Nowadays vs Atlas (formerly Maya)

Nowadays is an event management platform built for corporate teams that need to plan offsites, retreats, and company gatherings without hiring a full-time planner. It covers venue sourcing, registration, budgeting, vendor coordination, and day-of logistics in one place.

The platform uses AI to contact venues by email and phone, collect availability, negotiate rates, and surface the best options. Nowadays is IATA-certified and books events at volume, which unlocks preferred hotel rates and concessions that teams typically cannot get on their own.

It fits startups planning their first retreat, people teams running quarterly offsites, executive assistants sourcing venues, and enterprise teams managing events across multiple cities. Clients include Google, Airbnb, Stripe, Notion, and HubSpot.

Atlas turns a chat conversation into a full visual travel itinerary. You tell it where you want to go, how long you are staying, and what you like to do, then it drafts a plan you can refine before generating a complete trip outline in under a minute. The tool runs on Maya's AI technology and Live the World's travel content library, so recommendations draw on curated destination data rather than generic web scraping.

Unlike broad chatbots that spit out bullet lists, Atlas follows a structured flow: chat, collaborate on a draft, generate a visual plan, then save or share it. Hotel and activity bookings happen through partner links at standard prices, which is how the free planner stays funded without charging travelers upfront. The same Maya engine also powers a separate B2B product for travel agencies that want a white-label assistant on their own sites.

Independent travelers planning a vacation, friend groups coordinating a shared trip, and anyone who wants destination ideas before committing to dates are the main users. Travel agencies evaluating AI assistants for their websites can also explore the Maya B2B offering linked from the Atlas page.
