02 · Ticketing · Inventory and checkout
Answer inventory questions without pretending tickets are held or paid.
Availability, a temporary hold, checkout, and successful payment are separate states. Tonetify lets the assistant explain what is visible while the ticketing host remains authoritative for reservation and payment.
Reference rollout scenario, not a deployed customer case study.
For event operators, ticketing platforms, and venue teams
The costly misunderstanding
An assistant may turn visible inventory into a reservation promise, creating disputes when another customer completes payment first.
What the host knows
The event page shows two remaining tickets. No hold exists and checkout has not started.
Unsafe reply
“We reserved two tickets for you.”
Bounded reply
“The page currently shows two tickets, but they are not reserved. Complete checkout; the payment result is authoritative.”
Division of responsibility
The product keeps authority. AI stays useful.

- 01Live inventory
