Most facilitators we know plan with an AI these days. It almost always ends the same way: the agenda sits in the chat, and then you retype it – into a document, a spreadsheet, a planning tool. Twenty minutes in which nothing is created.
Since 1 September 2026, Sessionario can skip that step. You connect your account once to your own Claude, ChatGPT or Grok – after that the AI knows your sessions, can read them and create new ones. The agenda doesn't appear in the chat; it appears in your planning.
What you can ask afterwards
Nothing to click, nothing to prepare. You just write, in an ordinary conversation:
- “What sessions have I got this week?”
- “Show me day 1 of my workshop in Essen.”
- “Where are the breaks too tight in this session?”
- “Create a two-day workshop on feedback conversations, 9 to 5.”
- “Write a short brief on block 4 for my co-trainer.”
The last two are the real point. The AI creates the session, fills in the agenda, sets the block types – and then you open it in Sessionario and carry on. The clock times aren't calculated by the AI but by us: it only states durations in minutes, and we chain the blocks together without gaps. That's more reliable than any mental arithmetic, and it stays right when something gets inserted later.
Which of the three?
We walked all three routes ourselves on 1 September. The result wasn't what we expected:
| AI | Effort | What to know |
|---|---|---|
| Claude | 8 steps, about 3 minutes | Any account, any conversation, on your phone too. The route with the fewest conditions. |
| Grok | 4 steps, about 2 minutes | The shortest: open one page, fill in two fields, sign in. No developer mode, no admin approval. |
| ChatGPT | 5 steps, about 5 minutes | Goes through developer mode, which only exists in the browser on a computer. Once set up, the connection works everywhere – including the ChatGPT app. |
That Grok turned out to be the easiest route surprised us. We had started with Claude, because the connection has been possible there longest, and taken ChatGPT for granted. Both were only half true.
What the AI may do – and what it may not
A green box appears when you connect, and it's worth reading once. It contains three promises that aren't marketing: they're in the code, and tests guard them.
- Sessions belonging to colleagues are never changed. If you're only an editor on a session, the AI makes its own copy first and changes that. The original stays as it was.
- A snapshot is saved before every change. The same button as for your own edits – you can go back.
- Nothing is ever deleted. Deleting stays in the app, where the recycle bin sits next to it.
And your password stays with us. Signing in happens on our own page –
which is how you recognise it, too: the address bar says
mcp.sessionario.com. The AI only gets a key for exactly the
rights you agreed to, and you can withdraw it at any time in your profile.
Two things that cost us a day
We're writing them down because they will happen to anyone who tries – and because a guide that only shows the straight path is no help at exactly these points.
The ChatGPT app on the Mac has its own manager, and it's the wrong one
It offers to add MCP servers, and that works. Only, that manager belongs to Codex, the developer area. An ordinary ChatGPT chat doesn't see the connection afterwards. It took us an hour to notice.
The right way: set it up in the browser. You can then use the connection anywhere, including in the app – it belongs to the account, not to the window.
“What sessions have I got this week?” might mean your calendar
If you've connected a calendar to ChatGPT, that question may get you an offer to connect the calendar – “sessions” sounds like appointments. Say Sessionario explicitly the first time and it's unambiguous. From the second time on, the AI knows what you mean.
How to start
You need a Sessionario account and an account with one of the three AIs. After that, each guide walks you through it in a few minutes – with pictures where an orange frame shows you where to click:
It works best with two windows side by side: the guide on the left, the AI on the right. Do a step, glance back, do the next one.
