Problem
Facilitators, organizers, and community groups often struggle to gather diverse opinions, visualize disagreement, and identify shared priorities in a transparent, scalable way, especially when participants are distributed across different locations and platforms.
Solution
Agora offers an open‑source facilitation platform that enables organizers to collect votes and opinions, map opinion groups, and surface bridging statements that reveal common ground. Participants can log in via email, phone, event tickets, digital IDs, or Web3 wallets, and optionally provide demographic data through short surveys. The platform uses deterministic voting‑pattern analysis to infer opinion clusters and applies machine‑learning summarization for easier interpretation, while keeping the original statements visible. Facilitators can switch between Conversation Mode for open‑ended discussion and Prioritization Mode for ranking proposals, then export insights or generate reports. Agora is available as a free Lite tier for community use and a customizable Pro tier with advanced moderation, analytics, and demographic features.
Target Audience
Agora serves facilitators, event organizers, civic engagement teams, NGOs, public institutions, businesses, and DAO governance groups that need to understand participant perspectives across differences and make data‑driven collective decisions.
