The answer in your event documents, without the document hunt.
Ask a File makes event information easier to retrieve from the source material you already have.
Upload event files and find the information buried inside them.
| file | kind | state |
|---|---|---|
| sponsor-vt-final.mp4 | video | read |
| artist-rider-2026.pdf | document | read |
| keynote-v7.pptx | deck | analysed |
| floorplan-l0.pdf | document | queued |
The answer is almost always already written down. It is on page nine of a rider, in an email chain, or on a slide nobody has opened since March.
Upload event files and explore them. Riders, decks, schedules, briefs and production notes.
The material stays useful throughout planning and delivery rather than being read once and filed.
- ✓Upload and explore event files
- ✓Keep source material useful throughout
- ✓Everything attached to the event it belongs to
Find timings, sessions, speakers and production detail faster.
What time does Amara go on and which room. What did the rider say about the piano. Which version of the deck has the new numbers.
- ✓Timings, presenters and sessions
- ✓Production notes and requirements
- ✓Answers you can trace back to the source
Reduce repeated manual searching. Especially the fourth time somebody asks the same question.
The answer carries its source, so it can be checked rather than trusted — which matters when the consequence is a person walking on stage at the wrong time.
- ✓Every answer cites the file it came from
- ✓Ask again without re-reading
- ✓Shared with the team, not stuck in one inbox

Reading is the slow part. The structure is the point.
Answers first
Get the fact you need now, without turning the whole document into structure.
Structure when you want it
When the file is worth importing, Event Brain turns it into sessions, speakers and timings.
Always checkable
Nothing is asserted without pointing at where it came from.
The formats events actually use.
Slides and keynotes
The draft programme is on slides 12 to 19 more often than anyone admits.
Spreadsheets
Forty tabs, inconsistent headers, merged cells. Still where the truth lives.
Riders and briefs
Long documents with one line that matters, usually near the end.
Somebody already wrote down what time she goes on.
It is on page nine of a rider, or slide fourteen of a deck nobody has opened since March. Ask the documents instead of reading them again.
Plan your branded event →Ask the pile instead of reading it.
Upload the files you already have and get the timing, session or note you need.
