Hyperchat and Hypervideo: Enabling Real-time Groupwise Conversations at Unlimited Scale

This paper explores the promise of a novel generative AI technology called Conversational Swarm Intelligence (CSI), or simply Hyperchat. It was developed to enable thoughtful real-time conversations among networked human groups of potentially unlimited size, empowering large, distributed teams to quickly discuss complex issues, brainstorm ideas, share information, debate alternatives and converge on solutions that leverage their combined knowledge, expertise, and insight. Not only does hyperchat enable thoughtful discussions at unprecedented scale, it also leverages the power of AI to amplify the collective intelligence of large groups, quickly surfacing solutions that significantly outperform traditional methods in depth, accuracy, and insight. In addition, hyperchat supports large-scale deliberations among hybrid groups of human participants and “Contributor Agents,” fostering collaborative problem solving by leveraging the informational power of AI agents while ensuring human values, morals, sensibilities, and interests remain inherently in the loop.
