Step 2 — Create Your First Event

Four real ways to go from idea to a draft event

Pick the path that fits you

Every path lands you in the same place — an editable event draft. If you connected your AI in step 1, the fastest route is simply to ask it. Otherwise, the manual quick form takes about 30 seconds.

Path 1 — Ask your AI (MCP)

From your connected Claude or ChatGPT, just describe the event. For example:

Create and publish my AI conference in Bengaluru on March 15

This calls webmobi_create_event. Want a reference to clone? Ask for webmobi_get_demo_event to see a fully built example event.

Path 2 — 3-field quick form

Go to /dashboard/create/quick and fill in just three fields:

  • Event name
  • Start date & time (end time defaults to +2 hours)
  • Location

It saves a draft (free, in-person, conference defaults) and drops you into the editor at /dashboard/create?eventId=….

Free tier: 2 events/month, unlimited attendees.

Path 3 — Excel / CSV agentic import

At /dashboard/create/agentic, upload a spreadsheet — the AI parses it, asks a few clarification questions, then creates the event.

Access is gated by an onboarding qualification check; if you're not yet qualified, you'll see a request-access screen with a "Watch How It Works" demo.

Path 4 — AI chat builder (Enterprise/BYOK)

/dashboard/create offers an AI chat with live preview. On Enterprise/BYOK plans this shows the chat directly. On every other plan it shows the "Build your event with Claude or ChatGPT" MCP call-to-action that routes you to /mcp/connect (Path 1) or the quick form (Path 2).

Before it can go live

In-person events require a venue before they can be published. You can add that now or when you reach the publish step.
