FAQ

How this task behaves

  • 01

    Can my AI buy tickets for me?

    No. The AI can only find the event details and dates. You have to go to the vendor to buy tickets yourself.

  • 02

    Can the AI change the venue's schedule?

    No. The agent only reads data from Songkick. It cannot modify any venue information or event listings.

  • 03

    Does it work for any venue in the world?

    It works for any venue that has a public presence and calendar listed on Songkick.

  • 04

    Can I set up automatic alerts?

    The AI can check for updates whenever you ask it to, but it doesn't push notifications to your phone on its own.

  • 05

    Will it tell me if a show is sold out?

    It can check the event details provided by the tool, which may include availability information if Songkick provides it.
