AI optimizes the entire meeting organization process. Xiaoou AI Meeting secures 2 million yuan in angel round financing.
36Kr learned that the AI - powered conference service provider "Xiaoou AI Conference Organizer" recently completed a 2 - million - yuan angel round of financing, with the investor being Xioou Investment Group. The funds from this round will mainly be used for optimizing the backend system, connecting with more venue and event - publishing partners, and recruiting professional talents. In the current wave of digital transformation in the conference and event industry, Xiaoou AI Conference Organizer aims to systematically improve the operational efficiency of traditional event organizers through AI technology. Its products have achieved profitability and have served over 20 event organizers in total.
Precisely targeting the market gap: Integrating AI technology with practical experience
The planning and organization of conferences and events is a typical process that involves multiple steps, heavy - duty operations, and strong coordination.
Traditional event organizers have long - standing pain points: from planning, guest invitation, material design, registration management to on - site execution, each step relies on a large amount of manual communication and repetitive labor, which is not only time - consuming and labor - intensive but also error - prone. Although there are already tools in the market for single steps such as "venue search" or "ticket sales", there is still a lack of a comprehensive and intelligent solution that can cover the entire process.
Xiaoou AI Conference Organizer precisely targets this systematic pain point. Its product model is based on its parent company "Xioou Network" - a venture capital service platform with experience in planning and executing over 40 large - scale events with over 500 participants and more than a hundred salons. It has accumulated mature methodologies and in - depth insights into customer needs. The company standardizes and deconstructs the proven offline conference - organizing process and integrates artificial intelligence technology to achieve process automation and intelligence.
Its core ability lies in applying AI to specific scenarios such as guest invitation management, personalized guest poster generation, intelligent schedule arrangement, press release generation and distribution, and participant matching. Take event poster production as an example. Traditionally, it takes a designer 10 - 20 minutes to complete one poster. However, through Xiaoou AI Conference Organizer's system, after the organizer inputs guest information and uploads guest photos, the AI can generate a professionally designed poster that matches the brand's tone within 30 seconds, significantly reducing the labor and time costs of repetitive design work. This is just a microcosm of process optimization. In essence, it liberates organizers from cumbersome and repetitive administrative tasks, allowing them to focus on event strategies and content.
SaaS model and diversified payment methods, achieving profitability
In terms of product implementation, Xiaoou AI Conference Organizer provides services in the SaaS (Software as a Service) model. Event organizers can flexibly choose payment methods according to their own needs, including paying per event, annual subscriptions, or lifetime usage licenses. This low - threshold access method helps quickly attract small and medium - sized enterprise customers with infrequent event - organizing needs, as well as large - scale institutions with continuous event - organizing requirements.
Li Xiaoyan, the co - founder of the company, said that the product development has always focused on real - world event - organizing pain points, aiming to truly save time and effort for peers and achieve cost reduction and efficiency improvement. Currently, the company has served over 20 event organizers in total and has achieved profitability through a clear business model, which validates the market's willingness to pay for its solutions and the practicality of the products.
In addition to directly empowering organizers with tools, Xiaoou AI Conference Organizer is committed to building a more open partner ecosystem. It plans to connect with more types of service providers, such as unique venue resources across the country, media, and event - publishing platforms. The goal is to position itself as the "intelligent conference - organizing hub", providing organizers with one - stop services from tools to resources, and enhancing the overall value and stickiness of the platform.
The team has been deeply involved in the industry for a decade and is favored by capital
The core competitiveness of Xiaoou AI Conference Organizer lies not only in technology application but also in the team's in - depth understanding of the industry. Its core members all have over a decade of experience in the Internet industry and event planning and execution. This "industry - savvy + technology - savvy" composite background ensures that the product functions can precisely meet customer needs and have the ability to continuously iterate.
It is this solid industry foundation and clear product path that led the parent company to establish an independent team for external operations. Li Zhilei, the general manager of Xioou Investment Group, said when talking about the investment logic: "We focus on the application and implementation of 'AI + vertical industries'. The conference service industry is a field with complex processes, high labor intensity, and a low level of digitalization, with clear room for efficiency improvement. The Xiaoou AI Conference Organizer team does not come from a pure technical background but has grown from real - world business scenarios. The AI tools they have developed are the standardization and productization of their years of practical experience, which is more viable and practical than a technology concept from scratch. We are optimistic about their potential to reshape the traditional conference - organizing process with AI technology and believe they can become an important player in this vertical market."
As the demand for efficient and intelligent conferences and events continues to grow across various industries, the digital and intelligent transformation of traditional conference services has become a clear trend. Xiaoou AI Conference Organizer avoids the highly competitive single - step market and chooses to optimize the overall process with AI as a differentiating entry point. With its first - mover advantage and deep industry accumulation, it has established an initial barrier in the market. Against the backdrop of "AI redefining workflows", solutions like this, which are based on practical experience and aim to improve efficiency, are showing unique market potential and development space.
