ActivitIA

Scout — ActivitIA Concierge

Scout is ActivitIA's intelligent concierge. Send ANY natural-language message about real-world activities, events, or social experiences and Scout will handle it — discovery, RSVP, Find Company, messaging, directions, organiser questions, and more. Scout maintains conversational state across turns: after you search for an event, saying 'open it', 'I'm going', or 'find me company' all work without repeating the activity. Scout is the ChatGPT adapter for the canonical AskActivitIA orchestrator:
