What Polyeda is
Polyeda is an AI-powered research and experience management platform with a philanthropy offering for measuring impact, monitoring programs, and sharing findings among stakeholders. It supports theory-of-change frameworks, outcome measurement, KPI tracking, and Social Return on Investment (SROI). Data can be gathered from grantees, participants, and field staff across channels, then presented in evaluation reports and dashboards for boards and other stakeholders. Contact-management tools create profiles and track participants, alumni, grantees, and stakeholders over time. Dynamic dashboards, beneficiary-satisfaction analysis, and AI analysis of open-ended responses help surface trends across programs, regions, and beneficiary groups. The wider platform offers customizable surveys with branching, randomization, no-code editing, and AI translation for 75+ languages. Surveys can be distributed through web and social channels, email, SMS, WhatsApp, or API connections. Named integrations include Dynamics 365, Google Sheets, Salesforce, Gmail, and Zendesk. Polyeda states it is ISO/IEC 27001 certified and GDPR compliant. Pricing is on request; the site offers a free trial without specifying its duration.
