Qualia Workshops Sign in

The workshop where everyone gets heard, separately and together

Build a slide deck that shows on everyone's phone or laptop, from polls and sticky notes to small groups and interviews by Qualia, our AI, and Qualia helps make sense of it all.

People join with a code on their own device: no app, no account.

    An example agenda, from one of the templates.

    What are you running?

    Try one and it runs with simulated people in a minute or two. Start from one and change anything, or tell Qualia about your workshop and it adapts the template.

    Qualia, the AI assistant built into every workshop

    In every room, for everyone taking part, with nothing to set up. It does the legwork of reading and sorting, so people can spend their time on what they make of it: whether the groupings hold, who belongs where, what was missed.

    • Answers when asked. Anyone writes @qualia in the chat, and Qualia replies in that room.
    • Interviews each person. Your question goes to each person on their own, and Qualia follows up what they write.
    • Writes up what the rooms said. Every room's answers in one summary, for everyone to see, and for you to read first.
    • Plans and builds. Describe a workshop and Qualia writes its steps. Ask for a slide nobody has made, and it writes one, even one the whole room uses together, such as starring the ideas they like most.
    • Puts the groups' maps together. Each group maps what causes what, Qualia combines the maps into one, grouping the same ideas, and the room decides whether the groups hold.

    The join screen tells everyone that an AI takes part. Everything is stored and processed in the EU.

    Room 2 · What have we missed or got wrong?
    PriyaWe keep coming back to bus fares and the waiting list.
    @qualia can you put our room's points in one sentence?
    QualiaYour room says the programme reached people who could get to the evening sessions and missed those who could not, and that the findings leave out the waiting list.

    One example: , step by step

    First, each person on their own: Qualia asks them the question on their own device and follows up what they say, everyone at the same time.

    What has changed for you since the programme started?
    QualiaWhat has changed for you since the programme started?
    I go to the job club every week now, and I've had two interviews.
    QualiaWhat do you think made the difference to getting those interviews?

    Back together, Qualia reads every interview and summarises what people said, without naming anyone, so the room can get straight to what it makes of it.

    What the interviews said
    Written by Qualia from 23 interviews
    • Most describe more confidence: "I put my hand up now".
    • Several have had interviews or found work, and credit the weekly job club more than the courses.
    • Accounts differ on the online training: some found it useful, others could not get online at home.

    In four groups, people talk over what the summary misses or gets wrong, put it on notes on their own devices, and agree with the ones they share.

    Every group's notes side by side on the projector, so the room sees what more than one group said the summary missed.

    The groups' notes stay on screen beside the chat while the room agrees what to follow up first.

    What should we follow up first, and why?
    PriyaThe people who stopped coming. We only heard from those who stayed.
    TomAgreed, and ask them about bus fares and childcare.
    Then the mentors: two groups said that's where the confidence came from.

    A closing card. Every word of a template is yours to change.

    Thank you. Your interviews, and what the groups added, go into the next stage of the evaluation.
