OPEN BETA Open to every Metis account from Monday 12 October

Say what the event needs. Metis sets the room.

Metis AI turns a sentence — typed or spoken — into a real, measured floor plan: every guest seated, walkways kept clear, top table, dance floor and bar where they belong. Then walk it in 3D with your voice, and turn it into a photorealistic visual for the proposal.

YOU TYPE — OR JUST SAY

“Wedding breakfast for 120 in the Grand Ballroom on 5ft rounds of 10. Top table for 10, a 5×4m dance floor with a DJ beside it, and a bar. Keep 1.2m walkways.”

✦ Create with AI

From one sentence to a fully seated room — in seconds, not an afternoon.

Tell Metis the guests, the style and the extras the way you'd tell a colleague. The AI reads your brief; Metis's own layout engine then places every table, chair and aisle to your venue's spacing rules. So what you get is measured, not imagined — and it's an ordinary plan you can move, tweak and save.

Describe it

Type it, or press Speak and say it. Room by name, guest numbers, table sizes in feet or metres, the extras — anything you leave out, Metis asks.

Metis has laid out the wedding: 120 of 120 guests seated on 11 rounds, top table, dance floor, DJ and bar, with a summary of what was done
2

Metis lays it out

“120 of 120 guests seated.” Top table on the long wall, dance floor in the middle, DJ beside it, rounds kept clear of the pillars, 1.2 m walkways honoured. A preview first — nothing touches your plan until you press Use this layout.

Walk it in 3D

One click and the client is standing in the room — guests at the tables, chandeliers overhead, the top table across the floor. Same plan, nothing redrawn.

The conference plan: 250 of 250 seated theatre style, stage 6 by 3 metres, lectern on the stage, a screen and a 1.5 metre centre aisle

Not just weddings. “Conference for 250, theatre style with a centre aisle, a stage with a lectern and a screen.” — 250 of 250 seated, facing the stage, aisle down the middle. Want a different look? Type “gold Napoleon chairs” into the Change it box.

It speaks your language

5ft rounds or 152 cm, “rounds of 10”, top tables, cabaret, theatre, classroom, boardroom, U-shape, herringbone, standing receptions.

It knows your rooms

Say “the Grand Ballroom” and it opens your real room — walls, doors, pillars. Misspell it and it offers the close matches. No room? It draws one to fit.

It keeps you safe

Walkways, gaps between tables, wall clearance and keep-clear zones are held. If the room can't take everyone, it says so plainly — and shows ways to fit more.

It fills in the extras

Stage, lectern, screens, bars, DJ, dance floor, photo booth, cake table, “uplighters round the room 2 m apart” — placed where they belong.

It learns your venue

“Remember these positions” and “Remember this set-up” save how your team likes a room, so the next request starts from your way of doing it.

It never surprises you

Everything arrives as a preview with a plain-English summary. Cancel puts the plan back exactly; one Undo removes it after you've used it.

🎙 “Hey Metis” & voice control

Plan out loud. Tour the room hands-free.

Turn on Hey Metis and talk to the planner like a colleague on site. Say the brief; if something's missing Metis asks you, out loud, and listens for the answer. Say “go ahead” and the layout appears. In the 3D view, your voice is the controller.

  • “Hey Metis — dinner for 80 on rounds of 10 with a top table.”
  • Asked “How many per table?” — just answer “ten”.
  • “Walk forward… keep going… stop. Turn around.”
  • “Top view.” “Fly round.” “Show 360.” “Next viewpoint.”

AI Visualisation Studio

Turn your measured Metis floor plan into a photorealistic event visual. Your layout stays exactly as you designed it — the AI adds the venue's real finishes, your event theme and the atmosphere, so clients can see the event before it exists.

Step 1 — a measured 2D event floor plan drawn in Metis Room Planner
1

Start with your measured 2D plan

Every visualisation begins with the plan you already trust: real dimensions, real table counts, real circulation space. Nothing is invented — the AI is never allowed to move a table or block a fire exit.

Step 2 — the same event layout viewed in interactive 3D
2

See it in 3D — with standard finishes

One click turns the plan into an interactive 3D room — walk it through, pick the camera angle your client should see. At this stage the room wears Metis's standard finishes: accurate, but it could be anywhere.

