Ready to facilitate with confidence?

Import a workshop from Planner, press start, and let the Facilitator dashboard guide you through every moment.

How It Works

From plan to session in four steps

1

Import your agenda

Select any workshop you've built in Planner. Your exercises, timings, and notes transfer automatically.

2

Start the session

Press start and the dashboard takes over. Scripts load, timers begin, and AI suggestions activate.

3

Facilitate live

Navigate with keyboard or clicks. Capture notes, pull intervention cards, and let the AI handle transitions.

text_adFacilitator Scripts

A teleprompter for facilitators

Every exercise opens with SAY and DO blocks: word-for-word prompts to read aloud, step-by-step setup to follow. You know exactly what comes next, even for an exercise you've never run.

No more scanning a wall of instructions thirty seconds before the room turns to you. No improvising the framing and hoping it lands. The hard part, knowing what to say and when, is already done.

Each block shows its timing too, so you can read the room instead of the clock. Run it cold or run it for the hundredth time, either way, you walk in prepared.

Script Overview Notes Materials
SAY
"We're going to use the Five Whys technique. I'll state the problem, and we'll ask 'why' five times to get to the root cause."
DO
Write the problem statement on the board. Ask the group for the first "why" — capture responses on sticky notes. Repeat four more times, each time digging deeper.
SAY
"Now that we've reached the root cause, let's brainstorm three concrete actions we can take this week."
alarmDual Timer System

Timer precision, not guesswork

Per-item and session-wide countdowns, anchored to real time. Close the laptop, reload the page, fly through a timezone, the clock keeps counting, exactly where you left it.

Each timer turns amber at two minutes, so you can start landing the discussion before you're out of time, and red when you run over, so a section never quietly eats the one after it.

You facilitate the room; the timing takes care of itself.

keyboardKeyboard-First

Mouse-free navigation

Every critical action has a shortcut. Jump between items, pause the timer, capture a note, or pull up an intervention card, all from the keyboard, all without breaking eye contact. Learn four or five keys and the interface effectively disappears; you stop thinking about where to click and just do the thing.

Because the moment you look down to hunt for a button is the moment the room notices you're managing software instead of leading them.

Your hands stay still, your eyes stay up, and your attention stays where it belongs, on the people in front of you.

R Open rescue cards when the room needs a shift
N Capture a timestamped note without breaking flow
articleNote Taking

Capture it, keep the flow

Drop a timestamped note with a single keystroke, a quote, a tension, a decision worth keeping. Each note pins to the exercise it happened in, so your post-session summary writes itself instead of relying on memory.

Read the room at a glance

Participants tap to signal, thumbs up, slow down, I'm lost, ready to move on. You see the pulse of the room in real time, so you adjust the pace before energy dips instead of long after.

Breaks that feel like breaks

Start a break and music you choose, fades in alongside a countdown the whole room can see. People know exactly when to be back, and the awkward silence-then-scramble of "are we starting again?" simply disappears.

Level Up Your Facilitation

Learn.

Before you run the room, you read it. Steal from facilitators who've made every mistake, study the moves that worked, and stockpile exercises you can pull when the agenda goes sideways. Your reading list now is your toolkit later.

Plan.

A workshop is a sequence of decisions you make before anyone walks in: who's there, what changes by the end, where the energy spikes and dips. Block out the time, name the moves, leave room for the room. Plan tight enough to start, loose enough to follow what actually happens.

Facilitate.

The plan meets the room and the room wins. Your job is to read what's actually happening, not what you scripted, and steer with small, specific moves. Hold the timer. Surface the unsaid. Cut what's not landing.

Reflect.

The hour after the workshop is when the value either compounds or evaporates. Capture what surfaced, send the artifacts before momentum dies, and write down the one thing you'd do differently. Run enough sessions and the patterns become a craft.

A letter for facilitators who give a damn.
