    For what tasks is this better than the longstanding TheyWorkForYou [1]?

    > every publicly accessible document, audio recording or transcript we could get our hands on

    It doesn't seem like it. If I search for something e.g. "small boats" without quotes, I get no results for Parliament Wow [2], but 4000 from TheyWorkForYou [3]. If I add quotes, I get 4 matching "past sessions" on Parliament Wow [4], with no indication of which part of them is relevant to my query; TheyWorkForYou gives 2000 results [5].

      Hey, we scraped bills and news. Better transcriptions will be coming soon and are not on the demo site.

      We dont see this as any competition for theyworkforyou. They provide and awesome service to the UK. We are going in the direction of better realtime monitoring as the current products are very limited.

      Thanks :)

    Have you tried to contact Audrey Tang? Minister in Taiwan. She has experience in this field.

    You're solution could be very interesting for journalists as they struggle to fact check what the politics say about a law. It a potentiel to find a ethical business and grow your solution. Have you tried to contact some journal?

    For council it could be very interesting to check if a good idea already exists or is linked to something already under the law. It is RAG for law facts but with streaming functionalities.

    Because in the public administration or in the written law, the terms are sometimes specifics, ideally, proposed something like a reformulation of the query. Could be done with some agents working in parallel (Langchain ?). It is well known the answer of a RAG improves a lot by reformulation, or proposals or reformulation.

    Perhaps the main page should show an image of the video and a small (unlegible) transcript. Something similar to YouTube.

      good shout.

      there's a bunch about notifications we want to do. Imagine subscribing to all issues mentioning young drivers for instance.
