# Pollzy

> AI-powered live polling, quizzes, and Q&A for presentations, education, and business.

Pollzy is an interactive audience engagement platform that enables hosts to create live polling sessions in seconds using AI. Describe what you need in plain English, and Pollzy generates complete sessions with polls, quizzes, word clouds, Q&A, and more.

## Why Pollzy?

Three things set Pollzy apart:

1. **Speed**: Go from idea to live session in 30 seconds. No templates, no setup wizards.
2. **Web-Aware AI**: Our AI has real-time web knowledge, not static training data with cutoff dates. Ask about current events, recent trends, or industry news.
3. **Modern Interface**: Clean glassmorphic design focused on your content, not game-show aesthetics.
