Empowering Democratic Dialogue with Pol.is
We use Pol.is, an innovative open-source platform that transforms how communities engage in meaningful discussions and find common ground on complex issues.
What is Pol.is?
Pol.is is a real-time survey and conversation platform that uses AI to identify areas of consensus and disagreement within large groups. It has been used worldwide by governments, organizations, and communities to facilitate productive public dialogue.
How It Works
Instead of traditional comments, participants respond to statements with agree/disagree/pass. Machine learning algorithms analyze these patterns to reveal where different groups share common ground, helping bridge divides and find constructive solutions.
Why We Chose Pol.is
Pol.is stands out for its ability to:
- Scale conversations to thousands of participants
- Reduce toxicity in online discussions
- Identify areas of consensus across different groups
- Provide clear data visualization of community opinions
