AI selection
A personal schedule without overlaps
Tell us who you are and what you’re looking for — the selection will score every talk, resolve overlaps between rooms and explain each choice.
Or take an example:
A demo without a paid neural network: the request is parsed by rules in the browser, and the schedule is built by an algorithm that picks non-overlapping intervals with maximum value. In the production version a language model understands the text, and the program and room rules are given to it as tools — it won’t suggest a talk that doesn’t exist and won’t put two talks at the same time.
Speakers
Told by people who shipped it themselves
The program committee selected talks with numbers from production: 32 out of 214 submissions made it.

- A match with an explanation: shared topics and goals
- Your contact’s free slots — no back-and-forth messages
- A table in the networking area and a reminder 10 minutes before
