Dilmot is an Internet tool to publish live Q&A sessions

In a similar way to a web publishing platform, Dilmot allows you to publish live Q&A sessions. It works as a standalone website, and you can also embed it in your own web.

WHAT IS DILMOT

THE STREAM

Publish the stream

Stream is the term used to define a conversation in Dilmot. It can be either an interview, chat, debate, forum, or whatever you would like to name it.

Each stream is held in it’s own independent webpage. A stream works like a Q&A chat that can last as long as you want: minutes, hours or days.

READERS CAN SEND QUESTIONS

Open the floor to questions

Readers can send questions by simply using the form in the stream page. They may identify themselves with their name or with Facebook/Twitter credentials. It is also possible to add the e-mail field to the form, so that the reader will be able to know when the question has been answered and it will also be easier to contact her in the future.

THE GUEST ANSWERS

Easy to manage a guest remotely

Give access to the guest who will answer the questions with a secret web address that the application will provide you with. No need for the guest to register or use a password. The secret address will be the access token to the panel where the guest has to answer the moderated questions.

QUESTIONS MODERATION

An intuitive and agile way of managing questions

You can moderate and edit the received questions inside an convenient panel. As the moderator, you can also send new questions or make comments.

ANSWER IN REAL-TIME

It works as a moderated live chat

The answers are published in real-time, there is no need to refresh the browser. Actually, everything in the application is updated in real-time. So, the guest and moderation panels are automatically updated during the chat.

MULTIMEDIA CAPABILITIES

Videos and images embedded into the answers

Both the guest and the moderator can insert videos (e.g. YouTube) or images as part of the answers, opening a universe of uses to the stream.

EMBED THE STREAM INSIDE ANOTHER WEB

A simple code to embed the stream

Your Dilmot account comes with a subdomain for you to host your streams. But if you prefer to embed it in your existing web, you can do so very easily. Plus we can customize anything you like, just get in touch with us to get a solution to your needs.

SHOW THE INCOMING QUESTIONS TO THE PUBLIC

A way of warming up the debate

You can decide to show the questions that have been received (and moderated in case you have turned on this option). The public will then be able to read these questions before they get answered by the guest. This is normally a good idea in order to encourage more participation and avoid the repetition of questions.

MAKE THE STREAM PRIVATE

Control who accesses the stream

Use this feature in situations where you would like to keep the access to the stream restricted, such as using the Q&A's as part of paid courses, exclusive benefit, a private newsroom, etc. It is also useful if you want to hold an interview privately and decide to make it public afterwards.

This is easy to set up in Dilmot,by providing a password to protect the access to the stream.

REORDER THE INCOMING QUESTIONS

Change the order of questions

As a moderator, you may want to change the order in which you would like the guest to answer the questions. With this powerful feature you can do the change instantly and in an intuitive manner.

GET QUESTIONS FROM TWEETS

Participating from within Twitter

Just define the hashtag and the tweets containing it will be automatically fetched from Twitter. Moderate them like any other question you receive.

FOLLOW THE STREAM LIVE OR READ IT LATER

Works both like a chat and publishing platform

While following the stream live, questions and answers show up automatically like in a chat. Once it is finished, the content remains published in an appropriate format for reading, and it can be exported to other formats easily.
