Meetings where everyone answers, not just the loudest
Put the decision to the whole team as a poll, run the retro as an anonymous word cloud, and see the result on the shared screen before anyone has to argue for it. People join from a link, no accounts.
Free to start, no credit card. Or try one live question first: no account, up to five people.
Where meetings stall
The agenda is fine. It is the moment a decision is needed that eats the hour.
“Shall we go round the room?”
Twenty minutes of opinions in seniority order, and the result is whatever the last person said.
Only the brave speak
Ask “what went badly?” out loud and you hear the safe answers. Ask it anonymously and you hear the real ones.
Lost in the notes
The decision lives in someone's minutes, if anyone took them. The export has the numbers the same afternoon.
Decide, reflect, and leave with it written down
Polls, word clouds and written discussion in one session, one export.
Decisions by the whole team
Options on screen, everyone picks, the split appears live. Decided in front of the team, not after it in a thread.
How polls work →Retros without the silence
“One word for this sprint” builds into a word cloud as people type. Anonymous, so the quiet half shows up too.
How word clouds work →Reasons in writing
Open questions the team answers in writing, with the answers people agree with rising to the top.
How discussions work →Straight into the minutes
Every poll, word cloud and discussion exports to CSV or Excel the moment the meeting ends.
How exports work →Works wherever the meeting is

Trusted by facilitators like you.
“Facilitator tools is simple yet powerful. I can lead discussions with a room full of people and gain immediate feedback and insights. A lot of tools offer polling, but Facilitator Tools enables me to lead a strategic discussion with as many minds as I can fit in the room.”

Can the answers be anonymous?
Yes. Polls and word clouds can be anonymous, so a retro gets honest answers and a decision is not shaped by who is watching.
Does it work on Zoom?
Yes. The Zoom app runs the session inside the meeting. On Teams, Google Meet or any other call, share your screen and people join from the link.
