Sound familiar?

Every group has a decision-making bottleneck.

47-message group threads that end with "idk, you pick"

Plans that fizzle because nobody actually committed to a call

The loudest voice wins instead of the best idea

Better ideas in. Better decisions out. One link.

See it in action

Three steps. Under a minute. Better ideas in, better decisions out.

Decide

Find the option everyone can stand behind

Lumen scores every option across rating, consensus, and participation — finding the pick that satisfies the most people, even when preferences pull in different directions.

Ideate

Add options — or let AI suggest some

Add ideas yourself, or get AI-generated options tailored to your topic. Then everyone weighs in with star ratings, token allocation, or single choice. Nothing gets overlooked.

From dinner plans to product plans

Wherever a group needs to make a call — Lumen helps you brainstorm stronger options and land on the best one.

Three ways to vote

Different decisions call for different methods. Pick the one that fits your group.

Star Rating

Rate each option 1–5 stars. Best when every option has trade-offs and you want everyone's nuanced take — vacation spots, restaurant picks, sprint priorities.

Token Voting

Allocate limited points across options. Forces real prioritization when you can't pick everything — budget calls, group itineraries, gift-list trimming.

Single Choice

One vote, one pick. Fast and decisive when you just need a commitment — what movie tonight, which vendor, which paint color.

Vote together or on your own time

Not every group is in the same room — or timezone. Lumen works either way.

Synchronous

Live Voting

Everyone votes at the same time. Results update in real time. Perfect when the group's together — dinner table, planning meeting, watch party.

Asynchronous

Async Voting

People vote on their own time. Results are revealed once everyone has weighed in. Built for distributed teams, cross-timezone friend groups, and anyone too busy for another call.

AI — Ideas + Insights

Generate options. Surface signal.

Stuck on what to even put up for a vote? Lumen's AI suggests options tailored to your topic. Once votes come in, it surfaces the themes, splits, and consensus your group might have missed — so you find the call everyone can live with, not the loudest one.
