the problem

Your prep workflow is stuck in spreadsheets

Community managers lose 4 to 6 hours per speaker on manual research and formatting.

Manual web searches

Hours of Googling and tab switching to find recent podcasts, articles, and milestones.

Cross-referencing profiles

Pasting LinkedIn fragments into spreadsheets to piece together a bio and talking points.

Disjointed context

Generic ChatGPT prompts give hallucinated bios and zero coherent narrative for your stage.

Complete speaker dossiers

Every relevant podcast, article, and milestone gathered in one clean timeline.

Past soundbites extracted

Pull quotable moments and key arguments from prior talks to frame your intro.

Timed thematic question arcs

Structured, printable run-of-show with question tracks that flow naturally.
