For the past two months, we’ve been quietly building something with a small group of leading DMOs across the country. Now, we’re opening it up to everyone.
Compass — our AI Experience Engine — is now rolling out across the full Playeasy platform in waves over the next month. Every Playeasy destination subscriber gets access to Compass as part of their core experience, at no additional cost.
What Compass Actually Does

Compass gives visitors a conversational AI experience powered entirely by your destination’s own content. Not a generic chatbot. Not a search bar. A living, intelligent version of your destination — one that can answer questions, surface recommendations, and guide trip planning in real time, with your voice, your content, and your community’s knowledge behind every response.
You control what it knows. You control what it recommends. And you own the engagement data it generates.
A New Kind of Value for Event Organizers

Playeasy is built around events — and Compass changes what event organizers can offer their attendees. Until now, trip planning resources for event attendees meant static content on a webpage. A list of hotels. Maybe a map. Content that sits there and hopes someone reads it.
Compass replaces that with something genuinely useful. When an event is happening in your destination, attendees can have a real conversation — ask about where to stay, what to do, where to eat, what’s worth their time. They get curated, authentic answers powered by local expertise, not generic internet data. For an event organizer, this isn’t just a nice-to-have. It’s a meaningful upgrade to the attendee experience that reflects well on them — and drives real engagement back to the destination.
For destinations, every one of those conversations generates data. Who’s coming, what they care about, how they’re planning. That’s intelligence that didn’t exist before.

What’s Already Working
Compass isn’t a beta. It’s already live with some of the most forward-thinking destinations and sports tourism organizations in the country:
- Visit Salt Lake
- Visit Central Florida
- Russmatt Baseball, Compass powered by Visit Central Florida Sports
- Bismarck-Mandan CVB
- Destination Ann Arbor
- West Michigan Sports Commission
- Visit York County, SC
- Big Shots Basketball, Compass powered by Visit York County, SC
- Visit Boise
The use cases have gone further than we anticipated — college websites, on-site activations. The engagement data has exceeded every benchmark we set.
Taking Compass Further

The version rolling out across Playeasy today is powerful on its own. But Compass can go much further — embedded on your own website fully branded as your AI concierge, distributed across partner sites like hotels, colleges, and venues, powered by your full website content so every response drives traffic back to your owned pages, and activated physically on-site through QR codes.
This is the difference between Compass living on Playeasy and Compass becoming the AI layer for your entire destination.
What Happens Next
The rollout will happen in waves over the next month. The Playeasy team will reach out once Compass is activated on your profile with next steps. If you want early access and want to move to the top of the list, email us directly — we’ll get you started right away.
