Cicero is a mobile platform that reimagines the traditional public square for a digital space. The app allows users engage in debates - or what we call a "Rō" - over live video on a any topic from sports and entertainment to politics and business. Create a public or invite-only private Rō, observe and/or participate in the discussion, and applaud strong or persuasive arguments. Then, at the conclusion, Cicero will reveal the winner, providing detailed statistics from the entire debate. At Cicero, all sides of an issue have equal time to make their case, so the strongest arguments will ultimately prevail. With some platforms you may have the opportunity to be heard, now, with Cicero, you can be seen.
