The value of the AI Assistant for you

The AI Assistant makes policy analysis incredibly fast and fully interactive. Instead of searching through dozens of documents yourself, you simply ask a question in plain language, just as you would ask a colleague. The Assistant draws on our political database and identifies relevant developments. Polpo connects to the current context surrounding your policy themes, from proposals, motions, amendments, voting records, consultation progress, and file progress. You do not get raw search results, but a clear answer, including an explanation of what is going on and which, EU institutions, Members of Parliament or external stakeholders are active on the issue.

Now more than just smart monitoring: Polpo acts as an active assistant that deepens, accelerates, and guides your work.
