Find and RSVP to relevant events
RSVP to relevant events without filling out another form yourself, if you tell your assistant what counts as relevant to you.
What you can get

- After: spot-check that a couple of RSVPs actually registered with the organizer.
-
You approve
- Approval for any RSVP that needs more than your name and email
- A say over what counts as a relevant event before RSVPs go out

Works when
- You're choosing from many sessions during a busy event week and don't want to read every one.
- RSVPs are simple forms, not multi-step registrations.
- You can tell it what 'relevant' means for you in a sentence or two.
Does not work when
- The event needs an application, approval, or payment beyond a basic RSVP.
- You need every RSVP guaranteed to register; this hasn't been independently verified.
- Relevance depends on nuance (who else is attending, timing conflicts) that's hard to state as a rule.
RSVP to relevant events: review template
| Event | Reason it qualified | RSVP status |

| [Event name] | [Why it matched] | [Submitted] |
| [Event name] | [Why it matched] | [Confirmed] |
| [Event name] | [Flagged for you] | [Needs more info] |
The source case
On X, @rebekaflows says that during SF Tech Week they were mainly looking forward to seeing which sessions Instinct judged relevant and RSVP'd to on their behalf, adding that skipping the forms themselves felt like a small, forgotten joy. The post does not name the events, the criteria used to judge relevance, or how many RSVPs went through; nothing here has been run by this directory.

Editorial rewrites of the brief above, for a different emphasis. Copy them separately.
What you need
Editorial, not from the source
You supply
- The event list or schedule source
- What counts as relevant to you
- Any details the RSVP form needs that aren't a simple name and email
Connected
- Wherever the event schedule lives (site, calendar, email)
- A way to submit the RSVP, if it's doing that step
How to try it
Editorial, not from the source
- Give it the event list or source you want checked, plus the interests, role or topics that make a session relevant to you.
- Ask for a shortlist with the reason each event qualified, before anything gets submitted.
- Set the boundary for what it can submit on its own versus what needs your name, email or payment details.
- Check the first few RSVPs landed where you expected, since a missed or duplicate signup is easy to miss in a busy week.
Say what counts as relevant before it starts
A busy event week produces more sessions than anyone can read, which is exactly why the shortlist step matters. Relevance is not self-evident: give it your role, your interests, the kind of session you'd walk out of, and an example of something you'd skip even if it looked good on paper. The post behind this page describes exactly that situation, during SF Tech Week, where the appeal was finding out which sessions were judged worth attending rather than reading a full schedule yourself. Treat the first list as a draft, not a verdict. Ask for the reason behind each pick, because a shortlist without stated reasons is hard to check and easy to rubber-stamp without noticing a bad match. The clearer the relevance rule you give it, the less you'll need to review afterward, and the fewer surprises show up on your calendar.
Decide what it can submit without asking
An RSVP form can be a single click or a multi-field registration asking for a company name, dietary needs, or a badge photo, and the right boundary depends on which one you're actually facing. Agree upfront on what it can fill in using only your name and email, and what needs to come back to you first. This matters more than it sounds: a wrong guess at a dietary preference or a title on a public attendee list isn't something you want discovered after the fact, once it can't be undone. The source post doesn't say what details these RSVPs required or whether any needed extra information beyond the basics, so treat the simple case as the proven one and the complicated case as unverified until you've watched it handle one yourself.
Confirm the RSVPs actually landed
A submitted form and a confirmed registration are not the same thing, and a busy event week is exactly where that gap goes unnoticed until you're turned away at the door for an event you thought you'd secured. Ask for a record of each RSVP, a confirmation email or a screenshot, something you can check without re-visiting every event page yourself one by one. Spot-check a few early on, especially any event you actually care about attending in person. The underlying post reports the feeling of relief at skipping the forms, not a count of successful registrations, so that confirmation step is yours to add on top of it. Once you've seen a handful go through cleanly, the rest of a busy week gets easier to leave alone.

Limits and confirmation points
- The source is one short post. It doesn't say how 'relevant' was defined, how many events were checked, or whether any RSVP failed silently.
- Event RSVP forms vary a lot: some are a single click, others ask for a company, dietary needs or a badge photo that this workflow can't supply on its own.
- A relevance judgment is a guess at your preferences, not a guarantee; it can RSVP you to something you'd have skipped, or miss something you'd have wanted.
- This directory has not verified that RSVPs submitted this way reliably register with the event organizer.
Editorial, not from the source
- Before it starts: agree what 'relevant' means and what it can submit without asking.
- On the first batch: check the shortlist and reasons before RSVPs go out.
- After: spot-check that a couple of RSVPs actually registered with the organizer.
Editorial, not from the source
- It RSVPs to something you wouldn't have picked
- Tighten the relevance criteria with a concrete example of a near-miss, and ask it to hold borderline cases for your approval instead of deciding alone.
- A form needs details it doesn't have
- Give it the extra fields upfront (company, dietary needs, etc.) or have it flag that RSVP for you to finish by hand.
- You can't tell if an RSVP actually went through
- Ask it to save a confirmation screenshot or email for each one, since a submitted form isn't the same as a confirmed registration.
Common questions
How does it decide which events are relevant?
You tell it. Give it your role, interests, and an example of a near-miss, and ask for the reason behind each pick before anything is submitted. The source post doesn't describe the relevance rule used, so this is the part you set yourself.
Can it fill out any RSVP form?
Only what you've authorized. A single-click RSVP is a different task from one asking for a company, dietary needs, or a badge photo. Agree on the boundary first and have it flag anything beyond your name and email.
Does it guarantee the RSVP registered?
No. A submitted form and a confirmed registration aren't the same thing, and this directory hasn't verified that RSVPs made this way register reliably. Ask for a confirmation record and spot-check a few.
What if it RSVPs me to something I wouldn't pick?
Tighten the relevance rule with a concrete example, and have it hold borderline events for your approval instead of deciding on its own.
Is this only useful during a conference week?
The source describes a conference week, but the same shortlist-then-RSVP pattern works for any period with more events than you want to read about one by one.
