Deliberately not Module 13. AI in Rostrum is a capability of the platform — enabled per organization, absent when off, and bound everywhere by the same contract: it proposes, staff review, nothing is written until it is applied.
Why it is not a module
Modules change what an event collects, publishes or runs. AI assistance changes none of that — it accelerates the staff work the platform already does, which is why it has no entry in the dependency matrix and no switch on the Products tab. Your administrator enables it for the organization; every surface below then appears where it is useful and nowhere else. When it is off, nothing is grayed out or advertised — the surfaces are simply absent, and every module in this catalog works exactly as described.
Where it appears
Guided setup reads your website
The event-creation interview can read your event's public site and pre-fill the name, dates, venue and topics it finds — each presented for confirmation, and the venue matched against your catalog only when the name genuinely matches.
The Program builder
A conversation on the agenda: describe the program you want, answer the assistant's clarifying questions, and review a complete proposed schedule — rooms, sessions, days, times — before creating any of it. It can also work from a past year's program, read from its website or pasted in.
Session suggestions
Groups unplaced presentations by topic and proposes named sessions to hold them, reading titles and abstracts only — never author names or emails.
The contract
- Propose, review, apply. Every AI output is shown in full before anything is created; entries that fail validation are dropped and counted visibly.
- Staff permissions apply unchanged. Applying a proposal uses the same permission-checked actions as doing it by hand.
- No delegate-facing AI. Attendees, submitters and reviewers never interact with an AI surface.
- Budgeted. Each organization carries a monthly usage budget; at the cap, AI features rest until the next month and say so.
Nothing on the event. AI assistance is enabled per organization by an administrator; the surfaces above then follow the permissions of the pages they live on.
