Every voice that matters,
heard at scale.
Your stakeholders, heard on their own time, and reported like senior consulting work.
The focus areas we run today
Everyone is pointing AI at documents and systems. The information that decides things lives in people's heads, and it only comes out in conversation. Candidly AI holds those conversations for you. The people you need to hear from call a dedicated line and talk through your questions with an intelligent agent, whenever it suits them. Our team reads every transcript and delivers a themed findings report in their own words, with every participant quoted. The whole population heard, not just the sample you had time to schedule.
Pick a focus area to see who it is for, the problem it solves, and how it runs.
Consulting
Hear every stakeholder, not just the fifteen you could schedule.
Who it is for
Consulting firms, advisors, and innovation bodies whose engagements include a discovery phase, from boutique consultancies to organizations that assess many sites, like a health-innovation network hearing from hospitals across the country.
The problem
Every engagement you sell has a discovery phase, and you scope twelve interviews because that is what fits inside the fee. Your senior people spend their hours on scheduling and transcription, your client receives conclusions built on a sample, and your next RFP asks how you use AI in delivery. A sample is harder to defend than the whole population, and the hours are gone either way.
How Candidly AI works here
Point the consultation at one engagement's discovery phase. Every stakeholder calls in on their own time and talks through their current-state challenges, what works, and what good would look like. Your team receives a polished, themed report you present to your client as your own deliverable, and your people spend their hours on the analysis your client is paying senior rates for.
The same instrument, pointed inward
Run a current-state assessment with your own past clients. They call in and talk about where things stand now and where they are stuck, you hear the work you are well placed to take on, and your warmest relationships stop sitting quiet. One reactivated client at a typical services deal size covers the engagement several times over.
The return
Full-population coverage inside the margin and on the date, senior hours redirected to higher-value work, and a client-visible answer to the AI question on your next bid. Self-hosted, sovereign stack, ISO 27001 Certified and SOC 2 Type II Audited. Candidly AI Sovereign stores conversation data in Canada.
You keep the analysis, the margin, and the byline. Candidly AI takes the interviews.
Government
Give every resident a way to be heard, and prove that you did.
Who it is for
CAOs and legislative services leads at municipalities heading into a decision residents care about: a budget, a strategic plan, a land use question, a facility closure.
The problem
When council votes on something contested, nobody attacks the decision. They attack the process. The gallery fills, the petition circulates, the question becomes why residents were not asked, and the record is one open house that a few dozen people attended. Section 216.1 of the Municipal Government Act commits you to public participation, and POPA raises the privacy bar on any new tool that touches resident data. When the challenge comes, a thin record is the whole case against you.
How Candidly AI works here
Take the question your community is already talking about, such as how residents feel about a proposed data centre, and publish a line they can call. Residents share their views when it suits them, including the many who would never make it to an evening meeting. Before council votes, you hold a themed report of what they said and a clear record that every resident was invited and heard, the way your policy sets out.
The return
The reach of an engagement team without adding headcount, for less than the cost of a single facilitated process. Candidly AI is self-hosted on sovereign infrastructure, ISO 27001 Certified and SOC 2 Type II Audited, with documentation that supports your privacy impact assessment.
The decision survives because the process does. Candidly AI puts the record on your side before the vote.
Education
Understand your students while the term is still ahead of you, and hold the evidence when the review arrives.
Who it is for
Program directors, associate deans, and professors accountable for a program review, an accreditation visit, or a new program approval, and for the student experience behind it.
The problem
Your program review is on the calendar, and the student-voice evidence is a course evaluation a fraction of the class completed after the course was already over. That is what goes in front of the panel, and it arrived too late to improve the teaching it measured.
How Candidly AI works here
A start-and-end pair for the courses that matter. Before the term, incoming students call a line and share what they want from the course, what they already know, and what they are unsure about, so the professor can shape the class around the students in front of them. At the end of the term, a second agent gathers candid feedback in the students' own words, with the depth a rating scale cannot capture. Run it across a program's core courses and the review file builds itself, term by term.
The return
Full-population student voice, dated and themed, ready for program review and accreditation, with little staff effort, plus a pre-course intake that evaluations do not provide. Reporting is anonymized. Candidly AI Sovereign runs models on infrastructure we operate in Canada, with no calls to third-party model APIs.
The file is full-population, dated, and ready before the visit. Candidly AI gathers it while there is still time to act on it.
Employee Engagement
The why behind your engagement score, in your people's own words.
Who it is for
People and HR leaders whose survey results just landed, or who are facing a moment the survey cannot handle: a restructuring, a run of departures on a critical team, a new mandate to find out what is really going on.
The problem
In 2021, The Workforce Institute at UKG found that two in three employees feel their voice has been ignored at work, and a survey cannot fix that, because a survey cannot hear anything it did not think to ask. So the results land, the score drops, and leadership owes the board an action plan built on a number with no explanation.
How Candidly AI works here
Employees call a dedicated line, anonymous if you want it to be, and talk, in their own words, about what is working and what is not. No one is asked their name, there is no menu and no forced ranking, so the issue nobody thought to ask about is free to come up. Every participant is quoted at least once in the report, so your people can see they were heard.
The return
An action plan built from what people said rather than what they scored, and lower regretted attrition. A single avoided departure on a key team can cover an engagement. Reporting is anonymized. Candidly AI Sovereign runs models on infrastructure we operate in Canada, with no calls to third-party model APIs.
A survey hears the answers it offered. Candidly AI hears your people, and proves it: every participant, quoted.
And every week we find a new one.
These are the focus areas we run today. They are not the limit. Wherever a decision depends on hearing people at a scale that interviews cannot reach, Candidly AI fits. We have watched clients point it at places we never planned for, and that list keeps growing.
