Platform

Web (Docker), REST API, PostgreSQL

Bringing accountability to government, starting with Kansas. The platform tracks legislators, bills, votes, campaign finance, hearing transcripts, legislative journals, public statements, lobbying disclosures, and Kansas law, then connects those records into searchable evidence about what happened, who said it, and how it matches official action. The Kansas beta is live at kansas-accountability.expertaiservices.com.

The Project

The Kansas Accountability Platform turns scattered government records into a single searchable source of truth. Bills, votes, hearings, committee testimony, journals, campaign-finance filings, and Kansas statutes are continuously collected from official state sources and prepared for public access. Hearing video is automatically captured and transcribed with speaker identification, so every minute of testimony becomes searchable and citable. Filings and documents are extracted with quality safeguards that flag changes and verify provenance. The result is a public-facing platform where citizens, journalists, and advocates can search across bills, legislators, committees, hearings, transcripts, and campaign finance — and build their own reports, dashboards, and tracking alerts.

Key Features

AI-powered hearing transcript analysis with speaker diarization and committee roster matching

AI Hearing Intelligence

The platform turns raw committee hearing video into structured civic evidence: diarized transcripts, speaker identification, bill and committee links, testimony/document context, timestamped key moments, searchable segments, video jump links, and notification-ready highlights.

AI-enriched legislator profile dashboard combining voting records, campaign finance graphs, and lobbying connection networks

Reports + Dashboard

Provides a signed-in workspace for saved tracking, watchlists, alerts, report generation, and white-labeled HTML outputs. Users can move from raw legislative events to polished briefings without manually stitching together bills, hearings, votes, and finance records.

Legislative vote tracking visualization with roll call tallies, vote event timelines, and position change detection

Bill Journey + Dossier

Tracks each bill from introduction through committee hearings, floor action, amendments, votes, and governor action. The dossier view connects official actions, hearing activity, testimony, bill versions, vote records, and status changes into one confidence-scored timeline.

Campaign finance data dashboard showing contribution flows, donor-lobbyist links, and corruption pattern detection

Campaign Finance

Ingests Kansas campaign-finance filings from KPDC, including 28K+ contribution records and campaign committee data. A daily source-fingerprint monitor checks for changed filing pages and PDFs, while RunPod Marker extraction and date quarantine safeguards keep new finance data cleaner.

Political statement analysis comparing social media posts and press releases against actual legislative voting records

Unified Evidence Search

Search across bills, hearings, transcript segments, testimony, key moments, floor speeches, public statements, journals, legislators, and committees from one interface. Results preserve source context, match reasons, filters, and links back to the underlying evidence.

Legislative hearing calendar with live schedule sync, document attachments, and timestamped video links

Bill Tracking + Alerts

Lets users track bills, topics, committees, legislators, and saved searches, then turns legislative changes into actionable alerts. The tracking cockpit summarizes deltas, review state, key activity, and report-ready updates for watched issues.

Context-aware AI chat assistant injecting bill details, legislator data, and transcript metadata into conversation

AI Chat + Semantic Memory

A context-aware assistant answers questions using the page the user is viewing, legislative records, hearing transcripts, Kansas law, and prior workspace context. Semantic memory, web chat, SMS, and email workflows help preserve continuity across research sessions.

Semantic memory system with vector database, conversation recall across web SMS and email channels, and entity extraction

Kansas Law Expert

Indexes 31K+ Kansas Statutes Annotated sections plus the Kansas Constitution into a dedicated law-search expert. The system can answer current-law questions with statute-grounded retrieval instead of relying only on general model knowledge.

API Endpoints

The Kansas Accountability Platform is live and free to explore. Government transparency shouldn’t require a team of researchers. We design AI systems that automate the tedious work of tracking legislators, connecting financial relationships, and surfacing inconsistencies — so citizens and journalists can focus on what matters.
