So your assistant knows what's on today.

Language models know the world up to their training date, not today's programme. CIXTRA delivers current events, places and opening hours through an API, checked and with their status.

Request test accessHow it works

The question about today is hard

“What can I do tonight?” is one of the most common questions assistants get. Without current data, they guess.

  • Out of date

    The model knows venues and festivals, but not today's programme.

  • Web search is unreliable

    Results are outdated, duplicated or contradict each other. The model has to guess what's right.

  • Made-up times

    When data is missing, the model names plausible dates that don't exist. Users end up at a closed door.

  • No source

    Neither users nor providers can check where a statement comes from.

A question to the assistant

Before

A user asks what they can do in Lyon with kids today. The assistant names a puppet theatre that exists, with a time from last year.

With CIXTRA

The assistant queries CIXTRA and names two shows from today, with start time, venue and status. One was moved this morning, and the new time is already in.

What CIXTRA gives your model

Structured data instead of web pages. You choose regions, topics and languages.

Current datesEvents with start time, venue and status, read again and again and matched.
StatusEvery date says whether it is cancelled, sold out or moved.
ConnectionsArtists, works, venues and festivals are linked. The model can ask its way from one to the next.
Ten languagesAnswers in the user's language, names in the right script.

When a date changes

CIXTRA keeps reading the sources. Your assistant gets the new state with the next question.

What AI providers ask us

How do you connect it to a model?

Through a REST API with JSON responses and an API key. Most teams connect it as a tool the model calls when it needs to.

Where does the data come from?

From the websites, calendars and announcements of venues and organisers. Every entry records where it comes from and when it was last read.

How current is it?

Sources are read again and again. Changes and cancellations usually show up the same day.

Which regions are covered?

In the first call we show you which regions CIXTRA covers today. New ones arrive in the same format.

Which languages?

Ten languages, including English, Italian, Chinese, Korean and Arabic. Names of venues and artists appear in the right script.

Is it only about culture?

No. Markets, festivals, guided tours, day trips and opening hours of museums and pools are included too.
