From the field
Real conversations.
Real insights.
Tide Rise has powered breakout discussions at CincyAI, Cintrifuse, and live demo events across Cincinnati.
“The summary captured the key moments perfectly — we got three pages of insights from a 15-minute conversation that we couldn't have gathered any other way.”

How it works
QR scan to AI insights
in three steps.
No software to install. No accounts for participants. Just a code and a conversation.
Step 1
Create your #RisingTideConvo
Set your discussion question, configure group size and duration. A unique 6-digit code and QR code are generated instantly.
Step 2
Participants self-organize
Attendees scan the QR or enter the code. Each table auto-creates a breakout group in one tap — no logins, no friction.
Step 3
Insights arrive live
Audio streams to Deepgram, transcripts appear in real time, and AI wraps every group into themes, sentiment, and key quotes.

Testimonials
What organizers say.
“We got three pages of insights from a 15-minute conversation that we couldn't have gathered any other way.”
“The setup was so frictionless. Twenty-one tables, twenty-one transcripts, one report in my inbox before I'd even packed up.”
“Real voices, real themes, no one had to take notes. It changed how we run community programming.”
Our story
Started in a basement.
Built for every room.
Helen kept walking out of community events with a notebook full of paraphrased quotes — and the nagging feeling that the most important moments never made it out of the room.
Tide Rise started as a single weekend hack at Big Kitty Labs in Cincinnati: what if every breakout group could write its own report? One year and twenty-plus pilot events later, #RisingTideConvos run across communities, training rooms, and conference halls — capturing what the room actually said, then handing it back in minutes.
