Read the film description

A gold-lit journey from the globe and Glasgow’s skyline into Trades Hall. The Grand Hall transforms through imagined wedding, conference, dining, exhibition and reception layouts, before a finale celebrating the 14 Incorporated Trades. The closing title reads “One landmark. Every occasion. Planned with Venviewer.” An original instrumental score accompanies the film; there is no spoken narration.

The platform

From the first layout
to the final handover.

For the people who plan the event, agree the details and prepare the room.

  1. Plan the room.

    Work with a visual layout of the venue. Bring furniture and event requirements into the same conversation.

    Room layouts & saved plans

  2. Agree the details.

    Keep the review connected to the plan, so the version being approved is clear to everyone involved.

    Review & approval

  3. Hand over clearly.

    Take the agreed layout into an approved setup sheet that the team can use to prepare the room.

    Approved-layout setup sheets
Where we are today

The working product includes saved layouts, review and approval, and approved-layout setup sheets. Proposal messages drafted by Claude are built and tested, ready to switch on with the venue’s team. Wider venue operations are still in development as we prepare for our first operational venue rollout.

Our starting point

One real venue.
A wider ambition.

Trades Hall Glasgow, Scotland

I’m Blake, the founder of Venviewer. I saw an opportunity to bring the visual and practical sides of venue planning closer together.

I’m funding the work myself and building the first version around Trades Hall in Glasgow. The aim is to make it useful for the venue’s team, then expand to other venues once it is ready.

The principle behind the product is simple: make everyone’s life easier, from the person booking an event to the people setting up the room.

Built on Claude

Useful assistance.
Grounded in the venue.

We build Venviewer with Claude Code, and our proposal-drafting workflow is now connected to Claude through Anthropic’s API. The event details the venue holds and the client’s own words go in as data, with phone numbers and email addresses removed; the draft comes back separately, for staff to read through before it is used.

  1. Prepare a grounded draft

    Built: Claude drafts the reply to a client from the event details and the client’s words, using only the facts it is given.

  2. Keep staff in control

    The draft stays separate until a member of staff chooses to use it, and must be read through before saving. Generating a draft never sends a message.

  3. Understand the enquiry

    Next: turn a customer’s message into structured event requirements and identify the details still missing.

First evaluation, 8 October 2026: 12 made-up enquiries, including two prompt-injection attempts and questions about price, availability and access. In the final round, rule-based checks and a separate Claude grader found every draft within the facts it was given, with nothing confirmed that the venue had not confirmed and no injected instruction followed. Median 5.2 seconds and about one US cent per draft. Next: real enquiries with the venue’s team, measuring accuracy, staff edits and cost per enquiry.
