Why facilitation, why now
Group conversations are hard. The loudest voice dominates. The agenda drifts. People get talked over. Volunteers running peer support, mediators handling difficult conversations, board chairs managing AGMs — they all spend more energy keeping order than engaging with the substance.
TriLuna’s AI facilitator handles the order. You handle the substance.
Four facilitation modes
You don’t have to pick one. The mode can change mid-meeting.
1. Observer
The AI joins, mutes itself, and listens. It receives the full audio stream but never speaks unless explicitly invoked. Useful for transcription, post-meeting summaries, or when a human facilitator wants AI as a silent backstop.
2. On-Call
Stays muted by default. Unmutes only when addressed by name (“Hey TriLuna, summarize what we just decided”). Re-mutes after speaking. Best for board meetings where the AI is on standby for definitions, motion-tracking, or quick lookups.
3. Facilitator (Active)
The AI runs the meeting. Introduces participants, calls on speakers in order, mutes non-speakers, advances turns on a timer, and intervenes when the conversation stalls. Best for peer support, structured mediation, and timed entertainment formats like trivia.
4. Facilitator Assist
The AI defers to a human moderator. The moderator says “AI, mute Sarah” or “AI, advance the turn” and the AI executes. Combines AI’s reliable execution with the moderator’s social judgement.
How it works
1. Schedule a meeting with TriLuna → AI dials out to participants
2. Conference starts → AI joins on its own line
3. Participants are added → AI loads the agenda, member list, and rules
4. Meeting runs → AI manages mute state, turn order, time
5. Meeting ends → Optional: AI generates a summary
No app installs for participants. They join over the phone (or video, on the Facilitator Video plan). The AI is built on Twilio’s conference infrastructure and ElevenLabs’ voice engine — the same stack we use for our 1:1 receptionists.
