What BuzzMaster is
BuzzMaster is a web-based live-event interaction service that turns attendees’ smartphones into tools for questions, answers, polls, icebreakers, and audience SWOT activities. Responses arrive in real time and can be displayed on screen. Its AI Sidekick works with the event host by asking audience questions, analyzing replies, sharing insights on stage, performing live fact-checking, and creating instant quizzes. BuzzMaster can identify patterns in responses and turn input into a summary, illustrated report, or song while the event is underway. The company presents the Sidekick as a co-host rather than a chatbot or replacement host. BuzzMaster provides preparation support and says a team member operates production backstage on site. It was founded in 2014 and is headquartered in Amsterdam. Pricing is set through a customer-specific quotation, with quoted amounts excluding VAT. Participants may use aliases, although submitted messages may appear on event screens with names; participant data is retained for up to two weeks.
