During the last Foresight Intelligent Cooperation Workshop I got very curious about what collective intelligence tools currently exist. A list:

Pol.is: "Input Crowd, Output Meaning"
Inspired Twitter/X community notesPeople: Colin Megill, et al.
Collective Intelligence Project
vibe: democratic AI, “How AI and Democracy Can Fix Each Other”People: Divya Siddharth, Saffron Huang, et al.
AI Objectives Institute
Talk to the City: "an open-source LLM interface for improving collective deliberation and decision-making by analyzing detailed, qualitative data. It aggregates responses and arranges similar arguments into clusters."AI Objectives Institute works closely with the Taiwanese government.Other projects in development.People: Colleen McKenzie, Değer Turan, et al.
Meaning Alignment Institute
vibe: democratic AI, kinda. I think they think that if you can help individuals make wiser decisions, at scale, then this converges to be equivalent with solving outer alignment.
Remesh
Similar to pol.is AFAIK? I haven't played with it.People: Andrew Konya, et al.
Loomio: "a flexible decision-making tool that helps you create a more engaged and collaborative culture, build trust and coordinate action"Deliberative Technology for Alignment paper
They also discuss other tools for this use like Discord, Snapshot, DembranePeople: Andrew Konya, Deger Turan, Aviv Ovadya, Lina Qui, Daanish Masood, Flynn Devine, Lisa Schirch, Isabella Roberts, and Deliberative Alignment ForumSomeone in the know told me to only read sections 4 and 5 of this paper
Plurality Institute
People: David Bloomin, Rose Bloomin, et al.Also working on some de-escalator bots for essentially Reddit comment wars
Lots of crypto projects
Quadratic votingGitcoinMetagov: “a laboratory for digital governance”Soulbound tokensVarious voting and aggregation systems, liquid democracy
DecidemDecide MadridConsider.itStanford Online Deliberation PlatformLightcone Chord (in development)
Brief descriptionPeople: Jacob Lagerros (LessWrong)
All of the prediction markets
Manifold, Kalshi, Metaculus, PredictIt, etc.
Midjourney has a Collective Intelligence Team now according to Ivan Vendrov’s website. I couldn’t find any other information online.

What about small group collective intelligence tools?

Most of the examples above are for large group collective intelligence (which I’m defining as ~300 people or much larger). But what about small groups? Are there tools that will help me coordinate with 30 friends? Or just one friend? I’m mostly unaware of any recent innovations for small group collective intelligence tools. Do you know of any?

Nexae (in development)
“Nexae Systems builds sociotechnical infrastructure to enable the creation of new types of businesses and organizations.” 
I’m surprised I haven’t heard of any LLM-facilitated communication tools ??

Medium group (~30-300 people) projects: 

Jason Benn’s unconference tools, eg Idea Ranker.

Other lists

@exgenesis short tweet thread. Couple things I haven’t listed here.Plurality Institute’s (WIP) map of related orgs, etc.Know of any I should add?

Opportunities 

RFP: Interoperable Deliberative Tools | interop, $200k. Oops this closed before I published this post.Metagov is running https://metagov.org/projects/ai-palace which seems similar
