Nowadays - AI Event Planner for Corporate Teams

What

Nowadays is an AI-native event planning platform for corporate teams. It is designed to reduce the manual work involved in planning company events by covering venue sourcing, proposal comparison, budgeting, registration, vendor coordination, and day-of execution support.

The product appears positioned for organizations that run offsites, retreats, all-hands meetings, field events, and similar corporate gatherings, including startups, enterprises, people teams, executive assistants, agencies, travel agents, and event marketers. Its core workflow replaces fragmented emails, spreadsheets, and external planners with one system that helps teams choose a city, source venues and vendors, compare proposals, manage budgets, and coordinate execution.

Features

• Flight and budget estimation: Compares travel costs across cities using attendee lists, dates, and preferences to help teams evaluate destination options before committing.
• Large venue and vendor sourcing database: Searches a database of 400K+ vetted venues and supports sourcing of A/V, catering, transportation, and related services from one place.
• AI outreach for venue sourcing: Automates personalized first-contact emails and phone follow-up to gather availability and move RFP conversations forward faster.
• Proposal translation and comparison: Converts venue proposals from PDFs and emails into structured, side-by-side breakdowns for quicker analysis of rates, fees, and inclusions.
• Budget and event operations management: Provides expense tracking, cost forecasting, and alerts across event categories to support budget control throughout the planning cycle.
• Registration and vendor coordination: Includes registration pages, RSVP tracking, payment collection, and a model where multiple suppliers are coordinated through one contract and one invoice.

Helpful Tips

• Validate service depth by event type: If your events require complex production, international logistics, or strict procurement workflows, confirm which parts are fully handled in-platform versus supported by human specialists.
• Check how negotiation fits your buying process: Nowadays emphasizes negotiated rates and concessions, so teams should align internal approval, legal, and procurement steps to capture that value efficiently.
• Review data inputs before using cost estimators: Flight and budget estimates will be more useful when attendee locations, travel windows, and rooming assumptions are accurate early in the process.
• Use side-by-side proposal analysis for stakeholder alignment: Standardized proposal breakdowns can reduce debate across finance, operations, and executive stakeholders, especially when comparing total cost rather than headline room rate alone.
• Assess the single-invoice model carefully: Consolidated vendor management can simplify operations, but buyers should confirm how vendor detail, change orders, and reconciliation are surfaced for internal reporting.

OpenClaw Skills

Nowadays could likely pair well with OpenClaw as an orchestration layer around corporate event operations, even though the page does not describe a native integration. An OpenClaw workflow could ingest event briefs, attendee data, and budget constraints, then trigger skills for destination scoring, venue shortlist generation, proposal summarization, stakeholder approval routing, and post-event reporting. For executive assistants, people teams, and event marketers, this would likely turn a multi-week coordination process into a guided operating workflow with fewer manual handoffs.

A broader OpenClaw ecosystem around Nowadays could also support specialized agents such as a travel policy checker, a finance-review copilot, a registration QA agent, or a vendor-risk review assistant. These are inferred use cases rather than confirmed product features. In practice, that combination could make corporate event planning more structured and auditable, shifting the role of planners and operations staff from chasing suppliers and reconciling documents toward higher-value decisions on experience design, budget tradeoffs, and stakeholder communication.
