deliberAIde citizen engagement event

Our Mission

We foster thoughtful, inclusive dialogue through human-centred AI, so that important decisions reflect every voice.

Our Vision

We envision a democratic society where no voice is overlooked, and important collective decisions are taken through thoughtful, inclusive dialogue that involves all stakeholders and community members.

We believe in a future where every person can shape decisions that affect their lives by engaging in honest, open, respectful and constructive conversations with others whom they may or may not agree with.

We believe that AI technologies can help us foster and scale dialogue-based decision-making and turn this vision into reality.

Our Approach

We empower governments, organisations, and communities through AI assistance to better facilitate and scale structured conversations with and between citizens and stakeholders. The goal is to make these more inclusive, transparent, and constructive. Our tools help human interaction flourish and take decision-making to the next level, rather than trying to replace them.

We root our technology in ethical design that safeguards data privacy, integrity and security to ensure people can freely speak their mind without fearing repercussions and to protect against manipulation.

Our Core Values

These principles guide everything we do—from company structure to product development to partnerships and internal culture.

Purpose Over Profit

We prioritise democratic renewal and social impact over commercial gain. Our company and ownership structure reflect this commitment structurally and culturally.

Democracy by Design

We embed democratic principles not only in our tools, but in how we work—through participatory product development, inclusive design, and collective decision-making.

Ethical AI

Our technology respects privacy, transparency, and accountability. We reject extractive data practices and strive for explainability and human oversight at every step.

Radical Inclusivity

We actively design against exclusion—whether through language barriers, technical complexity, or socio-economic inequality. Accessibility, multilingualism, and simplicity are not optional—they are essential.

Trust Through Transparency

We are open about what our tools can and cannot do. We foster trust through clarity, not hype—both with partners and the public.

Collective Intelligence

We believe diverse perspectives lead to better decisions. Our work is rooted in the belief that real dialogue—structured, civil, and inclusive—can transform societies.

Collaboration Over Competition

We build in ecosystems, not silos. We seek partnerships with civil society, public institutions, and other civic tech actors to build a stronger democratic infrastructure together.
