Host conversations with your community

Strengthen your community from having meaningful conversations

We build Comhairle for communities, facilitators and institutions to listen carefully and listen at scale.

Reach more people.

We help you recruit more audience and especially those who bring new perspectives to the conversation. Comhairle is built in with hybrid (online and offline) discussion flows that help you hear from people you couldn’t reach before.

Highlight feature: invitation system, interim report

Discover rich, quality insights.

We provide rich ways of engaging with participants — from storytelling to dialogues, from voting to assistive opinion building. We don’t just listen, we also draw out why people say what they say. What we deliver is richer, better quality insights than raw survey data.

Highlight feature: video call, prioritisation tool

Comhairle Capabilities

We are empowered by civic-tech communities and real-world use cases. These are the capabilities our partners have highlighted for us.

Capability 1 / 8

Sensemaking

After collecting feedback, making sense of large volumes of data can quickly become overwhelming. That’s where we come in. Our tools help you identify emerging topics, understand how opinions cluster around each issue, and explore the demographics behind each group. This gives you a clearer picture of not just what people are saying, but who is saying it—and the context behind their perspectives.
Capability 2 / 8

Elicitation

Our survey style is interactive — we ask follow-up questions and dig out why your audience think what they think, so you can make better, more lasting decisions.
Capability 3 / 8

Broad listening

Listen across many voices at once without losing signal in noise.
Capability 4 / 8

Capacity building

Equip your team and your community with skills to keep the conversation going long after we leave.
Capability 5 / 8

Large scale deliberation

Run structured deliberation across thousands of participants without losing the texture of small-group dialogue.
Capability 6 / 8

Assistive facilitation

AI-assisted facilitation supports your style — it doesn’t replace it.
Capability 7 / 8

Process design

Customisable end-to-end engagement flows tailored to your goals.
Capability 8 / 8

Civic muscle building

Strengthen the habits and trust that make participation work in the long run.
