    AI that works as hard as you do—before, during, and after your event

    Every AI feature in Zoho Backstage is seamlessly integrated into the platform, helping you automate tasks, improve attendee experiences, and make smarter decisions throughout your event.

    Turn attendee networking from guesswork into results

    Let Zia analyze registration data, job roles, interests, and session choices to recommend the right people to each attendee. Give everyone at your event a reason to connect before the first session even starts.

    • Help attendees discover the right connections with curated recommendations based on shared interests.
    • Make networking more intentional with attendee search and filters for roles, interests, and other relevant details.
    • Enable meaningful conversations before and during the event with in-app meeting requests and direct messaging.

    Answer every attendee question instantly

    Leverage the AI chatbot on your event website to handle the repetitive support load around the clock. Free your team to focus on running the event instead of answering the same questions over and over.

    • Add the AI chatbot to your event website effortlessly—no heavy technical setup required.
    • Offer instant responses to questions about sessions, speakers, schedules, venue details, and ticket access.
    • Support attendees across different regions with built-in multilingual capabilities.

    Write event content faster without starting from scratch

    Use the AI content assistant built into Zoho Backstage to generate, rewrite, and refine copy without switching tools. Go from a blank field to a polished session description in a few clicks.

    • Generate event descriptions, emails, and website content from a single prompt.
    • Rewrite existing copy, adjust the tone, or tighten content that runs too long.
    • Keep messaging consistent across your event website, emails, and the attendee app.

    Let every attendee find their own event photos in seconds

    Give attendees a selfie-based search that scans the full gallery and groups every photo they appear in. Turn a library of hundreds of images into something personally relevant for every person at your event.

    • Let event attendees upload a selfie and group all of their matching photos from the gallery instantly.
    • Make it easy for the attendees to download their photos directly without scrolling through unrelated images.
    • Control who can view and save gallery content from a single preferences panel.

    Keep your event gallery clean without reviewing every upload

    Set Zia to scan each photo during upload and block inappropriate content before it ever goes public. Run an open, attendee-submitted gallery without the moderation headache.

    • Block explicit photo uploads automatically before they appear in the public gallery.
    • Configure moderation rules, download permissions, and content controls from one central place.
    • Meet content standards for regulated industries like healthcare, education, and finance without manual oversight.

    Connect your AI tools directly to your event data

    Plug Zoho Backstage MCP server into the AI tools your team already uses and get live event data working for you. Ask plain-language questions, trigger actions, and build sharper insights with every event you run.

    • Connect assistants like Claude to your event data using the Model Context Protocol (MCP)—no custom API work needed.
    • Ask questions about registrations, session attendance, lead quality, and engagement in plain language.
    • Build a richer dataset with every event you run and sharpen your insights over time.
    Attendees had been asking us for years to be able to browse sessions , add them to their calendar, and set up meetings. With Backstage, people were coming in saying they already had six or eight meetings lined up. The feedback on that was fantastic.

    Frequently asked questions

    Zia analyzes what attendees share during registration: their interests, job roles, goals, and session choices. It analyzes these signals across all attendee profiles and surfaces recommendations based on shared interests and goals. The more detail attendees fill in, the better the suggestions.
