Governments manage some of the most complex innovation programs in the world—and they’re sitting on a goldmine of unstructured feedback. IdeaScale AI helps agencies unlock that value. This new module automatically analyzes ideas, comments, and votes to produce four impactful visualizations—giving you decision-ready insights in minutes, not months.
And it all runs inside your data boundary. By default, IdeaScale AI uses open-source LLMs (like Llama) hosted securely within your GovCloud or on-prem environment. No data is ever sent to third-party APIs unless you explicitly opt in—ensuring full compliance with your agency’s security policies and keeping your information fully contained.
With just a few clicks, users select a community, campaign, and time range. The system then generates:
- A weighted Word Cloud of dominant themes
- A Feasibility vs. Impact matrix to prioritize action
- A Program Health spider chart measuring originality, inclusivity, and more
- A Theme + Sentiment report showing what your stakeholders support—or challenge
For deeper insight, the Comparative Analysis feature reveals what sets standout ideas apart—giving public sector teams a clear view into what’s working, what’s rising, and what’s next.
Why It Matters for Government:
- Secure by default: runs fully inside your data boundary, no OpenAI calls required
- Backed by evidence: tie decisions to structured analysis, not anecdote
- Built for sharing: export visual reports for leadership or cross-agency collaboration
- Time-saving: eliminate manual review of hundreds of ideas
Quick Takeaways:
- Transforms unstructured idea data into structured, visually-rich insights
- Includes word clouds, sentiment heatmaps, feasibility/impact mapping, and innovation health scores
- Enables comparative analysis across different groups or campaigns
- Exportable charts for reports, decks, and presentations
- Secure by design: supports internal LLMs for restricted environments (e.g., GovCloud)
