Problem
Folkemødet is a Danish festival celebrating Democracy. With more than 200 venues and close to 3.200 events during three days it has by far the most extensive festival program in Denmark. The extensive program makes it difficult for users to find activities tailored to their interests and it's hard to navigate leaving users with a paradox of choice.
Solution
Halfspace, a Microsoft AI partner, used OpenAI's advanced APIs to develop a web app powered by large language models connected directly to Folkemødets event schedule, allowing users to interact with the program in a conversational manner. The app goes beyond keyword-based recommendations, by understanding context and user intent to deliver event suggestions on demand using generative AI.
Generative AI's contribution
Artificial Intelligence plays a significant role in all aspects of the app. From intelligent event search and filtering to generating a bespoke response. By employing state-of-the-art NLP techniques, the app can decipher the intent behind user input and extract pertinent information to offer relevant information in a natural way.
"Our personal experience revealed the difficulty in navigating the program and events. We seized the opportunity to employ Generative AI, creating a solution with broad benefits. It's a compelling showcase of how Generative AI genuinely enhances experiences for all."
