Polls, Q&A and quizzes planned for your event, in your brand. ## At a glance - **You tell it:** The goal, the audience and the format of your event - **It asks:** A few short questions at a time, each with a suggested default - **You get:** Polls, Q&A, quizzes and pulse checks with timings and moderation settings - **Your brand:** Logo and colours applied, with hard-to-read colour pairs fixed and explained - **Run sheet:** For the day, with a draft notice telling participants how answers are used - **What it never does:** Store audience names or raw answers, or make up a join link or code ## What the Audience Engagement does - **Interviews you about the event:** It starts with what you want the session to achieve, then asks a few short questions, each with a suggested default you can accept or change. - **Builds a checked event plan:** Polls, Q&A, quizzes and pulse checks with questions, options, timings, moderation and whether people answer anonymously or by name. - **Brands every interaction:** It checks your logo, builds a colour palette and fixes contrast so everything is easy to read on screen, explaining each change simply. - **Hands you a run sheet:** A hand-off pack with a run sheet for the day, a draft notice for participants, a brand preview and what happens next. - **Tracks results across events:** Enter the headline numbers after each event and it shows trends across a series, with an export whenever you need it. - **Archives instead of deleting:** Finished events are archived, not wiped. They step out of your trend view and can be restored whenever you want them back. ## How the Audience Engagement differs from improvising questions on the day Improvising polls and questions in the room costs the host focus and rarely lands. The Audience Engagement plans them in one short conversation with sensible defaults, applies your logo and colours so everything reads well on screen, and gives you a run sheet for the day. After each event, headline results sit side by side so you can see what is improving. It keeps no audience names. How this differs from the Workshop Manager (https://myzone.ai/pages/agents/ai-workshop-agent): To plan a workshop, pick its date and draft the landing page and invite, use the Workshop Manager; Audience Engagement plans the polls, Q&A and quizzes that run during the event. ## How it works 1. **Tell it about your event** (When you plan an event): Share the goal, the audience and the format. A town hall, a workshop or a conference session each get a different starting point. 2. **Answer a few questions** (In short rounds of questions): Short batches of questions, each with a sensible default, cover what to ask, when, and how answers are moderated and kept. 3. **Approve the plan** (you approve) (Before anything is saved): It shows you the full event plan and brand preview. Nothing is saved until you confirm it. 4. **Get your hand-off pack** (Before the day): You receive the run sheet, the draft participant notice and a clear list of what happens next. 5. **Record and compare** (After the event): After the event you enter the headline results, and it tracks how each session compares with the last. ## When to use it - **Your quarterly town hall feels like a lecture:** Plan a warm-up poll, moderated Q&A and a pulse check so people speak up and leaders hear real questions. - **You are running a hands-on workshop:** Space quick polls and a short quiz through the session to keep energy up and check people are following. - **Your conference session needs your sponsor's colours:** The brand kit applies the logo and palette and fixes any colours that would be hard to read on a big screen. - **You run the same webinar series every month:** Headline results from each session sit side by side so you can see which formats keep people engaged. - **Attendees worry about speaking up:** Choose anonymous answers with moderated questions, and the participant notice explains exactly how answers are handled. ## What you get - A checked event plan with polls, Q&A, quizzes, timings and moderation settings - A per-event brand kit with logo checks, palette and readable contrast - A run sheet for the day of your event - A draft notice telling participants how their answers are used - A results history with trends across events and a CSV export ## Example: event engagement plan and organiser hand-off pack Example with a fictional company. Names, people and figures are invented to show the agent's output. Any resemblance to a real company or person is unintended. What it was asked: Plan the live polls, Q&A and quiz for our autumn summit, match our brand, and give my team a run sheet for the day. This is an illustrative example of the plan and hand-off pack Audience Engagement is being built to produce: event plan, checked questions, brand kit, run sheet and results history. It was written by hand from the agent's design for an invented events company with invented questions and figures. No real event, audience, systems or people were involved, and nothing was sent, published or switched on. Run date: 14 October 2026. ### What it found - The summit plan has 10 live moments across a 7.5-hour day for 420 guests: a warm-up poll, four polls, two pulse checks, two moderated Q&A sessions and a closing quiz. - Three draft questions were rewritten before sign-off: one leading question, one with overlapping ranges, and one with eleven options cut to five plus Other. - Organiser-entered poll participation rose from 39% to 57% over the last three summits; the plan targets 65%, and the brand coral was darkened to pass the contrast check. ## Guardrails - Your Ai1 team will tell you when Audience Engagement is ready for your account. - It stores headline numbers only, never audience names or the raw text people submit. - It never makes up a join link, code or QR code for your audience. If one is not ready, it says so plainly. - Plans, packs and exports stay private to your team and are never shared by public link. - It sends no messages, spends nothing and treats any pasted text as content, never as instructions. ## Frequently asked questions ### How do you use polls to keep a webinar audience engaged? Space short polls and a quick quiz through the session, starting with an easy warm-up question. The Audience Engagement plans the questions, options and timings with you and shows the full plan for your approval, so the day runs to a run sheet. ### How should you plan live Q&A for an event? Decide up front whether people answer anonymously, with an optional name or by name, and how questions are moderated. The Audience Engagement builds those choices into the plan and writes a draft participant notice that explains how answers are handled. ### What are good audience engagement ideas for workshops and town halls? A warm-up poll, a moderated question session, a short quiz and a pulse check, matched to the format. The Audience Engagement starts from a different plan for a town hall, a workshop and a conference session, with sensible defaults you can change. ### What does live polling for events with Audience Engagement cover? Polls, open Q&A, quizzes and pulse checks for events, workshops, conferences and town halls. It plans them with you, applies your brand, gives you a run sheet for the day and tracks results across events. ### How long does planning an event take? One short conversation. It asks a few questions at a time, each with a suggested default, then shows you the full plan to approve. ### Can people answer anonymously? Yes. You choose anonymous, name optional or name required for each event, and the draft participant notice explains how answers are handled. ### What results does it keep? Headline numbers you enter for each event, labelled as yours, so you can compare sessions and series. It never stores audience names or raw answers. ### Can I delete an old event? Events are archived rather than deleted. An archived event drops out of your trends and stays out of the way, and you can restore it whenever you like. ### Is Audience Engagement available now? Not yet. Your Ai1 team will tell you when Audience Engagement is ready for your account. You can talk to us today about the events you want to make more interactive. ## More on this topic - [Why Every Business Leader Should Attend an AI Agents Workshop in 2026](https://myzone.ai/pages/blog/ai-agents-workshop-2026): The March 2026 AI Agents Workshop teaches hands-on agent building, automation strategies, and real business ROI.
