The problem
Side channel
The deck is on the projector. The poll is in a browser they never open. The room stays quiet.
AI wrote the slides
Claude, ChatGPT, and Copilot produce the file. They do not produce a live room. Engagement is still a second project.
No list
A screenshot of a word cloud is not a roster. Work emails never hit the CRM.
The product
Askplane is the app. You create the event there. The room joins from a phone. You do not rebuild the presentation in Askplane. You add interactivity to it.How a session runs
1
You start the event
From the app, or from the PowerPoint pane. A five-character code appears.
2
The room joins
Attendees go to askplane.com, enter the code, name, and work email. About ten seconds. Nothing to install.
3
You open a poll
The question hits their phones. Results update live: on the wall, and on the current slide when you host from the add-in.
4
You leave with the list
Export attendees, votes, and questions before the room empties.
What you can run
Live polls
Choice, cloud, quiz, rating, text, and rank: one open at a time.
Moderated Q&A
Questions land pending. You approve, pin, or hide before anything hits the slide.
On-brand results
Type an organization name. Logo and palette follow. Options can use their product language.
Same-day export
CSV of every attendee, vote, and question. The list is the session.
Who it is for
Meetings that already have a deck and people in seats:- Sales presentations: check the room before you ask for the next meeting
- Presales workshops: questions and names even when the usual tool is blocked
- Post-sales enablement: who is stuck, who is ready
- All-hands: one poll on the slide leadership is already showing
- Investor calls: read the room without breaking the narrative
- Vendor workshop days: join on a phone, moderate Q&A, export before the lobby
How it is different
Most polling tools split the hour: deck on the projector, poll in another product. That split is where the room goes quiet. Askplane keeps one channel:- On the presentation you already have: not a second show you build in a vendor editor
- Work email at join: you leave with a roster, not a screenshot
- Audience needs a browser: the host may use an add-in; the room never does
