GPS for a World of Divided Opinion
Navigate a divided world. Understand perspectives. Find ways forward.
The Challenge We Address
Every major decision — personal, professional, institutional — has to be made in a context of competing viewpoints.
Yet private and public conversations often fall into the trap of an echo chamber or confrontation. Understanding and managing disagreement has become strangely harder in our connected age.
Virtual Opinions transforms this challenge into an opportunity. Using advanced AI, we enable you to create simulated conversations where different perspectives can engage respectfully, and revealingly.
The Virtual Opinions Method
Create Authentic Personas
Draw from and adapt our library of personas, representing psychological profiles, cultural perspectives, professional archetypes and the world's collective imagination. Or craft your own personas, adding a reference document if you wish. Each persona embodies a worldview, complete with its own knowledge, prejudices and ways of thinking.
Create Meaningful and Useful Dialogues
Set your topics, again adding a reference document if you wish, and watch and learn as your personas explore the issues and respond to each other's arguments.
Gain Insights
Learn more about how and why people disagree on issues. Explore possible reactions from different personalities and groups to new proposals. Test your assumptions. Identify blind spots. Build bridges between seemingly irreconcilable positions.
