Ask Thoth, in English
Thoth, the site’s AI assistant, answers in English or Arabic from the proposals’ own texts and links every proposal it cites. Try: “What did people in Luxor ask for?” or “Which health proposals are ready to implement?” Its answers are an automated reading and can be wrong; the proposal text on the official platform is always the reference.
How the proposals are read
- Source: every proposal published on egyptforum.gov.eg, read in full, not sampled. The Prime Minister said at the opening that the forum received more than 16,000 ideas and proposals; Kelmet Masr reads the ones published on the platform, so the two numbers differ.
- Completeness: each text is checked for ten elements (problem, implementation, cost and funding, indicators, timeline, expected impact, pilot, international examples, risks, implementing bodies).
- Citizen support: other citizens writing the same idea independently (half the weight), then likes, then comments. Views are not counted, because they can be inflated.
- Places, groups and ministries are counted when the proposal names them.
