Wowza is about to change the game with its new collaboration on Jotto, a cutting-edge feedback platform created by Quadrant 2. This innovative tool focuses on civic and community innovation, allowing organizations to gather feedback through video, audio, and text in real time. Essentially, it’s about engaging people and transforming basic input into insights they can use.
Recently, Jotto even got a nod for the IBC Innovation Award 2025 in the Social Impact category for its impressive impact on civic engagement, service to the community, and grassroots empowerment. It’s part of Quadrant 2’s impressive record of justice work, collaborating for over ten years with organizations like the ACLU, Latino Justice, and OurWalmart/United for Respect.
Quadrant 2, working alongside Wowza, has made mobile video a critical tool in the fight for social justice. Their “Mobile Justice” app, specially branded for the ACLU, lets citizens document their interactions with law enforcement on the go and upload evidence for public access and legal review. Since launching, it has helped over 151 million individuals across the country.
From this foundation arose Jotto, a next-generation platform that utilizes video, audio, and text to gather comprehensive community feedback. This platform strives to turn streaming and AI into the catalysts for civic empowerment and structural changes.
With Jotto, organizations can tap into real-time insights gathered from community feedback. Combining multimedia inputs directly with Wowza’s streaming capabilities feeds an AI engine that deciphers sentiments, uncovers themes, and relays immediate visuals to decision-makers.
Here are some cool features:
- Real-time multimedia capture: The ones powering Jotto’s live engagement are Wowza’s streaming and recording technologies, enabling smooth submissions of video, audio, and text all-in-one.
- AI-driven analysis: The bulk of the feedback collected is instantly processed by Jotto’s AI engine, which picks apart sentiments, trends, and themes, ensuring key players get rich and actionable reports.
- Scalable cloud environment: Jotto runs on Wowza’s adaptable cloud framework, which effortlessly scales from small community gatherings to large entertainment events.
Users of the Jotto platform have noted up to a 50% increase in feedback rates. The AI-generated visual reports have not only boosted audience engagement but have substantially elevated satisfaction and strategic insight across sectors like government, political campaigns, business development, and event management.
Barry Owen, Wowza’s chief solution architect, emphasized, “Wowza’s dependable streaming and recording skills were crucial to achieving our immediate feedback goals. By fusing Stream Recorders with Jotto’s AI, we can convert raw input into strategic insights quickly and effectively.”
If you’re curious to see it in person, Wowza will showcase this ground-breaking technology at IBC 2025, located at Stand 5.F81. For those interested, be sure to reach out through aleisha.seubert@wowza.com to arrange a meeting.
