The Prytaneum online town hall platform improves on the design of the existing conferencing and webinar platforms by creating powerful features to enhance interactive engagement among community participants, at scale, and draws on AI tools to facilitate constructive and effective moderation of community input.  Prytaneum is designed to create a constructive and engaged experience for community members and public officials alike, as they work collaboratively to solve important policy problems. The web-based platform combines a research-tested user interface with the power of artificial intelligence to enable and routinize direct, constructive democratic engagement.  

See a video explaining the platform here. This is a talk Esterling gave at the University of Oregon Wayne Morse Center for Law and Politics in April, 2024.

Here is a one-pager about Prytaneum from the California State Library.
