Problem
Organizations struggle to gather both deep, contextual feedback and broad stakeholder input in a single session, often resorting to separate focus groups, surveys, or limited video calls that either miss quiet voices or lack scale.
Solution
Converge offers a live, moderated engagement platform that lets 20 to 1,000 participants submit answers simultaneously while a voice moderator guides the discussion. Participants type responses anonymously, preventing dominant speakers from steering the conversation. Real‑time AI clusters the incoming answers into visual themes, allowing the whole group to see emerging patterns instantly. The group can then prioritize and align on key insights together, combining the richness of focus‑group depth with the reach of large‑scale surveys. The platform delivers a 60–90 minute session that produces actionable, synthesized reports for decision makers.
Target Audience
Primary customers are large enterprises, consulting firms, and government agencies that need to align diverse stakeholder groups quickly, such as product teams, strategy units, and policy makers.
