Using AI to Generate a Timeline

Don't want to add items one by one? Describe your event and let AI do the heavy lifting.

How it works

Go to the AI timeline generator or click "Describe Your Event" in the editor. You'll see a text box where you can describe your event in plain English.

Write something like:

"Outdoor garden wedding for 150 guests. Ceremony at 4pm, cocktail hour, dinner, speeches, first dance, and dancing until 11pm. We have a DJ, not a band. There's a sunset photo session planned."

The more detail you give, the better the result. Include:

  • Type of event
  • Number of guests
  • Start and end times
  • Key moments you definitely want included
  • Any vendors or specific activities

What you get back

AI generates a complete timeline with realistic times, task names, and descriptions. A typical wedding might produce 15-25 items. A corporate event might produce 10-15.

The result lands directly in the editor. Every item is editable — change times, rename tasks, delete things that don't apply, add things that were missed.

Tips for better results

  • Be specific about timing — "ceremony at 4pm" gives better results than "afternoon ceremony"
  • Mention your venue — indoor vs outdoor affects the schedule (setup times, weather buffers)
  • Include transition times — if you know guests need to move between spaces, mention it
  • Don't worry about perfection — it's a starting point, not the final product

What's next

Now that you have a timeline full of items, customize how it looks with themes and layouts.
