How AI is used

DirectSuggest is a digital suggestion box designed to help organizations capture ideas from employees and customers. The platform allows users to collaborate on suggestions through voting and commenting, which may help a company identify high-value ideas.

The tool is a Progressive Web App (PWA), allowing users to add the application to their device via a browser without an app store download. It uses AI to route suggestions to designated "Gatekeepers" based on the category and location of the submission.

For administrators, the setup process supports importing employee data, categories, and locations using CSV files. The platform includes different user roles, such as Administrators, Gatekeepers, Staff, and Customers, to manage how feedback is reviewed.

Buyers should confirm whether their organizational structure aligns with the category and location-based routing system and whether they require a customer-facing feedback channel, which is available on a separate pricing tier.
