1. About Panelope
Panelope is an AI-powered verified community engagement platform. We provide tools for civic research, public opinion measurement, community polling, stakeholder engagement, and qualitative insight discovery. Our Services enable organizations and individuals to create, distribute, and analyze surveys, polls, interviews, and related engagement activities across civic, political, nonprofit, corporate, and research contexts.
2. Eligibility
You must be at least 16 years of age to use our Services. If you are between 16 and the age of majority in your jurisdiction, you represent that your parent or legal guardian has reviewed and consents to these Terms. We do not knowingly collect information from individuals under 16.
3. Account Registration
Certain features of our Services require account registration. When you register, you agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity under your account. Notify us immediately if you suspect unauthorized access.
4. Use of Services
You agree to use our Services only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms. You shall not:

5. AI-Powered Features
Our Services incorporate artificial intelligence technologies to enhance engagement quality and analytical depth. AI is used for:
- Poll and survey design assistance — helping creators craft effective questions
- Adaptive interview follow-ups — AI-guided conversational exploration of topics based on your responses, with a maximum of three follow-up rounds in total per engagement
- Response analysis and clustering — identifying patterns, themes, and emerging topics across responses
- Report generation — interactive querying of results
AI-generated outputs are analytical tools, not editorial positions. Panelope does not endorse, promote, or advocate for any political position, candidate, or policy. AI interactions are designed for neutrality and are monitored for bias.
