Planned
Also known as: Planned AI
AI operating system for corporate events whose agents source venues, collect quotes, review contracts, process payments, and enforce policy, with expert humans reviewing outputs.
Planned is an AI operating system for corporate meetings and events that builds AI agents into the sourcing workflow and pairs them with expert human service. A planner describes an event in their own words and Planned's AI builds a structured brief, asks the right follow up questions, and applies the company's policies automatically, then reaches out to relevant suppliers, pre processes RFPs by removing questions it already has answers to from years of supplier conversations, collects quotes, and compiles them into an apples to apples comparison. From there it generates contract summaries for review, lets planners approve within policy and sign, and processes payment as vendor of record so there is one invoice, full spend visibility, and nothing to reconcile. The AI sources, negotiates, reads contracts, processes invoices, and enforces policies across every user, team, and region, completing entire workflows unprompted, while a dedicated sourcing specialist reviews AI outputs and steps in for complex negotiations, VIP events, or whenever a human is wanted. Trained on years of event planning data, Planned reports its supplier recommendations are booked far more often than the next best model, and the program compounds: the AI learns from every guest reply, supplier negotiation, and booking decision so each event runs better and cheaper than the last.

| Workflow OrchestrationThe AI completes the entire event sourcing workflow unprompted, from building a structured brief through supplier outreach, quote collection, apples to apples comparison, contract summaries, policy based approval, and payment as vendor of record. | Full |
| Knowledge Grounding & RAGTrained on years of event planning data, it taps prior supplier conversations to pre process RFPs (removing questions it already has answers to), grounds decisions in company policies, and adds destination intelligence on travel times, weather, and local events. | Full |
| Human Oversight & GuardrailsA dedicated sourcing specialist reviews AI outputs, owns negotiation, and handles anything requiring judgment, VIP events, or a direct supplier conversation, and planners approve within policy and sign, with experts available whenever a human is wanted. | Full |
| Security, Identity & GovernanceEnforces company policies, approval flows, and supplier standards across every user, team, and region, and controls spend as vendor of record, providing strong program governance, but specific security certifications were not retrieved this session. | Partial |
| Observability & AuditabilityProvides full spend visibility with a single invoice, side by side quote comparison, program level intelligence and analytics, and specialist review of AI outputs, giving clear visibility into the sourcing process and its decisions. | Full |
| Memory & State PersistenceThe program gets smarter with every event: the AI learns from every guest reply, supplier negotiation, and booking decision, and taps a persistent history of supplier conversations, so the 50th event runs better than the first. | Full |
| Deployment & Data ResidencyDelivered as a cloud SaaS platform. Policies can be enforced across regions, but no on premise or configurable data residency options are documented on the retrieved pages. | Partial |
| Prebuilt Agents / Templates / PacksOffers standardized event briefs, configurable policy and approval templates, and a curated supplier marketplace including speakers and experiences, but not a user composable catalog of prebuilt agents or packs. | Partial |
| Triggers & Channel CoverageSourcing is initiated by a planner's request and then runs automatically, with policy enforcement triggered on every event and supplier questions auto answered, but broad event driven or multi channel triggering is not documented. | Partial |
| Model Flexibility & RoutingPlanned uses its own AI trained on event planning data and positions it as outperforming general models. No customer selectable model or multi provider routing is documented. | Unable to verify |
| APIs / SDKs / MCP ExtensibilityNo public API, SDK, or MCP surface for building on Planned is documented on the retrieved pages; the platform operates as a closed marketplace and workflow. | Unable to verify |
| Testing, Debugging & OptimizationPlanned reports running blind judgments across models and measures recommendation quality (suppliers booked at 13.4 percent versus 5.0 percent for the next best), and specialists review AI outputs, indicating an evaluation and QA discipline though not a customer facing eval harness. | Partial |
| Browser / Computer-usePlanned operates through its own platform, supplier marketplace, and communications. No browser automation or general computer use capability is documented. | Unable to verify |
Pricing
Free account to use the AI sourcing tool; a small transaction fee applies when booking through Planned (vendor of record). Enterprise program pricing not public.
transaction fee on bookings; event spend flows through Planned
Cost watchouts
Planned is vendor of record, so event spend and a transaction fee flow through the platform. Enterprise managed programs are quote based, and the exact transaction fee was not retrieved.
Variable cost rationale
Cost tracks event spend and a per booking transaction fee routed through Planned as vendor of record, so total spend scales directly with the number and size of events sourced.
Sales call required
Mixed (some tiers require a call)

Key ambiguities
The exact transaction fee percentage and any enterprise program subscription are not public. Cost is dominated by event spend routed through Planned.
