Pulse Deliberation Platform
Structured AI deliberation — from brief to boardroom.
The Challenge
Organisations making decisions about policy, strategy, or community issues need diverse perspectives. Traditional methods — focus groups, surveys, town halls — are expensive, slow, geographically limited, and vulnerable to groupthink. A survey with 1,000 responses might capture opinion, but it doesn't capture debate. A focus group captures depth, but only from 8 people in a room.
What if you could assemble a room of 20 diverse thinkers — each with genuine demographic grounding, distinct life experience, and a real point of view — and watch them debate your question in real-time? Not generic AI voices. People with educational backgrounds, occupational histories, and cognitive styles that shape how they see your problem.
Our Approach
We built a multi-agent deliberation platform where AI participants aren't generic assistant voices — they're demographically rich personas with education backgrounds coded to international standards, occupational histories, and distinct cognitive styles. A retired nurse from regional Australia brings different insight to healthcare policy than a 28-year-old fintech analyst from Melbourne.
The platform tracks opinion shifts in real-time through worm charts, captures minority viewpoints alongside consensus, and generates presentation-ready outputs from raw deliberation data. Facilitator modes range from fully automated to human-guided, and polling captures not just positions but conviction and nuance.
The goal isn't to replace human judgement — it's to pressure-test ideas against perspectives you might not otherwise hear.
The Platform
Visual Walkthrough
Panel Assembly
Assemble your deliberation panel from 47 demographically grounded personas. Each brings genuine diversity — not just different names, but different educations, occupations, life stages, and thinking styles. Drag people into roles: panellist, audience, facilitator, advisor. The composition of the room shapes the quality of the conversation.
Live Deliberation
Watch the discussion unfold in real-time. Each participant responds to what's been said, building on arguments, challenging assumptions, and introducing perspectives the room hasn't considered. The facilitator guides the conversation — steering toward depth when the discussion stays shallow, and moving on when a point has been thoroughly explored.
Demographic Depth
Every persona is coded to international education and occupation standards. This isn't cosmetic diversity — it's structural. A persona's background shapes how they frame problems, what evidence they trust, and what trade-offs they're willing to make. The result: deliberations that surface genuine tension, not polite agreement.
Opinion Tracking & Polling
Worm charts track how positions shift through the discussion — who changed their mind, when, and in response to what argument. Polling captures not just agreement or disagreement, but conviction, ambivalence, and the specific concerns driving each position.
From Discussion to Presentation
Story Mode takes the raw deliberation — hours of nuanced debate — and generates structured presentation content. The output narrativises the discussion: what was agreed, what was contested, where consensus emerged, and what questions remain open. Ready for the boardroom.
Research-Grounded Deliberation
Deliberations don't happen in a vacuum. The research layer integrates academic literature and web sources, attaching evidence briefs to sessions so participants argue from data, not just opinion. Research findings are searchable and reusable across sessions.
