Which events suit an AI avatar?

In short

In principle, any event where a moderator leads a conversation on stage: a panel, a customer event, a town hall or a university. The AI avatar takes a seat in that conversation as a guest. From one format to the next, the audience changes. What it argues there, you set in the briefing.

E/01 · Conference panel
Is an AI avatar worth it on your panel, and which one?
Yes, if your panel lacks a point of view. If the guests agree, Albert brings the counter-position. Vera asks where the numbers come from, and Ken speaks for those with no seat on stage. The AI avatar does not talk until the moderator calls its name. For an exchange where people cut each other off, it is too slow.

E/02 · Customer event
Can an AI avatar argue against your product at your own customer event?
Yes, if the briefing says so. In it, you decide whether the AI avatar speaks for your product or as its critic. The moderator calls it by name when the conversation needs that voice. It makes up no numbers along the way, not even ones that would help your product.

E/03 · Internal town hall
Town hall with an AI avatar: who raises the objection?
At an internal town hall, the AI avatar plays devil’s advocate. It raises the objections nobody on the staff wants to put their name to, and leadership answers in front of everyone. The objections can come from questions employees submitted anonymously beforehand.

E/04 · Education and universities
Can an AI avatar join a discussion at a university?
Yes, as a guest on screen, at a conference or in a seminar. The moderator calls the AI avatar by name. Afterward, students can follow up if their microphone runs through the mixing desk. They see where it disagrees and where it runs out of answers. We recommend Tina, with Albert or Vera added for a contested question.

01Criterion

Someone has to hand out the floor

The AI avatar waits until the moderator calls it by name or hands it a question on the tablet. Only then does it answer, and afterward it briefly takes follow-up questions.

So a program suits it when someone on stage runs the conversation and brings it in. Where nobody hands out the floor, say during a talk, it has nothing to do. If the talk is followed by a discussion round, it can take a seat in that round.

02Formats

Who answers it defines the format

On a panel it argues with the other guests, addresses them by name and pushes back where it sees things differently. If it plays the critic of your product at a customer event, your own people answer it in front of your customers. At a town hall it raises the objections from the briefing, and management has to respond, in front of the whole staff. At a university, students test its arguments, and where it does not know something, it says so.

For a panel or a town hall we therefore recommend Albert, Vera or Ken; at a customer event any of the four fits. For a university we recommend Tina, with Albert or Vera added for a contested question.

03Briefing

Same character, different briefing

That puts Albert and Vera on the list for every format. If you are planning a panel and a town hall in the same year, you can bring in the same character both times.

On the panel, Albert then defends a thesis; at the town hall, the same Albert raises the objection that often nobody in the room voices. The tone stays the same. What Albert argues, you write into a fresh briefing for each event.

04First pilot

For a first pilot, we suggest a panel

That is our own assessment, based on what we have tested. In most of our live tests, one person moderated, a second voice took part as a guest, and the AI avatar answered when its name came up. At its core, a panel is the same setup, usually with more guests.

So at a panel, much stays the same for it. In the other formats, more changes at once, such as who answers it.

05Inquiry

Format and date are enough for an inquiry

Your event could become one of our first pilots, on pilot terms. Tell us which format you are planning and when, and allow about two weeks of lead time.
