CHI is a unified operating system for events that bridges physical interactions with digital systems. It replaces fragmented event infrastructure — outdated ticketing, disconnected payment terminals, spreadsheet crew ops — with one connected platform for tickets, payments, visitor engagement, crew operations, stakeholders, VIP, coupons, and analytics. More than a platform, CHI is an ecosystem: the finance and access backbone layer of live events, where every payment, ticket, and permission flows through one intelligent core.
No hardware lock-in. Any phone or tablet becomes a point of sale, a ticket scanner, or a crew terminal. Setup takes under 15 minutes, and the same stack scales from a 10-person pop-up to a 100,000+ attendee festival. And it's fully white-label: the entire experience ships under the organizer's own brand — app, tickets, payments, and all.
Events shape the world. Many of the most significant shifts in society and innovation trace back to a single moment — an event. Woodstock shaped generations. Burning Man's ethos shaped Silicon Valley. Events don't just reflect culture — they create it. Yet the technology behind them has barely evolved: fragmented tools, outdated ticketing, and zero intelligence.
That's why we built CHI. We combine artificial intelligence and blockchain to orchestrate perfect experiences — solving the trilemma of security, speed, and scale. Read our story →
AI-Native Intelligence — AI across every internal and external process, from predictive crowd management to personalized attendee experiences
Security by Design — fraud-proof ticketing and verifiable proof of attendance, cryptographically secured and instantly verifiable
Seamless Ecosystem — organizers, partners, and visitors on one platform. No data silos, just pure flow
Modular, plug-and-play solutions for every aspect of your event:
| Module | What it does |
|---|---|
| Smart, secure event tickets — marketplace, transfers, digital twins, referrals, and analytics | |
| Cashless payments over QR, NFC & Tap to Pay — orchestrated across multiple PSPs, with split payments between parties, digital token wallets, top-ups, refunds, live revenue tracking, and settlement controls | |
| One mobile experience for visitors and crew — tickets, wallet, QR/NFC, and event info. iOS · Android · PWA | |
| The event command center — event creation, crew management, revenue analytics, access control | |
| 360° visitor insights — attendee profiles, segmentation, and engagement tools | |
| Vendor, sponsor & partner portal with settlement management | |
| Premium tables, guest management, credits, and concierge-style event flows | |
| Programmable coupons — redeemable for products, bindable to tickets as upsells, plus promo codes, vouchers, and redemption analytics | |
| Earn your ticket back — referral and rewards tooling for attendees and promoters |
Everything is white-label ready — organizers ship a fully branded app experience without writing a line of code.
CHI isn't just an app, it's a platform. The same core that powers our own 100+ AI agents is what you integrate with:
| Surface | What you get |
|---|---|
| The full platform — tickets, payments, CRM, analytics — behind one API gateway | |
| Typed clients generated straight from the API — what our own web & mobile apps run on | |
| Event operations from your terminal, CI, or agents like Hermes and OpenClaw | |
| Plug CHI into Claude, agents, and any MCP-compatible tooling — the event OS as a toolset | |
| Machine-readable public context at /llms.txt & /llms-full.txt — AI-agent friendly by design |

CHI is the autonomous event-technology company: a small, highly skilled human team directing 100+ AI agents that are embedded in our workflow — from code to ops. Every team member works alongside them to move faster and build smarter.
No rigid roles, no job titles — everyone brings their expertise across product, engineering, design, and strategy. We believe lean teams with the right leverage can outpace companies ten times their size, and our work touches millions of event-goers competing with — and beating — companies 10× our size.
Born in Rotterdam, where Dutch event culture meets a world-class tech sector. Our innovation & AI lab lives in Bali, the epicenter of Asia's live-events scene.
Built by engineers (human and AI) who like their systems the way they like their festivals: high-throughput, fault-tolerant, and still standing at 4 AM. We build on open source wherever possible — battle-tested infrastructure over black boxes.

Platform & data
Infra & observability
- Event-driven core — payments, ticketing, and analytics react to the same real-time stream
- AI-native pipeline — RAG agents for product creation, AI-simulated event testing, agents embedded from code to ops
- AI workforce — 100+ autonomous agents run the backlog in continuous loops: pick up an issue, spin up an isolated workspace, ship, repeat — coordinating through a shared brain of docs, decisions, and learnings
- Offline-tolerant ticketing — gates keep scanning when festival Wi-Fi doesn't
- Simulated festivals — every release is rehearsed end to end: AI-generated event scenarios drive fleets of visitor, crew, and organizer apps through real ticket, payment, and settlement flows before the doors ever open (Playwright & Detox)
- Full observability — metrics, logs, and traces on every transaction
- Ship fast, ship safe — automated release pipelines with staged promotion from test → staging → production
Our product source lives in private repositories. Want to see the inside? There's a door for that. →
We treat AI agents as full members of the crew — now we're hiring more humans to direct them. Small team, outsized impact, no job titles, real ownership. Engineering, AI, product, and event-success roles across our hubs.