Step 3 — a reference photograph of the real venue room
3

Add photos of the real room

Optionally upload photographs of your venue. The Studio uses them as appearance references — your actual walls, carpet, ceiling, chandeliers and daylight — so the visual looks like a photograph taken in your room, not a generic hall.

Step 4 — the real 3D banquet layout blended with the venue's AI-extracted walls, floor and finishes
4

Now it's your room

Compare with step 2: same measured layout, but the AI has extracted the venue's real panelling, stonework, floor and curtains from the photographs and dressed the 3D room in them. Anonymous becomes unmistakably this venue — interactive, walkable, and inherited by every event planned from the template.

Step 5 — AI-generated photorealistic event visual of the same layout
5

Set the theme & generate options

Choose an event theme — classic wedding, awards dinner, Christmas party and more — plus colours, lighting mood, time of day and décor intensity. The AI dresses your exact layout and returns a photorealistic visual in under a minute.

Step 6 — an alternative AI visualisation of the same event layout with different styling
6

Explore the options

Generate alternative looks, compare them side by side with the source plan, keep the ones the client loves and download them for proposals. Every visual stays attached to its plan — the measured layout remains the single source of truth.

Another room, same journey — a panelled boardroom

From measured plan to the venue's real oak panelling in four steps: every surface below was extracted from the venue's own photographs.

Boardroom example step 1 — the measured 2D plan: one boardroom table for 24 with centrepieces
1

The measured plan

A boardroom dinner for 24 — one long table, two floral centrepieces, real dimensions and chair spacing. The layout is the contract: the AI never moves a chair.

Boardroom example step 2 — the interactive 3D room with standard finishes
2

The 3D room, dressed by hand

The same plan in interactive 3D with finishes picked from Metis's library — panelling, curtains, wall lights, fireplace. Close, but it's a designer's guess at the room.

Boardroom example step 3 — a photograph of the real panelled boardroom
3

The real room

One photograph of the venue's actual boardroom: full-height oak panelling, stone fireplace, portrait, tall curtained windows and its own daylight.

Boardroom example step 4 — the 3D room re-dressed in the venue's AI-extracted oak panelling and finishes
4

The 3D room, dressed by the venue

One click later the Studio has extracted the room's true surfaces from the photo — the oak panelling with its actual mouldings, the curtains, the carpet — and dressed the interactive 3D in them. Same measured layout, now unmistakably this boardroom.

Boardroom example step 5 — the AI-generated photorealistic visual of the dinner in the real boardroom
5

The photorealistic visual

Finally the AI renders the event itself: the same 24-cover dinner, photographed as if standing in the room — linen, glassware, candlelight and the venue's own panelling. This is the image that goes in the proposal.

The Metis AI open beta

Open to everyone. Monday 12 October.

No waiting list, no sign-up form, no application. From Monday every Metis account — including a brand-new free trial — finds ✦ Create with AI and Hey Metis in the planner, marked Beta. Use them on real events, push them hard, and tell us what you'd like next.

Monday 12 October

Live for every account

Create with AI, Hey Metis and voice control in 3D switch on for every company — existing customers and new trials alike.

During the beta

Included, no extra cost

Every week

Shaped by you

We ship improvements through the beta. Tell us what it got right, what it missed and what you'd ask it next — your feedback sets the order.

Does it cost anything?

No. During the beta Create with AI and voice control are included with every Metis plan and free trial, up to 300 AI layouts per company each month.

Will it change my plan without asking?

Never. Every layout arrives as a preview with a summary of what was done. Cancel puts everything back exactly as it was; after you press “Use this layout”, one Undo takes it off again.

Is the AI guessing where tables go?

No. The AI only reads your description into a checked list — guests, style, table sizes, extras. Metis's own layout engine places everything, to measured dimensions and your venue's spacing rules.

What happens to what I type or say?

Your description is sent securely to our AI provider to be read. During the beta Metis keeps what you asked for, a small picture of the layout it made, and any feedback you send, for 90 days, so we can see what works and improve it. After that they are deleted automatically. Metis never uses them for advertising or to train AI models.

Which browsers work with voice?

Typing works everywhere. Speaking, “Hey Metis” and voice control in 3D use your browser's speech recognition — Chrome, Edge and Safari on desktop.

How do I send feedback?

Email [email protected] — the link is also on every Beta badge inside the planner. We read every message.
