Ever wanted to quickly test an idea with an invited audience?

Dialogue lets you sound people out about an issue, or hear their feedback on a draft proposal. And, since you can set up as many groups as you like, there’s no limit on how many concepts you can try out at once.

Expert assistance

Get the subject specialists in the room. Dialogue gives stakeholders a place to talk about your proposals with each other, and with you.

It's interactive and dynamic: think 'conversation', not 'survey'. But it's also more structured than 15 people talking over each other on a video call. It's the easiest way to capture a group discussion loud and clear.

Interactivity without toxicity

Dialogue provides a space where you can manage who is permitted to join.

Registered accounts and moderator approval let you keep the conversation civil: no barrages of anonymous abuse.

Deliberation station

Dialogue puts the discussion in the open: group members can respond to everyone else’s ideas and suggestions.

That gets people reflecting, deliberating and working towards consensus.

And with moderation tools, highlighted admin comments and unlimited Dialogue spaces, you can get involved as well, keeping discussions constructively structured and conversations on track.
