Idea generation
Citizens propose their own solutions, organized into projects, communities and categories — with images, video, audio and map locations.
Our flagship platform — since 2008
Your Priorities
An open-source idea generation, deliberation and decision-making platform connecting governments and citizens — in thousands of projects across over 50 countries.
What you can do
From ideas to decisions, together
Your Priorities empowers groups of any size to speak with one voice and organize around ideas — from a single neighbourhood to a whole nation.
Constructive debate
Instead of comment threads, people add independent points for and against each idea. This unique format keeps debate civil and makes trolling nearly impossible.
Voting and prioritization
Flexible voting with hearts, arrows or custom emoji, and up to four evaluation criteria — so the best ideas rise to the top.
Surveys and polls
From quick polls to advanced surveys with skip logic — gather structured input alongside open idea generation.
Participatory budgeting
Let residents decide how public money is spent. Used in hundreds of participatory budgeting processes together with Open Active Voting.
Secure and inclusive
Government electronic IDs, email or anonymous participation, fraud detection and full GDPR compliance — engagement everyone can trust.
Artificial intelligence, built in
AI that amplifies people — never replaces them
Your Priorities pairs collective intelligence with state-of-the-art AI to make participation easier, safer and more insightful, in any language.
Real-time translation
Automated translation and speech-to-text in nearly 200 languages, so everyone can participate in their own language — side by side.
AI-assisted moderation
Every contribution is automatically screened for toxicity and moderators are alerted instantly — keeping conversations safe and welcoming around the clock.
AI image generation
Generate beautiful images for ideas and projects with built-in AI image creation — no design skills needed.
Built-in agent workflow engine
Design, run and monitor teams of Policy Synth AI agents right inside Your Priorities — research, drafting and evolving solutions, with human votes always in the loop.
AI analytics
Automatic clustering of ideas, topic analysis and rich dashboards turn thousands of contributions into clear, actionable insight.
“AI is a tool to enhance human intelligence and creativity — not replace it.”
Public-sector workflows
Built for real participation programs
Beyond the public-facing experience, Your Priorities includes the operational tools teams need to run formal consultations, participatory budgeting and long-running engagement programs.
Data export and API
Export ideas, debate points, survey answers and user data to Excel or Word, and connect projects to other systems through API keys.
Admin workflow tools
Manage thousands of ideas with statuses, bulk updates, templates and automated messages that keep participants informed as ideas move through review.
Analytics and promotion
Plausible-based usage analytics, AI clustering, word clouds, process maps and promotion tools help teams understand and grow participation.
Cloud or self-hosted
Use our hosted nonprofit cloud service, including free support when budgets are not available, or self-host the open-source platform with Docker.
Mobile-first PWA
Communities work well on phones, tablets and desktops, can be installed on home screens, and are designed for participation in the field.
Custom projects
Configure communities, groups, stages, help pages, registration questions, themes and fonts to match the process and institution.
