Go Vocal
A community engagement platform empowering local governments to drive civic participation projects and analyze citizen feedback using AI, formerly known as CitizenLab.
What is Go Vocal?
Go Vocal is a community engagement platform originating from Belgium, formerly known as CitizenLab. It helps local governments and public sector organizations plan and execute citizen participation projects—such as idea sourcing, proposals, voting, and consultations—while leveraging artificial intelligence to analyze vast amounts of public feedback and opinions.
What Problems Does It Solve?
When formulating policies or public infrastructure projects, local governments frequently need to gather public opinion. However, manually sorting through hundreds or thousands of comments and survey responses is slow and prone to missing key insights, often rendering civic participation superficial. Go Vocal provides an end-to-end toolkit from project design and feedback collection to AI analysis, rapidly synthesizing scattered public input into readable themes and trends so decision-makers can easily understand what citizens care about. This not only enhances the efficiency of public participation but also fosters more transparent government communication. It is ideal for city halls, local councils, and public sector departments focusing on civic engagement, urban planning, and communications. AI-driven analysis should still be paired with human review to prevent the oversimplification of diverse public opinions.
