Networking inside a community
Who works where, who does the same job, who studies the same subject, who is hiring, who just arrived. The questions people ask at a congress coffee break, in the first week of a new job, in the first class of a course.
Networking platform for events, companies and communities
Everyone is in the same place. Now see who.
A congress, a company, a trade show or a course puts hundreds of people in the same place, and they still find each other by chance, by a name badge or through a group chat. Community Lab draws the community as a live map grouped by what matters to it, tells each person who to talk to and why, and gives the organizer adoption numbers and a monthly bulletin, before, during and after the event.
Illustrative data. The scenes play on their own.
01 The work
Gathering people is the easy part. Getting the right ones to meet is the work.
A congress sells the hallway as much as the talks. A company hires and hopes the new people find their own. A course promises a network. In every case, the meeting between the two right people is left to luck.
A badge, a group chat and a spreadsheet
The event app shows the agenda and is forgotten after day one. The attendee list is a PDF. The group chat carries everything at once. The organizer still tracks registrations in a spreadsheet and still writes the recap by hand.
People share a place and never find each other
The right person is two tables away and nobody knows. The good contact sinks in the thread. The organizer cannot show who took part or who connected, and the community goes quiet the week after.
A live map, suggestions and a console
Everyone on a live map grouped by what matters to that community, five suggestions each with the reason, opportunities and a shared wall, medals, and a console with adoption by stage and the monthly bulletin.
Every community already has the people. What it lacks is the map.
02 What it answers
The questions people ask when they arrive, and the one the organizer asks at the end of the month.
Each area of the platform exists because someone asked the question out loud.
"Who here works in health, and who is from my city?"
Live maporganization, role, interest, city
Each person is a face. Faces gather by the criterion the community chose, the whole map regroups when you switch it, and a bigger bubble means a more complete profile. Hovering shows the profile card, a click opens the full profile.
"Who should I talk to first?"
Your Networkfive people, with the reason
The five profiles closest to yours, each with the reason in plain words, such as the interests you share. Select someone and the map draws lines to everyone who shares their organization or two interests.
"How do people get in without downloading another app?"
Access codee-mail and one shared code
The organizer shares one access code for the community. Each person types an e-mail and the code, and the same form creates the account. A six-digit code by e-mail is the alternative. It runs in the browser and installs on a phone like an app.
"How do we keep people coming back after day one?"
Medals and the Break8 medals, weekly and opt-in
Points for showing up, sharing and connecting, eight hand-drawn medals, and a weekly ranking only for those who opt in. It resets every Monday, so nobody carries a permanent position.
"Where do the job posting, the talk slides and the good article go?"
Opportunities and Walljobs, projects, partnerships, talks, papers
Opportunities keeps jobs, freelance work, projects and partnerships with a deadline and the name of whoever opened the door. The Wall keeps talks, papers, classes and articles with a short summary marked as AI generated and three reactions: useful, want to read, thanks.
"What do I show the sponsor or the board at the end of the month?"
Console and bulletinadoption by stage, every month
Adoption for each group by stage, from the first step to active this week, and a monthly bulletin with who arrived, which groups grew, what was read most and the medals granted, plus a text ready for the group chat.
03 Method
From the guest list to a live map in six steps.
Each community is configured by the Cassi.ai team: which criteria the map groups by, what each group is called, how many editions or classes run at the same time. The organizer keeps the keys, and every person keeps control of their own profile.
- 01
Configure the community
We define the criteria and their names with you: track and organization for a congress, area and office for a company, exhibitor and visitor for a trade show, class for a course.
Each edition, class or area can have its own map and its own code.
- 02
Share the code
The access code goes in the invitation, on a slide at the opening or in the group chat. Only people from the community have it.
Repeated wrong attempts lock the entry for 15 minutes.
- 03
Five fields
Name, city, organization or area, current role, and a photo or an illustrated avatar. About two minutes on a phone, and the rest can wait.
