AI Assisted Bookings
The AI-assisted auto negotiation feature in Matador streamlines seminar and sponsorship deals by intelligently matching athletes, gyms, and sponsors based on preferences, availability, and budget. Once a party expresses interest, the AI suggests optimal terms, automates initial offers, and facilitates real-time adjustments, significantly reducing back-and-forth messaging. This ensures faster, fairer agreements with minimal manual input, saving time and boosting conversion rates across the platform.
