United States of America 🇺🇸

Convexus is a civic tech platform that transforms meaningful dialogue into coordinated action—from dialogue to impact, at any scale. Built for teams, communities, advocacy organizations, and institutions of any size, it combines AI-assisted facilitation with a structured Explore → Align → Act workflow to help groups move from fragmented conversation to collective progress. Core Innovation: Convexus doesn't just facilitate discussion—it provides an integrated path from conversation to consensus to real-world action, with AI guidance that enhances rather than replaces human deliberation. Convexus creates facilitated discussion spaces where: 1. Users enter conversations around specific issues with clear goals 2. AI facilitates by guiding tone, surfacing common ground, and summarizing progress 3. Progress tracking moves participants through phases: Explore → Align → Act 4. Action Loop surfaces concrete next steps (proposals, votes, stakeholder engagement) 5. Accountability through transparent tracking and decision documentation 6. Flexibility to work at any scale—from a 6-person book club to a citywide town hall Use Cases Teams & Workplaces: Align on priorities, plan retreats, make decisions without endless meetings Community & Grassroots Movements: Coordinate neighborhood projects, volunteer efforts, local initiatives, and distributed action while maintaining coherent messaging. Track chapter activities and share best practices. Enable local autonomy within a shared framework for collective impact. Nonprofits & Advocacy: Deploy Convexus for member engagement on specific campaigns. AI handles routine facilitation while staff focuses on strategic facilitation. Build deeper member investment through genuine participation in shaping priorities. Classrooms & Cohorts: Teach deliberation skills through hands-on civic engagement projects and structured practice. Students experience deliberative democracy in action, learning to navigate disagreement productively and translate discussion into outcomes. Government & Civic Orgs: Digital town halls with structured input, anonymous participation options, and actionable output summaries for policymakers. Replace endless public comment periods with focused deliberation that produces clear community priorities. Political Campaigns: Engage constituents in genuine policy development rather than one-way messaging. Demonstrate commitment to responsive governance while building a more invested supporter base. Healthcare & Education Institutions: Gather stakeholder input on programs, policies, and community needs. AI Ethics Communities: As demonstrated in the Sanctuary AI discussion, Convexus provides a structured space for the complex conversations around AI design, consent, and human-AI coexistence—conversations that current platforms handle poorly.
