Methods and systems for hyperchat and hypervideo conversations across networked human populations with collective intelligence amplification

Abstract

The present disclosure describes systems and methods for enabling real-time conversational dialog among a large population of networked human users while facilitating convergence on groupwise decisions, insights, and solutions, and amplifying collective intelligence. A collaboration server running a collaboration application is provided, wherein the collaboration server is in communication with the plurality of the networked computing devices and each computing device is associated with one user of the population of human participants. In some cases, the collaboration server defines a plurality of sub-groups of human participants. A local chat application configured for displaying a conversational prompt received from the collaboration server is provided on each networked computing device. The local chat application enables real-time communication with other users of a sub-group assigned by the collaboration server. According to some embodiments, the computer mediated collaboration is enabled through communication between the collaboration application and the local chat applications.
