What specific problem are you solving?
After 20 years working in international economic development, I observed that aid recipients had very little say in what was delivered to them and how. AIKKA is a feedback tool that allows beneficiaries all over the world to quickly share spoken voice feedback, in their own words, and in their own languages. AIKKA has collected spoken voice feedback from hundreds of individuals, most of whom have never been asked for their views, opinions, ideas, or solutions. Now, they are being heard and actively taking part in improving their work environments, communities, and co-creating solutions at scale. AIKKA is the ultimate tool to power "bottoms-up" -- instead of "top-down" -- solutions.
What is your solution?
AIKKA is an AI-powered smartphone-based feedback gathering tool. It puts power into the hands of beneficiaries, giving them a microphone to share their ideas, needs, and aspirations. AIKKA makes it easy for a sponsor to create a questionnaire with a variety of question formats and push it out to thousands of respondents. Unlike other survey tools, AIKKA collects open-ended, unstructured, nuanced voice-based feedback. AIKKA allows respondents to talk for up to five full minutes per question, transcribes the responses word for word, and synthesizes the main themes and sentiments that were expressed by the population. AIKKA utilizes APIs that connect to widely available open source large language models (LLMs) and runs on proprietary algorithms. Sponsor organizations that use AIKKA can collect voice feedback from thousands of respondents, and within minutes, have key insights distilled.
Who does your solution serve, and in what ways will the solution impact their lives?
By 2030 our mission is to amplify over one million voices around the world and demonstrate how constituent feedback can influence product and service delivery in marginalized communities. We are on track to amplify over 1,000 voices this year, and the feedback we have gathered through AIKKA has already influenced the creation of three different employment-focused programs for people living in low-income communities. This is only the start of us showing how beneficiary feedback is the most valuable input for program design, and how empowering it is for constituents to play a role in co-creating the products and services that are intended to serve them.
