When Chatbots rule the world: The dawn of GPT Agents in event planning
Picture GPT Agents, cutting-edge chatbots, revolutionising event planning with their autonomous, hyper-efficient, and tailor-made approaches, dramatically reshaping the industry.
In an era marked by rapid technological advances, the emergence of GPT Agents stands as a testament to the transformative power of AI. These advanced chatbots, set to evolve into more intuitive, responsive, and interconnected entities, are leading to their widespread adoption across various industries. This significant uptake is forging a network of AI systems, revolutionising sectors like event planning and redefining operational frameworks with unparalleled efficiency and personalisation. Imagine chatbots communicating autonomously, orchestrating complex tasks without human intervention – the possibilities are thrilling.
Complete vacation planning with a single click
ChatGPT, at the forefront of this AI revolution, has already made a significant impact as a guide and research tool in travel and vacation planning. With the imminent launch of OpenAI’s Store for GPTs, users will soon be able to purchase specialised GPT agents for highly specific tasks, such as finding unique tropical getaways.
Envision going a step further, where your GPT agent, armed with your credit card details, is prompted to “Plan me a unique summer vacation.” With one command, the bot would connect with Skyscanner’s chatbot and book flights, contact local transfer firms and handle your pickup, digest all Booking.com’s best prices and accommodation, book leisure activities attuned to your needs, and even make restaurant reservations based on your known tastes and preferences. This scenario isn’t just convenient; it represents a monumental leap in AI’s role in our lives.
A paradigm shifts in event planning
In the event planning sector, GPT agents will soon handle 90% of the pre-organisation tasks. They will negotiate with service providers, manage bookings, and ensure operations are executed efficiently and smoothly.
This interconnectedness will streamline event planning operations, handling everything from hotel bookings to talent acquisition, all with a level of precision and efficiency previously unimaginable.
If you’re struggling to imagine how this might function, check out this video I made demonstrating an existing agent tool completing such a task, it’s quite remarkable.
This evolution raises critical questions for the event planning industry, particularly for traditional agencies. How they adapt and integrate these AI tools will be crucial for their survival and growth in this new AI-dominated landscape. Not to mention all other industries that will be disrupted.

The potential of AI, as highlighted in The Coming Wave: Technology, Power, and the Twenty-first Century’s Greatest Dilemma by Mustafa Suleyman. He writes about the latest ‘litmus test’ for AI, which is to give it the instruction to “make me $1million selling stuff on Amazon”.
The AI bot will scan Amazon for the most profitable products, design something new, have it made in China, list it online, write all the ad copy, manage fulfilment and customer service with the goal of depositing $1million into your bank account. Underscoring the capabilities of these systems to autonomously perform complex, profitable tasks.
This article aims to illustrate the profound impact AI could have on industries like event planning, where tasks that require extensive coordination, but not necessarily high creativity levels can be efficiently managed by AI. This shift allows human planners to focus more on creative solutions and personalised experiences, enhancing the value they bring to the event planning process.
