Sidecar AI

Your event ends. What if the change didn't?

Sidecar AI sets your event up for impact before it begins, and supports participants to apply their insights afterwards.

It gives each participant a one-to-one conversational companion, helping them arrive with clear stakes and continue the work when they return to everyday life.

Familiar from the first hello

A local number. A familiar conversation.

Participants receive a local phone number for their country. They can call Sidecar AI as they would any other number, or call and message the agent through WhatsApp.

There is no new platform to learn. The conversation happens in a channel they already know, wherever they are.

The whole arc

Before, during and after

  1. 01

    Before

    A reflective voice conversation helps each participant name the real challenge or goal they are bringing into the room.

  2. 02

    During

    Your event remains untouched. Sidecar AI can answer questions about the agenda, speakers and practical details through messaging.

  3. 03

    After

    Voice and message follow-ups help participants test what mattered, reflect on what happened and keep going in real conditions.

What a full arc looks like

The three days in London are the middle of the arc, not all of it. This map shows what happens before and after, what Sidecar AI carries, what stays human, and why each touchpoint is there.

Andy's heuristic (not a research finding): spend effort roughly 30 / 40 / 30 across before, during and after. Touchpoint counts are only a rough proxy for effort.

What is included

Personal at scale

  • Personal voice conversations before and after the event
  • Calling and messaging through a local number or WhatsApp
  • Knowledge shaped around your speakers, agenda, themes and intended change
  • The option to use your event or organisation branding
  • An anonymised report showing shared themes, friction and application without identifying participants

Sidecar AI meets people in a setting and channel already familiar to them, making a reflective conversation feel natural rather than like another piece of event software.

We carbon offset the impact of customer AI usage.
