Coalesce

An Accessible Mixed-Initiative System for Designing Community-Centric Questionnaires with Generative AI

Prototypes

Coalesce was designed and built to assist civic leaders in crafting tailored and impactful questions for surveys, interviews, and conversation guides. “Our findings show that Coalesce improved participants’ confidence in questionnaire design, supported diverse workflows, and fostered learning while raising important questions about human agency and over-reliance on AI.” (Overney, 2025)