Nobody appears on the map before accepting the privacy policy.
- 04
The profile in steps
Interests, what I am looking for, what I offer, LinkedIn and a short bio each add to the profile, to the points and to the size of the bubble on the map.
Every optional field has its own visibility switch.
- 05
The community runs
Suggestions, Opportunities, the Wall, medals and the weekly Break keep people moving before, during and after the event.
Content publishes at once. Only reported content is removed, with the reason.
- 06
Report the month
On the first day of each month a bulletin is generated for each group, with a page on the platform and a text ready for the group chat.
Every organizer action goes to an audit log.
04 How it works
The rules the platform runs on.
Each number below is a rule written into the product. None of them is a promise about how many people will connect.
5fields to appear on the map
5people suggested to each person, with the reason
8hand-drawn medals, from basic profile to mentor
24 hto erase profile, photo, points and medals when someone leaves
What it never does
- Never imports photos or profiles from WhatsApp, LinkedIn or the registration list. Each person adds their own.
- Never keeps a permanent public ranking. The weekly Break shows only those who chose to take part.
- Never sells, lends or crosses people's data with third parties, sponsors included.
- Never lets anyone edit someone else's profile, the organizer included.
- Never stores the messages of a group chat. An exported file is summarized and discarded.
Who it is for
- Congresses and conferences
- Companies: internal communities and new hires
- Events and trade shows
- Online and corporate courses
- Associations and professional networks
- Alumni and communities
For anything that gathers people and wants them to find each other. Corredor, the version for postgraduate and distance programs, runs on the same engine.
05 Questions
Questions and answers
What is Community Lab?
Community Lab is a Cassi.ai networking platform for anything that gathers people: congresses and conferences, companies, events and trade shows, courses, associations and alumni networks. It shows the community as a live map grouped by what matters to it, suggests who to talk to with the reason, and gives the organizer adoption numbers and a monthly bulletin. It grew out of Corredor, the version Cassi.ai built for an online postgraduate program.
How is it configured for a congress, a company or a trade show?
The engine is the same. The Cassi.ai team configures with you which criteria the map groups by and what each group is called: tracks and organizations for a congress, areas and offices for a company, exhibitors and visitors for a trade show, classes for a course, chapters for an association. Each edition, office or class can have its own map and its own access code, and the organizer sees one at a time or all together.
How do people get in?
With their e-mail and the community access code, which is the same for everyone and arrives with the invitation, from the organizer or in the group chat. The first time, the same form creates the account. A person can also ask for a six-digit code by e-mail, valid for ten minutes. There is nothing to download, and it can be installed on a phone like an app.
How does it decide who to suggest?
The text of each profile, such as interests, what the person looks for and what they offer, is turned into a list of numbers that places similar profiles close together. A model running on the platform's own server does this once a day. The five closest people appear in Your Network, each with the reason written out, such as the interests you share.
Who can see a person's data?
Only people of the community, after entering. Name, photo or avatar, organization or area and group are always visible inside it. Every other field has a visibility switch the person controls. Photos stay in private storage and are shown through short-lived links. Nothing is public on the internet.
Does it replace the event app, the intranet or the group chat?
None of them. The agenda stays in the event app, work stays in the intranet and conversation stays in the group chat. Community Lab covers what they do not show: who is who, what each person offers and who is worth talking to. It needs no integration to start.
What does the organizer see?
The console has communities, invites, the access code, reports from members, people, data export, bulletins, a summary of the group chat and an audit log. For each group it shows how many people finished step one, how many have a complete profile, how many added a photo and how many were active this week, plus the medals and reactions of the month.
What happens after the event?
The map stays. People keep updating their profile, posting opportunities and sharing on the Wall, new members join with the code, and on the first day of each month a bulletin sums up what happened, with a text of up to 800 characters for the group chat. Anyone who wants to leave erases profile, photo, points and medals with one button, within 24 hours.
