Use case: Local Government & Public Sector

Consultations citizens actually finish.

Replace static forms and 30-page PDF surveys with a short AI conversation. Multilingual, voice-first, structured data out. GDPR-compliant and EU-hosted.

Public consultation is broken. Everyone knows it.

The form nobody finishes.Two-thirds of respondents abandon online forms before the end. On long consultation forms, it's worse. The people you most want to hear from, busy entrepreneurs, working parents, small associations, drop off first.
One language per form.Brussels runs in FR and NL. Flanders serves FR and English-speaking residents too. Every added language doubles the work, and the translations drift.
Free-text in, manual coding out.Open questions give you honest answers, but someone has to read 400 paragraphs and tag them. Usually a stagiaire. Sometimes a consultant. Always slow.
Insight lands too late.By the time the report is written, the window to act on it has closed. The next call for input goes out, and the cycle repeats.

How it works

1

Describe the consultation

"I'm running a sustainability self-assessment for local businesses. I want to understand where they stand on energy, mobility, waste, and social impact, and what support they'd need to improve."

2

AI builds the conversation

Unformal generates the right questions, follow-ups, and adaptive inputs (sliders for scoring, chips for quick selection, voice for open answers). Multilingual out of the box.

3

Share a link

Email it, put it on your website, include it in a campaign. Works on any phone, no app install. Citizens can reply in the language they prefer.

4

Review structured results

Every respondent gets an Echo (structured summary of their answers). Across all respondents, Resonance surfaces the consensus, the divergence, and the themes worth acting on.
