How Unity Chant Works
A quick guide to participating in talks
What is a Talk?
A Talk is a question posed to a group. Anyone can submit an idea, and together the group narrows down to the strongest answer through small-group discussions and voting.
Your Journey
Join and Submit
Find a Talk on your Feed or browse open talks. Submit your idea — one per person, so make it count.
Discuss in Your Cell
You're placed in a cell with 4 other people and 5 ideas. Read all the ideas, then comment. Upvoted comments spread to other cells discussing the same idea.
Allocate 10 Vote Points
You get 10 Vote Points. Drag the sliders to distribute them across the ideas you support. You can put all 10 on one idea or spread them around — your call.
Winners Advance
The top idea in each cell moves to the next tier. New cells form with the surviving ideas. This repeats until a priority emerges.
Vote Points
Every voter gets 10 Vote Points per cell. This lets you express how strongly you feel, not just which idea you prefer.
All 10 points must be allocated before you can submit.
Comments and Up-Pollination
Tap the chat icon on any idea to comment on it. Your comment is visible to your cell. If others upvote it, it starts spreading to other cells that share the same idea.
When an idea advances to the next tier, the top comment follows it and starts fresh.
Your Feed
How Tiers Work
Each tier cuts ideas by ~80%. With 25 ideas, you need 2 tiers. With 125, you need 3. Even with a million ideas, it only takes 9 tiers.
In the final tier, everyone votes on the remaining ideas — not just the 5 people in a cell. This ensures the winner has broad support.
Rolling Mode
Some talks don't end after a priority is declared. In rolling mode, the talk enters an accepting new ideas phase. New challenger ideas can be submitted, and periodically a new round begins to test whether the priority still holds.
The group's answer can evolve as circumstances change.
Groups
Groups are communities that run talks together. Join a group to see their talks in your feed. Groups can be public or private. Members have roles — owner, admin, or member.
