Cortico
Bringing underheard voices to the center of stronger civic spaces
Who we are:
At a time when the deterioration of social and institutional trust is accelerating, we exist to surface underheard voices rather than the loudest; facilitate sharing experiences rather than battling opinions; and promote empathy and connection rather than division and intolerance.
What we do:
In collaboration with the MIT Center for Constructive Communication, Cortico brings people together in recorded small-group conversations to share life experiences, lift underheard voices, and guide informed action. Our approach combines the ancient wisdoms of human dialogue and listening with the growing analytic and connective power of modern AI and scale of digital networks. In the process, your community will strengthen their ability to design, hold, and make sense of meaningful, in-depth conversations about the topics that matter most.
