We’re excited to announce a new partnership between Jesters and Fools and Sway AI, bringing meaningful, AI-facilitated dialogue to college campuses, starting with freshman orientation.

Orientation presents a unique opportunity to shape how new students will communicate and engage across differences throughout their college experience. Rather than a lecture, our partnership will provide an interactive and comedic experience, where students can explore their views and discuss controversial issues openly and constructively through one-on-one AI-guided conversations.

Any university that hosts a Jesters and Fools screening will have access to the SwayBeta AI platform, a powerful tool that facilitates conversations that meet students where they are (on their phones, at their pace). These workshops will be available to precede or immediately follow a screening.

In addition to deepening student engagement, these conversations generate anonymized summary insights for institutions, offering a valuable snapshot of emerging themes and patterns of agreement and disagreement, while fully protecting student privacy.

Together, Jesters and Fools and Sway AI are helping campuses build a culture of open inquiry, pluralism, and intellectual humility, starting on day one.
