Overcome barriers to equity

Community leaders want to serve all constituents fairly, but overcoming language barriers, biases, or political divisions can be difficult. Our anti-bias platform offers simultaneous translation in over 100 languages, so everyone can easily weigh in on the decisions that affect them. With our Differences tool, you can even identify common ground across polarized groups.

ThoughtExchange helps community leaders gather feedback and get alignment from tens, hundreds, or even thousands of people in as little as minutes. Our platform facilitates change through candid, collaborative community conversations.

Get better data, for more effective results

Tap into the power of collective intelligence technology to rapidly gather data and find the best ideas across your constituencies. Build engagement around change and innovation and capture the true voice of the people who are most affected by major public directives (public facilities, parks, short term rentals, and more).

  • Get better insights to build your strategy, and your community will be more invested because they contributed
  • Discover differences and commonalities among groups
  • Use segmentation questions and themes to break down data and identify priorities

Get to outcomes faster, with increased efficiency

Surveys alone often limit participants to predetermined responses, and focus groups and 1:1s can take months to host and analyze. ThoughtExchange is an efficient way to gather community data and quickly action insights.

  • Ask an open-ended question to get constituents’ insights and ideas in their own words
  • See how priorities rise to the top in real-time as responses are rated
  • Reduce time spent gathering and understanding insights with AI-powered analytics

Have equitable conversations, without bias

All thoughts are created equal in an Exchange, so participants can rate them based on merit, not hierarchy. Every voice is heard, thoughts are shared and rated anonymously, and the group’s priorities rise to the top.

  • Empower and understand diverse perspectives using our patented anti-bias software
  • Automate distribution and reminder communications through integrations with Outlook, Slack, and MS Teams
  • Converse and engage in over 100 languages with automatic translation capabilities
