Ideation

Tap into the knowledge of your community. Ideation enables you to:

  • Crowdsource ideas, thoughts, and comments
  • Customize the input form
  • Analyze and summarize with AI

Our Ideation feature is a versatile and powerful tool with endless possibilities. Leverage the collective wisdom and lived experiences of your community to solve pressing challenges, gather forward-thinking ideas, or even crowdsource content for contests and initiatives.

This bottom-up participation method empowers residents to shape policies and initiatives directly, leveraging their unique position to identify and address gaps in current policies, fostering a more inclusive and responsive democratic process.
