A new civic technology platform launched in March aims to help communities move beyond online discussion and toward coordinated action.
Convexus, founded by Merrill Keating, is designed for governments, civic organizations and community groups seeking more structured ways to facilitate public dialogue and decision-making. The platform organizes conversations into a three-step process — Explore, Align, Act — guiding participants from sharing perspectives to identifying common ground and ultimately taking action.
The platform incorporates AI-assisted facilitation to identify areas of agreement, elevate constructive contributions and support more productive conversations, while keeping human moderators in control of outcomes.
“Communities everywhere are facing increasingly complex challenges, yet the digital spaces where people gather to discuss them often amplify division rather than progress,” Keating said. “Convexus was created to help communities rediscover something essential: the ability to listen, find common ground, and move forward together.”
A live demonstration of the platform is now available, and the company is inviting a limited number of organizations to participate in pilot programs.
