Background

In times of increasing polarization and superficial debates, the Background App offers a space for genuine exchange. Our mission is to foster dialogue on controversial topics and help you understand opinions that differ from your own – without the hurdles of populism and social media echo chambers.

What makes the Background App unique:

- Quality over quantity: We value substantive discussions. Creator accounts can post a maximum of one debate per day to ensure the quality of contributions and facilitate deeper discussions.

- Personalized discussion experience: By asking general questions about your worldviews, the app enhances your discussion experience. Your data remains secure and is never shared with third parties.

- Breaking filter bubbles: We connect you anonymously in one-on-one chats with other users. This way, you'll discover new perspectives, broaden your horizons, and escape your filter bubble. A feedback system ensures that you're connected with people who are genuinely interested in serious discussions.

- AI-powered conflict analysis: Our "Background AI" identifies the deep-seated triggers of disagreements – be it distrust of science in vaccine debates or other underlying beliefs. This understanding enables more productive and focused conversations.

Why you need Background:

We firmly believe that constructive exchange about difficult topics is crucial to overcoming divisions in society and creating greater understanding and cohesion. The Background app is your tool for meaningful conversations that build bridges instead of walls.

Join a community that values informed exchange and mutual understanding. Begin your journey to deeper, more insightful discussions today.
