AI-Powered Event Discovery for Buenos Aires overview
A short overview of the problem, solution, and result.
Starting Point
Buenos Aires has a thriving nightlife and cultural scene, but event information is scattered across incompatible platforms: Instagram stories, Facebook events, Eventbrite, Passline, venue websites, and WhatsApp groups. There's no single source of truth, making it nearly impossible to discover what's happening tonight.What Shipped
Created a conversational discovery experience so users could ask for events in plain language instead of hunting across Instagram, ticketing sites, and venue feeds.Why It Mattered
Launched a working event discovery product with 1,600+ scheduled events across 1,500+ venues pulled into one searchable experience instead of forcing users to jump between sources.Summary
Buenos Aires event information is scattered across Instagram stories, Facebook events, Eventbrite, Passline, venue sites, and WhatsApp groups.
I built BA Eventos as a live discovery product that turns fragmented local data into a searchable experience with grounded AI answers.
About
The city has a dense cultural calendar, but the information lives across incompatible sources and changes constantly.
People do not search for events like database records. They ask for moods, neighborhoods, time windows, and social context.
Business Objective
The product needed to help people find real plans without forcing them to jump between social platforms, ticketing sites, and venue pages.
That required a data pipeline, an admin surface, and a retrieval layer that could answer natural questions without hallucinating dead-end recommendations.
Product Direction
Treat event discovery as a data-quality problem first.
The product could only feel useful if the underlying event and venue data was current, matched, and clean enough to search.
Use AI where intent matters.
Semantic search handled queries around vibe, neighborhood, and timing, while structured filters kept the answers grounded in real records.
Product Surface
The product is a working example of AI-assisted discovery over messy local data, not just a chat interface. Alongside plain-language search, the surface offers one-tap discovery — “Tonight”, “This Weekend”, and “Surprise me” — plus voice dictation, so finding a plan works the way people actually think about it.
The Work
Turned scattered sources into a usable event catalog.
The system ingests events, matches venues, enriches descriptions, and keeps the catalog organized enough to support real search.
Built discovery around plain-language intent.
Users can ask questions like romantic jazz in Palermo or underground techno this weekend while the product stays tied to real event records.
Added faster paths to a plan.
One-tap “Tonight” and “This Weekend” shortcuts and voice dictation let people skip the typing and land on a plan faster without leaving the grounded event catalog.
What Shipped
BA Eventos shipped as a live example of an AI product where the hard part is the operating system around the model: data ingestion, cleanup, retrieval, and a usable product surface.
Over 1,600 events moved into one searchable product.
The catalog holds 1,600+ scheduled events across 1,500+ venues, distilled from 9,000+ events ingested and enriched since launch.
AI search stayed tied to real event data.
Semantic search and structured filters helped answer intent-heavy questions without drifting into unsupported recommendations.
The catalog could be kept usable.
Admin and data-quality tooling supported venue matching, enrichment, and cleanup behind the public experience.
The build proved an AI discovery pattern.
Ingest, clean, enrich, embed, then answer with grounded results instead of shipping another empty chat box.
Getting to a plan is one tap or one sentence.
Voice dictation and the Tonight, This Weekend, and Surprise me shortcuts let people reach a grounded recommendation without typing a full query.
Product Screens
The product surface shows the grounded discovery experience built on top of the event and venue catalog.
