A network for
voices of reason.
Pollitus is a new social platform for leading thinkers. We poll for critical insights and allow everyone to follow and understand. This way, the best ideas can help guide our world.
Multi-Modal Polling AI.
We can poll via multiple channels in parallel and scale affordably: E-Mail, Phone, SMS, Instagram and Web. Our technology allows the collection of qualitative insights in such amounts that we can quantise them.
