question, across all your events.
Convive is listening
