A Step-by-Step Guide

More people are leaning into in-person events. But events mean a LOT of repetitive work: outreach emails, run-of-show docs, social posts, venue research, budget tracking, etc.

So I built an AI assistant that generates the entire event ops package from a single brief.

🛠 What I used:

• Claude Skill (Custom SKILL.md, this is the brain)
• Claude Artifact (React app, a testable and shareable version)
• Claude Code (version on Git: https://github.com/silviacarasel/Event-in-a-Box)
• Integrations: Notion MCP (saving plans), Web Search (venue research), and sometimes Canva MCP (visuals)

🚀 How I Built It

1. Start with the problem, not the code

I opened a Claude chat and started thinking out loud.

The first topic was: What does an event planner actually need? What would I actually use?

I listed 3 different versions of the idea, from simple to complex.
