Swae is a platform that organizations deploy internally in order to open up and increase transparency in the decision making process, include more voices in order to raise the quality, intelligence, and legitimacy of decisions.

Swae leverages AI to help people augment their writing and build better quality proposals to contribute so that their insights can be better understood and their contributions are more than just noise.

Swae includes collaboration, debate, and voting features to help users add their expertise and substance to proposals, to point out flaws and risks, to improve the content, and de-risking the idea/make it more decision-ready. The points of engagement act as signals for determining an idea’s merit.

Managers/administrators can configure workflows, set metrics and thresholds to allow the ideas with the most traction to organically bubble up to a review, feasibility study or decision. Most who have used the platform use the review process to accept/reject an idea and provide public reasoning why. The reasoning they provide helps reinforce users' trust in the process and system, so they continue contributing ideas for the long term.

Swae's platform provides management with a pipeline of coherent, well-articulated bottom-up proposals, to help them make more informed strategy, policy, product, HR and resource allocation decisions, helping them leverage the collective intelligence that resides inside their organization.
