Cortico
Bringing underheard voices to the center of a stronger public dialogue
Cortico’s Local Voices Network (LVN) platform enables partner organizations to understand their communities’ lived experiences, amplify typically underheard voices, inform public understanding, and drive better policy and decisions. LVN is a unique **“human listening + machine learning”** system that combines **the ancient techniques of human dialogue and deep listening** (through facilitated small-group conversations) with **the analytic power of modern AI** (through tools for identifying patterns/themes across conversations). The result is a system that captures, at scale, public sentiment with a level of authenticity and nuance that surveys and focus groups cannot match.
