Mentimeter

Mentimeter is an audience engagement platform for building interactive presentations. It functions by having presenters create slides with live polls, Q&A sessions, and quizzes, which participants access in real time via a code on their devices. The system addresses passive audiences by embedding interactivity directly into presentations. It supports importing existing slides from PowerPoint, Keynote, or PDF files and allows for the export of results into Excel, Image, or PDF formats. An AI feature also provides automatic grouping of open-ended text responses for thematic analysis, while a freemium model offers a basic entry point with daily generation limits. The platform is built for educators, enterprise trainers, and researchers. In a typical workflow, a trainer can embed slides into a PowerPoint Web presentation for live feedback or use the Mentimote phone control for session management. Educators use it to guide learners through complex concepts with structured modules and quizzes. For enterprise deployment, it offers Single Sign-On (SSO) and SCIM for user provisioning, along with LMS integrations and collaborative workspaces with custom permissions. Researchers can use the tool for citation discovery and to summarize academic literature, though complex proofs still require cross-referencing primary sources.
