ThinkMatch Adds AI-Assisted Question Creation for Event Hosts

Hosts can turn source material into editable text, choice, multiple-answer, and ranked question drafts designed to reveal shared views rather than test reading comprehension.

Palo Alto, Calif. · August 11, 2026

Software995 Inc. announced a new AI-assisted question creation tool for hosts using ThinkMatch's multistep event creator.

A host can paste the text of a news article, agenda, briefing, discussion topic, or other source and ask ThinkMatch to create a set of event-question drafts. The tool is designed to help people discover shared opinions, values, interests, and priorities related to the source—not to quiz guests on facts or reading comprehension.

Generated drafts can use a written response, a single choice, multiple answers, or a ranked list. Before adding anything to the event, the host can review each draft, revise its wording and choices, change its response type, decide whether it is required, and leave out questions that do not fit the gathering.

Nothing is added to the host's reusable question list or selected for the event until the host approves the drafts. Once added, the questions appear with the event's other selected and host-created questions and can be reviewed before the host continues.

The feature can help a host build a more relevant questionnaire around a current issue, book-club selection, conference theme, class discussion, community meeting, workplace briefing, or other shared material without starting every prompt from a blank page.

ThinkMatch uses guest answers to support more thoughtful introductions, compatible groups, conversation starters, private chat, and optional video before people meet in person. The new creation tool gives hosts another way to shape those signals around the actual subject of an event.

AI question creation is available in the full multistep event-creation flow. Generated questions are drafts and should be reviewed by the host for accuracy, balance, and suitability before use.

"The useful question after reading an article is often not whether someone remembers a detail, but what they think about the choices and values behind it," said Scott Rothstein, Architect at Software995 Inc. "This tool helps hosts turn timely material into better starting points for finding common ground and having a real conversation."
