FAQ

Can our own AI assistants act on the workplace?

Yes. Kadence leads on AI for the workplace, and it's built into the platform rather than bolted on as a chatbot. Kadence MCP connects Claude, ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot to Kadence, so people book desks, rooms and parking, invite visitors, and ask occupancy and planning questions from the assistants they already use, each signed in with your SSO and working under their own permissions. Kadence AI also works in Teams and Slack, and admins get the SpaceOps AI planning agent with guided workflows to restack, consolidate or find space for a team. Mapiq's MCP is in private preview.

Does Kadence do space planning?

Yes. SpaceOps runs scenarios and stack plans on live occupancy, then schedules and executes the moves.
