CollThink
A platform for collective thinking through improvisation, values, and AI
COLLECTIVE THINKING AS A SERVICE
Collective human thinking is the quantum computer
The Theory of Values is the operating system it runs on
The AI layer is the software that makes collective thinking usable
Why people?
Why improvisation?
A fragmenting world demands a new kind of thinking - nonlinear, fast, simultaneous, and directionless by design. Improv games are a perfect match: inherently chaotic, creative, collective
Why the Theory of Values?
To make collective thinking usable, AI needs a system
Theory of Values is a new meta-narrative that uses values to organize everything - from people, products and technologies, to nature, culture, and entire nations - into five fundamental types of change
What does CollThink actually do?
It facilitates structured online and offline improv sessions - solo or in small groups - to generate insight through live thinking
The system:
- Matches people based on values, relevant experience and challenge
- Hosts and guides the session (or plays missing roles in solo mode)
- Provides game formats, prompts, and round structure
- Translates input across languages in real time
- Summarizes key insights at the end
Multiple groups can work on the same challenge in parallel. CollThink connects them - sharing ideas, metaphors, and fragments between sessions in real time
