Eli, your assistant

What can Eli do for me?

By Nimanto 2 min read

In short

Eli can answer questions about your account, create and edit invitations, add and change guests, send invitations and messages, switch reminders, decide replies, change the design or music, tick planner tasks and close Event Hub times. Each ability is the website's own button, with the same rule.

Each thing Eli does is one of the website's own buttons, called as you. So whatever the page allows, Eli allows; whatever the page refuses, Eli refuses with the same words.

Reading, with no confirmation

Ask and Eli answers at once, usually with a card:

  • My plan: your plan, what is used and what is left.
  • My invitations: the ones you own or co-host, with their status and reply counts.
  • This invitation: its date, place, design, link, guest numbers and what is still missing before it can go live.
  • Who's coming / who hasn't replied: guests with their replies and the totals.
  • Did the invitations go: sent, pending and failed counts.
  • The RSVP settings, my contacts, the music, a place: each read from its page.
  • Designs for an occasion, priced for you.
  • How does … work: answered from the Help Center, with links to the sections it used.
  • The planner, an Event Hub page, the album, the registry: next tasks, reservations, counts and the gift tally.

Creating and editing

  • Create an invitation: Eli opens the catalogue for your occasion, you pick a design, and Eli builds a draft with AI Build. See Choose a design with Eli.
  • Change a detail: the title, date, time, time zone, place, whether replies are open, the reply-by date, the search listing and the alert address.
  • Change the words, the programme, Where to stay or the registry on a Signature invitation.
  • RSVP settings and questions.
  • Change the design, within the same occasion and format.
  • Background music: list tracks, set one, or put the design's own back.
  • Copy an invitation as a new draft.

Guests and contacts

  • Add guests: typed, pasted, dictated or as an attached CSV or Excel file. They are saved to your contact book too.
  • Change or remove a guest.
  • Add people from your contact book.

Sending and managing

  • Publish or unpublish.
  • Send the invitations, send again, or message guests now or at a set time.
  • Automatic reminders: the no-reply nudge, the day-before reminder and the thank-you note.
  • Approve or decline a reply, with or without telling the guest.
  • Invite or remove a co-host.
  • A new link or delete the invitation.
  • The photo album's settings.
  • The planner: add or tick tasks.
  • Event Hub: close or reopen a page's times, or close and open reservations.

Anything outbound, live, irreversible, paid or in bulk waits for your tap on a confirm card.

Telling Eli about Nimanto itself

If you tell Eli something about Nimanto rather than about your event ("I wish I could put a photo on the cover", "this looks broken"), Eli passes it on to the Nimanto team and shows a small card saying so. It never promises a change or a date.
