SpeakUp by Prytaneum

Deliberation infrastructure for public meetings

Structured public comment, live with the meeting.

SpeakUp wraps the video call your organization already uses in a transparent question-and-answer process. Residents ask, back and follow questions in real time; moderators queue, sort and put them on the record — all without moving between tools.

IllustrationMoving illustration of the Riverside — Transit and Fares Hearing on SpeakUp by Prytaneum: a public tag, the meeting title hosted by the Riverside Transit Board, a red Live marker with a rising head count, the Operations Director speaking and gesturing on the call above six participant tiles, a green 'Being asked now' panel carrying the top question, and a right column with Questions and Chat tabs, Top, Recent, My questions and Asked filters, topic chips, and question cards whose backing counts rise as new questions arrive.

Questions from the room

Anyone can submit a question from their phone. The community backs the ones worth answering.

Moderation you can see

A transparent queue takes questions from submitted, to accepted, to asked on the record.
