PollyLoop, the survey and real-time feedback platform Esirom built in Jamaica, now has two tools for research run in the room rather than after it: Loop Live and TapIn. PollyLoop launched in April 2026. Its public ship log dates TapIn to March 2026 and Loop Live’s presentation mode to early April 2026.
What shipped
Loop Live is a presentation mode. The audience joins a survey by QR code or link. Spotlight shows one question at a time on the big screen. When the host is signed in, phones follow the presenter. Text answers feed a live word cloud. It also has quiz mode with a leaderboard, and audience Q&A with upvotes and host moderation.
TapIn starts with a one-tap poll from a QR code, Instagram or event signage. Respondents can see live results, then take an optional follow-up of up to seven questions. Source tags separate the hall QR from social. Results export to CSV.
Both sit in the same account as the survey builder, the rewards panel, AI executive summaries and Data Stories, which publish a completed survey as a shareable results page.
Why it matters for in-room research
Caribbean launches, festivals, conferences and public consultations put the people a brand wants to hear from in one place. A form sent days later reaches whoever opens it, often staff and regulars. Asking in the room reaches the audience that was actually there.
There are fair alternatives. Google Forms is still the right tool for an RSVP or an internal poll. Mentimeter and Slido cover live audience polling. PollyLoop’s comparison page sets out where it differs.
What this means. For Caribbean brands, event producers and research teams, the live room is a sample, not just an audience. The readout can arrive the same week. An AI summary is a first cut. Someone still has to read and edit it before it goes to a client.
What to do. Before your next event, write down the decision the research has to inform. Run one question on screen and count how many people in the room answer. Before you put percentages in a slide, check who responded. If you collect names, emails or phone numbers, know how that data is held under Jamaica’s Data Protection Act, whatever tool you use.
