Empurrando Juntas
Free tool to gather opinions and simplify participation.
EJ (Pushing Together) is a simplified participation platform that uses artificial intelligence techniques to group participants according to their opinions. The grouping is done through personas, which makes it possible to discover new nuances and groups that would otherwise be incomprehensible. Based on the results of a survey, the EJ is able to collect perceptions, be a listening tool and understand what the public thinks about a particular subject, thus reinforcing its participation and communication strategy. Its parent organization had 312.635,40 BRL gross operating revenue and 1.101.045,46 BRL expenses in 2021.
Evidence of this project's impact
EJ has been recognized for its role in promoting civic engagement and facilitating public deliberation. The platform has been utilized in various initiatives aimed at enhancing democratic participation and combating corruption. For instance, it was employed in the "Unidos Contra a Corrupção" campaign, a coalition of organizations and social movements in Brazil working to bring anti-corruption measures into the electoral debate and prioritize them in the National Congress.

- How AI is used
- Primarily to transparently cluster participants on topics and identify areas of consensus (like Pol.is). The team behind the platform also uses AI in participatory processes for: - Segmentation of groups via public data - Participatory campaign development - Jargon-free usable language - Usability testing - Simulating participation on the platforms - Processing participatory process data - Training staff to moderate participation processes - Evaluate real-time participation data to flag imbalances in participation (and trigger an intervention) (in use in Brazil's national participation platform) - User support via chatbot, including providing information based on their contributions - Merge feedback from offline participatory channels - Tailored feedback to participants - showing how their participation contributed to the process, at scale - Drive post-process ongoing engagement with participants (From their [webinar on AI usage for digital participation platforms](https://www.youtube.com/live/d6pRBHHWeEQ?si=pENFitO3jC3UCJUl&t=1387): https://www.youtube.com/live/d6pRBHHWeEQ?si=pENFitO3jC3UCJUl&t=1387)
