No App, No Hassle: How SAM Boosted Conference Engagement with Just a Text

SAM, the AI-powered event assistant built to make conferences simpler, friendlier, and more efficient, made a powerful return to Seed the South 2025—and proved something big: when AI just works, people use it.

🚀 The Results: Real Engagement, Real Fast

In just 1.5 days:

📈 3x more attendee engagement

💬 3,000+ real text messages processed

🌟 4.8-star user rating from actual users

SAM helped attendees find sessions, speakers, food spots, and even each other, using nothing more than natural text-based interaction.

No app. No downloads. No learning curve.

😬 That Conference App Though…

That Conference App Though

An unofficial poll at the event revealed that 98% of attendees found the official app's onboarding "unpleasant."

Meanwhile, SAM, the AI assistant for events, needed just a phone number. There were no installs or hassles—attendees were using it in seconds.

"I didn't touch the app. I just asked SAM everything."

"SAM, where's the AI crowd hanging out at the afterparty?" — got the answer instantly.

Someone even messaged SAM at 3 a.m. asking for the agenda—and got it. (We're still wondering why they were up that early…)
