How Synthetron works
Your participants - up to 2000 per session - can access the online platform with one click - no downloads required. And they don't need a lot of bandwidth to participate from their tablet or laptop.
During the session, participants share their opinions, assess and build on each other's ideas — in real-time. Our unique evolutionary crowdsourcing algorithm enables participants to identify the most supported ideas.
Attendees feel valued and engaged, and you'll immediately receive the input you need to move forward.

Frequently Asked Questions
In the Synthetron software, all written messages must be evaluated by other participants. The messages are first sent to 4 other participants; if they strongly agree, the message goes' viral 'to other participants in steps.
Because participants review each other's messages, they provide each other with answer options, so you get a much more complete picture than with ordinary open questions in a survey.
In almost all dialogues, there are things that are not easy to say. Maybe because they're critical, controversial, or just feeling a little bit embarrassing. We know from experience that anonymity improves the truth and depth of dialogue.
Absolutely! Synthetron is a global platform that supports multi-language dialogue. Currently, our platform is available in the following languages:
- English
- Spanish
- Dutch
- French
- German
- Danish
- Polish
- Italian
- Russian
We've had discussions with 6 participants, but they work best if you have more. 30 is a good minimum number to aim for, although smaller groups also make sense when discussing sensitive topics.
We do not store any personal information. For our software to work, we generate a unique ID for each user that is completely random, and we store a cookie on your device. This is to ensure that if you lose the connection, you can pick up where you left off.
All participants receive a random identification code by the system. We don't know who someone is. What we do know is what each code number (a single anonymous participant) did, so we can look for patterns related to segments.

In the Synthetron software, all written messages must be rated by other participants. Messages are first sent to 4 other participants; if they receive high support, the message goes 'viral' in stages to other participants. Because participants rate each other's messages, they provide each other with answer options, giving you a much more complete picture than with standard open-ended survey questions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Synthetron different from an online survey?
In the Synthetron software, all written messages must be rated by other participants. Messages are first sent to 4 other participants; if they receive high support, the message goes 'viral' in stages to other participants. Because participants rate each other's messages, they provide each other with answer options, giving you a much more complete picture than with standard open-ended survey questions.
Why does it need to be anonymous?
In almost every dialogue, there are things that are not easy to say in a group conversation. Perhaps because they are critical, controversial, or just feel a bit embarrassing. We know from experience that anonymity improves the truthfulness and depth of the dialogue.
Can Synthetron handle dialogues in multiple languages?
Absolutely! Synthetron is a global platform that supports dialogues in multiple languages: English, Spanish, Dutch, French, German, Danish, Polish, Italian, and Russian.
Is Synthetron suitable for any group size?
We have held discussions with 6 participants, but they work best when you have more. 30 is a good minimum to aim for, although smaller groups can also be useful when discussing sensitive topics.
How does Synthetron ensure data privacy and security?
We do not store any personal data. To make our software work, we generate a unique, completely random ID for each user and store a cookie on your device so you can continue if you lose your connection.
Is anonymity guaranteed?
The system assigns a random identification code to all participants. We do not know who anyone is. What we do know is what each code number did, allowing us to look for patterns related to segments.
