What is Social Point?
Social Point by Open Point is a public engagement platform designed to help organizations gather, analyze, and act on community feedback across every stage of a project. The platform helps teams move beyond scattered tools and disconnected processes by bringing participation tools, visual project pages, built-in reporting, and AI-powered insight into one place. It is built for organizations that need to reach broad communities, foster two-way conversations, and ensure public voices inform decisions that shape better outcomes. Social Point by Open Point offers a large toolkit for different participation needs, including forms, social maps, quick polls, Q&A, virtual budgeting, idea boards, story-driven feedback, conversations, and forums. These tools allow participants to share opinions, ask questions, pin location-specific comments, allocate virtual budgets, upload media, discuss topics, and highlight priorities. Organizations can customize tools, fields, designs, and workflows to match their engagement goals and internal processes. Real-time reporting helps teams access community sentiment, identify patterns, and understand feedback as it happens. AI-powered insight supports faster analysis by helping turn large volumes of public input into usable findings.
