After signing in, users arrive at the landing page where they can choose between two primary functions: identifying similar parliamentary questions that have been previously answered to establish precedent, or drafting a new AI-assisted response complete with citations from official source materials.

Question Intake & Similar Question Detection

When an analyst enters a new parliamentary question into the web interface, the system automatically analyses the content and identifies similar questions that have been previously answered. This allows analysts to quickly establish precedent and maintain consistency in government responses.
