What does Go Vocal do?

Engage — Expand participation by combining a wide range of innovative engagement methods, whether in-person, digital, or hybrid. From surveys and ideation to participatory budgeting and proposals, Go Vocal empowers communities to share input across the full participation spectrum — and brings offline voices online through tools like OCR technologies and offline document repository.

Manage — Take full control of your projects: create, edit, and collaborate with your team through structured workflows. Plan projects with schedules, phases, and approval flows. Use internal commenting, advanced permission settings, and visibility controls to keep things secure and organized. Manage incoming input, provide official updates, and change idea statuses to build trust with participants. A built-in moderation suite keeps dialogue safe and constructive throughout.

Decide — Go Vocal's AI-powered Sensemaking tool is purpose-built for participation. It empowers project managers and administrators to analyze vast amounts of textual and quantitative data in real time — surfacing what communities truly care about, identifying trends, and generating rich insights to support strategic, data-driven decisions. From interactive dashboards to one-click reports, turn community input into understanding, and understanding into action.
