AI Advisor

Persate's specialized analytical assistant for working with the legislative corpus and proprietary documents.

The AI Advisor is a specialized analytical tool designed for exploratory work within the legislative corpus and proprietary documents. It is not a free-form chatbot — every response is anchored in actual searches, and every reference constitutes a citation with a link to the source.

Access to the advisor is provided by the INTELLIGENCE → Advisor entry in the sidebar.

Scope of applications

The advisor automates research processes that require manual searching across multiple sources, including:

  • Complex correlational search — linking data from various sources. Example: „Which committee reviewed the latest energy prices bill and who voted against it?"
  • Multi-source data synthesis — comparing declarations with facts. Example: „Compile the parliamentary club's public statements on phasing out coal with their voting records from the last six months."

Note: The advisor is not intended for generating creative content, writing code, or conducting conversations unrelated to the legislative corpus.

Key system features

  • Grounded responses — every piece of information is preceded by an analysis of platform data: voting records, stakeholder profiles, transcripts, and uploaded documents.
  • Interactive citations — every claim features a footnote in the form of a clickable badge that opens the source record directly in the platform interface.
  • Turn-based structure — communication occurs within closed working turns, which guarantees response precision.

Areas of competence

The advisor operates within six specialized data modules:

ModuleAnalysis scope
LegislationVoting results, motion metadata, stakeholder legislative activity history.
StakeholdersStakeholder database: biographies, parliamentary club affiliations, attendance.
Public PulseMonitoring social media activity of tracked stakeholders.
AlertsManaging existing alerts and creating new rules.
DocumentsSearching uploaded files and the public Persate corpus.
ContextUtilizing the current conversation history to refine the analysis.

These competencies are detailed in the Advisor skills section.

Analysis depth

Use the scope icon on the left side of the input field to specify the analysis detail level for a given message:

  • Surface — quick answers to simple questions.
  • Balanced — default setting, providing an optimal balance between speed and detail.
  • Deep — comprehensive multi-source analysis. The advisor investigates secondary threads and broad connections.

Depth is configured for a single message and does not modify the default account setting. Configure the default value in Settings → Advisor. Details are provided in the Best practices section.

Conversation history

The right interface panel contains a chronologically ordered list of sessions assigned to the account. Every conversation is automatically titled based on the subject of the first message.

  • New conversation — select New conversation to reset the workspace.
  • Resuming sessions — select any entry from the history list to restore the full conversation record.
  • Deleting data — select the trash icon next to the session title to permanently delete the conversation.

Conversation history is tied to the individual account and is not shared within the organization.

Workflow continuity

Active analysis is not interrupted upon leaving the view or refreshing the browser — the advisor continues working in the background. Upon reopening the conversation, the system automatically restores progress. The same conversation can be opened in multiple browser tabs — all display the same progress in real time.
