Sherlock is Swapcard’s Event Virtual AI Assistant. It provides conversational access to event information so attendees, exhibitors, and organizers can get answers, discover relevant content, and navigate events more efficiently.
Swapcard Sherlock supports three primary groups:
- Attendees who want faster discovery and personalized guidance
- Exhibitors who want higher‑quality leads and easier onsite operations
- Organizers who want to reduce repetitive support and streamline content tasks
Swapcard Sherlock is purpose‑built for events and native to Swapcard’s engagement ecosystem (recommendations, meeting generation, session content tools). It focuses on contextual, event‑ready answers rather than generic conversational responses.
Swapcard Sherlock provides a chat‑style interface embedded in the Swapcard app or on an event website. It can be extended to other messaging channels via integrations. Users ask questions in natural language and Swapcard Sherlock returns answers, links, or suggested next steps. Where actions would change event data, Swapcard Sherlock requests organizer approval. Beta channel availability may vary by event.
Swapcard Sherlock handles both factual and contextual queries, for example:
- “Who should I meet based on my interests?”
- “Which sessions fit my role?”
- “Where is Booth 457?”
- “What’s happening next nearby?”
- “Where’s registration? Are there restrooms nearby?”
Answers that rely on personal data or location follow event permissions and privacy settings.
Exhibitors can use Swapcard Sherlock to discover and prioritize leads, get guidance on event tools, find meeting spaces, and receive practical recommendations for onsite professionalism. When Swapcard Sherlock suggests content or updates to exhibitor records, those suggestions are surfaced for organizer review unless explicit write‑back is approved.
Swapcard Sherlock reduces repetitive support volume, helps generate or suggest content (session descriptions, categorizations), and assists with configuration troubleshooting. The assistant is intended to free teams from routine questions so they can focus on higher‑value tasks. Some automations are beta/roadmap items and may require configuration.
