Tips for achieving better results
Don’t just ask “Can you fill this out?” → Instead, tell the AI what type of event it is and what you’re trying to achieve.
AI works best when you feed it details — even if it’s messy, unclear or has typos.
Chat with it like an assistant: it won’t get it perfect first time, but it will get you 80% of the way faster. It’s all about having the conversation and leading your AI to a final outcome.
Get More Done, with Less Stress
Your Event Kit templates just got smarter. Simple Word and Excel documents are no longer blank. They come with pre-filled content designed by our team, and now you can customise them with the help of your own AI agent.
