Places with no strings attached
Many ask for places where you can simply be, without spending money.
Understand where you are
Let every voice shape the decision
Make decisions built on what residents and members really think. Everyone joins via a link or QR code, sees what others think and finds out what their voice led to, while Vocean AI summarises the answers straight away.
What it looks like with Vocean
An open dialogue everyone can follow
Everyone contributes on equal terms, sees what others think and gets the result back.
Every perspective
Residents and members contribute anonymously via a link or QR code, on their phone or computer. Someone who rarely attends public meetings counts as much as someone who always does, and the dialogue reaches far beyond the usual voices.
Insights straight away
Vocean AI summarises every contribution into themes, needs and opportunities straight away, however many answer. Ask your own questions of the material, such as which ideas are about feeling safe.
Shared understanding
The result goes back to everyone who took part, the same day. Participants see what others contributed and where the dialogue landed, and trust in the next dialogue grows.
Action plan and the next round
Vocean AI suggests actions and follow-up workshops based on the dialogue. You pick what fits, bring the needs into the planning work and invite people to the next round.
The flow in practice
How to run a citizen dialogue in Vocean
An example: a municipality wants to know what residents want from the town centre in the years ahead.
1. Build the flow
Pick a template or let Vocean AI suggest the flow, and write open questions about the town centre. Share the link or QR code where residents already are, and they join straight away.
2. Collect and rate
Everyone answers anonymously, on their phone or computer. Residents then like and rate each other's ideas, so the bigger picture emerges.
3. Analyse and ask your own questions
Vocean AI summarises every contribution into themes, needs and opportunities. Ask your own questions of the material, such as which ideas are about feeling safe.
4. Report back and build shared understanding
Share the result with everyone who took part the same day, on the same link. Residents see what others contributed, and you get a shared picture to base the decision on.
5. Take the next step
Press “Suggest” and Vocean AI suggests actions, new workshops and decisions based on the dialogue. Pick what fits and tick it off in the platform as the work moves forward.
Vocean AI gives you the analyses and answers to your own questions. Every answer counts, every single one, and the conclusions are yours.

Common questions about citizen dialogue
How do you run a digital citizen dialogue?
Write a few open questions, share a link or QR code where residents already are and let everyone answer anonymously. In Vocean participants also see and rate each other's suggestions, Vocean AI summarises the answers and the result goes back to everyone who took part. The same setup works for member dialogue in any organisation.
Do residents need to download an app or create an account?
Participants click a link or scan a QR code and they're in, on their phone or computer. No app or account is needed.
How are data and personal information handled?
Contributions are anonymous. Your data is stored and processed in Sweden, with backups within the EU. Vocean complies with GDPR, and all data is processed within the EU/EEA.
Read about security and dataHow many people can take part?
It depends on the licence: up to 200 participants per workshop with our licences, and thousands with an Enterprise agreement. Participants join straight away via a link.
Can I try this on a real workshop?
