👋 Hi Product Hunt, and thank you @garrytanfor hunting us 🚀


I’m Vincent, Co-founder & CTO of TeamOut AI.

TeamOut was founded in 2021 because of a problem we experienced ourselves: corporate event planning is one of the most painful tasks in companies. Budgets, flights, venues, AV, availability, trade-offs… and endless back-and-forth. It’s repetitive, highly conversational, slow, and incredibly fastidious.


In other words: it was always meant for AI.

Before TeamOut, I worked as an AI researcher at IBM, focusing on natural language processing and recommendation systems, and authored scientific papers in applied AI.

For years, we knew this category wanted an AI copilot but the technology simply wasn’t ready. Filters and forms can’t reason. Early AI couldn’t hold real planning conversations.

Now it can!

We’re finally at the intersection of market ready + technology ready.

And that unlocked what the event planning world had been waiting for.

We built the Lovable of Event Planning, because that’s the revolution this category needed. Not another marketplace. Not better filters. A product you talk to, that understands constraints, asks the right questions, and adapts as plans evolve.


TeamOut AI is the first AI copilot for corporate event planning.

You plan by talking:

  • Compare destinations

  • Estimate full event & flight budgets

  • Check meeting space, AV, and constraints

  • Get instant recommendations from vetted venues where real teams have stayed

Under the hood, it’s a fully custom interface powered by a multi-agent AI system, combining conversational reasoning, recommendation models, and real operational data.

What makes TeamOut AI different:

  • Conversational planning instead of filters

  • Instant, contextual recommendations

  • Quotes in under 24 hours

  • Built-in budget & flight estimators

  • Preferred rates up to 30% below public pricing

The technology is finally ready, and we finally built what the event planning world has been asking for.


Would love your feedback. Try it, push it, ask it hard questions. 🚀

Thanks for checking it out 🙏

@garrytan  @vincalbouy Congrats on the launch! Can the copilot adapt mid-conversation when priorities change? Interesting to test this one. 👀

@garrytan  @npmitaart  Yes the AI is fully adaptive. You can change priorities or direction mid-conversation, and it will re-reason through the constraints in real time instead of starting over.

Thanks so much for the support — excited for you to try it 🚀

@garrytan  @vincalbouy Event planning is all constraints and conversations, not filters.

Talking your way through destinations, budgets, and trade-offs feels like the right UX for this category. The timing argument also lands. This was always an AI problem, just not solvable until now.

I see the same shift while building Curatora. When AI can reason and adapt instead of just retrieve options, whole workflows unlock. Excited to see teams actually stress-test this with real planning chaos.

@imtiyazmohammed Well said, that framing really resonates. Event planning is fundamentally about constraints, trade-offs, and ongoing conversations, not static filters. That’s exactly the gap we wanted to address with a more conversational, reasoning-driven approach.

Totally agree on the timing as well. This problem has existed for years, but it only becomes solvable once AI can actually reason, adapt, and keep context instead of just returning lists. That’s when workflows start to unlock.

Excited to see how teams stress-test this in real planning chaos too — and likewise curious to follow what you’re building with Curatora. Appreciate you sharing this perspective

@garrytan  @vincalbouy if there are any constraints like budget, team size and location do I just mention that in my prompt or the app is restricted to recommending locations within a specific geo location / country already?

An Ne
@npmitaart That’s an interesting edge case. In practice, priority shifts are usually less about starting over and more about re-weighting constraints as new information shows up. Tools that can surface those trade-offs mid-flow tend to feel much more natural than ones that force a reset.

Love this,planning offsites finally feels effortless. So… do I still need to pack my own suitcase or is that coming in v2? 😄

@mees_schiks V2 will definitely help you to choose the right color of swimsuit for your next retreat in Tulum 🏖️

@mees_schiks it ever gets to packing suitcases, that’s when we know the AI has gone too far 😄 Jokes aside, removing the mental load around planning is already a big win logistics fade into the background so the experience actually matters.

Hey everyone 👋

I'm Julien, part of the TeamOut team and one of the engineers behind TeamOut AI.

We built this new product to make it much easier for teams to discover the right venues for their events. This launch is just a first step, and we're excited to learn from your feedback.

Happy to answer any questions 🙌

Vincent Albouy

@lildesert Super proud of what we achieved here, Julien. This launch is the result of an impressive level of commitment and dedication over many months, and it really shows in the final product.

What stands out most is how well you navigated a constantly evolving AI landscape while staying grounded in real product constraints. On top of that, your strong sense of UI and UX ensured the experience stayed clear, intuitive, and genuinely useful, not just technically impressive.

The speed of execution, the quality bar you maintained, and your ability to adapt and iterate quickly made a huge difference. Thanks for pushing this forward with so much ownership and care. Excited to see where you take this next 🙌🚀

Congrats on the launch! Love how TeamOut makes “Airbnb for retreats” actually real—large, WiFi-ready spaces plus streamlined planning so teams can focus on connection instead of logistics.​

@zeiki_yu  Thanks so much, Zeiki — really appreciate that 🙏
That’s exactly what we’re aiming for: making team retreats feel effortless, so teams can focus on connection instead of logistics.
The “Airbnb for retreats” idea was the starting point, and the AI copilot is what finally makes it work end-to-end. Thanks for the support! 🚀

Zahran Dabbagh
Congrats on the launch 👍 Nice idea and, indeed, it is innovative with the search/chat interface where users can provide input in plain English. As a feedback, since the app is so powerful and I almost had a similar idea, I believe that the app should use geolocation. Another aspect is: what if the user doesn’t really know where to head or what event theme they want. I believe the app could benefit from inspirational listings or at least a choice provided in the chat interface. This is just my perspective, but of course you know your product better

@zahran_dabbagh Thank you so much for this it really means a lot !
This journey has been a constant balance between moving fast, adapting to rapidly evolving AI tech, and staying focused on building something genuinely useful for teams. Hearing that the UI, UX, and overall product direction resonate makes all the effort worthwhile.

I’m grateful for the trust, the support, and the opportunity to build this together. This launch is just the beginning, and I’m excited to keep iterating and pushing the product forward .

Roma Bors

This is genius for teams. I dig the idea.

Thibaut Morla

@deduxer Thanks so much Roma! Love what you're building at Accordio AI btw, happy to chat about team retreats anytime!

@thibaut_morla1 Thanks man! TeamOut looks sick btw... planning a team retreat to Amsterdam later this year, might actually need this. Will reach out 👀

Hey PH, I am Thomas, the other co-founder of TeamOut. Today is a bit of an emotional moment for us because it marks the culmination of four years of hard work.

TeamOut started as just an Airtable list of top hotels in California. That was our v0.1 back in 2021. From there, we kept iterating by building and gathering feedback from companies like Reddit, OpenAI, Netflix, and more. Today, seeing what this relatively small team has been able to put together, and the level of quality we reached, honestly made me tear up a little.

It is truly incredible what a small team can achieve when they find the right tools and push hard in the same direction. What a day.

Thank you to everyone who gave our product a chance and helped us make it better every day.

@thomas_mazimann2 This one really hits. Seeing how far we’ve come from those early days is wild. Immensely proud of the team and grateful to everyone who trusted us along the way. From an Airtable list to what we launched today the journey has been unreal
