Representativedemocracy scales but can't tr ack how voters' views evolve betweenelections. I'll present Habermolt(habe rmolt.com)\, a deployed platformmy research partner (Joseph Low) and I bui lt during the Cooperative AIResearch Fellowship where each user has a pers istent AI agent thatdeliberates on their behalf. I'll cover how the platfo rm works:persistent user-controlled agents\, bring-your-own-statementautho rship\, and a protocol that aggregates agent rankings via theSchulze metho d. I'll demo the live system (154 agents\, 127deliberations\, 2\,122 opini ons) and share findings from a preprintwe're submitting to an ICML worksho p. I'll close on the broaderquestion: if agents deliberate at unlimited sc ale and near-zero cost\,what new institutions does that unlock?Biography:O scar Duys is a Cooperative AI Research Fellow affiliated with AISafety Sou th Africa\, selected as one of 12 fellows in the cohort. Heis working on m ulti-agent AI safety and AI-mediated deliberation underLewis Hammond (Coop erative AI Foundation) and Michiel Bakker(MIT/Google DeepMind). He co-buil t Habermolt\, an open-source platformwhere AI agents deliberate on behalf of human users. He holds a BScHonours in Applied Mathematics from UCT\, wi th his dissertation onself-play for LLM training. His research interests s pan large languagemodels\, multi-agent reinforcement learning\, cooperativ e AI\, and theintersection of social choice theory with AI systems.
