Take the guesswork out
of your meeting programs

Just like Netflix and Amazon, our technology uses machine learning and advanced algorithms to make intelligent initial recommendations and create better meeting schedules. The more events you use it for, the more accurate your recommendations become, resulting in higher quality and more efficient meetings.
