What Is Clarion

What is Clarion?

A clearer view of how a conversation unfolds.

Clarion is CivilTalk's AI conversational intelligence service. With participant consent, it joins a meeting, observes how people communicate, and creates a report that helps them reflect on what was said and how the conversation developed.

Getting started

Uploads accept MP4, MOV, WebM, MP3, WAV, and more, up to 60 minutes. Upload only recordings that everyone in the conversation agreed to.

Consent first. Privacy by design.

Trust starts before a single word is recorded. Clarion shares a consent form in the meeting chat, and each participant reviews and submits their own form. Clarion stays in Waiting until every participant has agreed. Nothing is recorded or transcribed while consent is pending, and its status is always visible to everyone in the room.

Individual consentEvery participant decides for themselves. No one consents on someone else's behalf.
Visible statusEveryone can see whether Clarion is waiting, recording, or paused.
Host controlHosts can pause, stop, or erase a recording at any time.

The Clarion CI Report

See what every conversation is really telling you

After every conversation, Clarion creates a Clarion CI Report that the meeting leader shares with participants. Each report includes a meeting brief, commitments and deadlines, and the positions, agreements, and disagreements on each topic. Unlike a notetaker, the Clarion Conversation Pulse shows the role each participant played, the contributions they made, and the CI skills they demonstrated during the meeting.

Here is what those insights are worth.

Topics · PeopleGenuine alignmentSee where people committed, hesitated, or stayed silent, so doubts get addressed before they become delays.
CommitmentsDecisions carried outKnow what each person agreed to do and by when, so decisions turn into action instead of being reopened.
Brief · PulseFaster executionDecisions people truly support move sooner, with fewer stalls, restarts, and rebuilt plans.
The full reportMeeting time backNo one writes minutes or chases action items, and fewer follow-up meetings are needed.

Clarion is an observer, not a judge. It doesn't decide who is right, score participants, or assess personality or mental health. People remain responsible for interpreting the report and deciding what to do next.
