Not by tearing down the whole thing – we love the event sector too much for that. By clearing out a few floors of soul-sucking parts of your job to make room for the good stuff.
You’ll have more time to organize events that bring people together, and we can keep enjoying those events. Win-win.
Our origin story
What happens when you unite 4 former colleagues from Ghent with more than 10 years of experience in customer care, a real passion for technology, and an itch to help the event sector work smarter?
That’s how we – Anthony, Jared, Jeroen and Thibaut – got started. We initially worked together in a SaaS environment focused on digital customer service. First-rate experiences for clients have always been our baseline.
The same goes for events. Jeroen (who used to be a DJ) and Thibaut (who organized countless events with his youth movement) have first-hand experience. We were itching to shake up the sector with AI technology.
To scratch that itch, we experimented with LLMs (large language models) to develop venue management software: we built an AI-powered platform for a digital sidekick that takes over repetitive tasks, strengthens customer support, and frees event teams to focus on their guests.
These venues have already streamlined their venue management
AI-powered venue management software, LLMs, SaaS environments. Yes, we’re driven by technology.
But what truly gets our hearts racing: the personal connection that an event makes possible. We’re customer care nerds, after all. AI is a tool to improve an event experience, it can’t replace human input.
Made for event professionals
It’s your vision as an event professional that matters. Rookoo simply wants to make room for that.
What’s up with “Rookoo”?
Our Ghent-based start-up is named after the typical sound of a pigeon.
That’s right. A pigeon.
Did you know that pigeons work well together, like to experiment, and reliably execute precision work (think Project Pigeon)? And, of course, they’ve been efficient messengers for centuries.
Exactly what Rookoo’s aiming for with AI sidekicks for event organizations.
