Consilia IA

Consilia

Politics is better with sources.

Consilia IA prepares a legislator's office for every commitment on its agenda.

Every item on the agenda, prepared.

Before a committee, an interview or a floor session, Consilia IA reads what the legislatures publish and what the office keeps, and writes the briefing. Every line says where it came from, and anyone can open the document and check.

Reads what the legislatures publish.

Six sources today, across the three legislatures.

  • Porto Alegre's Paço Municipal, seat of the city government that publishes the Official Gazette.City councillorPorto Alegre's Official Gazetteevery edition

New sources come in as offices ask for them.

Every line says where it came from.

A chat answer uses what the office keeps and what the legislatures publish. Each claim carries the number of the document it came from.

  1. O FNDE calcula o valor por aluno conforme distância, condição da estrada e tipo de veículo.Gabinete · entrevista, jun.

    This line came from an interview the office keeps. The tag says which.

  2. O art. 3º do PL 6.232/2025 cria o repasse direto da União aos municípios.Câmara · PL 6.232/2025

    This one came from the Chamber of Deputies, from article 3 of the bill.

  3. De onde veio

    And the whole answer rests on four documents, listed under it. Each one opens.

A recorded answer in Consilia IA: the folded "Leu a base antes de escrever" line (read the base before writing), the answer on the FNDE transfer with the number of a document after each cited sentence, and the "De onde veio" footer (where it came from) open on the four numbered documents and the tag of each.

One commitment at a time.

The agenda arrives on its own and the briefing is ready before the commitment. The team rehearses the hard question, and what was said becomes a source for the next briefing.

  1. Days before

    The agenda arrives on its own.

    The agendas of the Chamber, the Senate and the São Paulo Assembly land in the office's calendar alongside the team's own.

  2. The day before

    The briefing is ready ahead of time.

    It carries the position, the lines to use and where the mandate is exposed. Every line is tagged as from the office, public or suggested.

  3. Hours before

    Whoever speaks gets it on their phone.

    Three points, two likely questions and one line not to say, in a short message.

    The message for the deputy on a phone screen: three points, two likely questions and one line not to say.
  4. Before walking in

    The rehearsal comes before the hard question.

    The team practises against a journalist or an opponent and gets a note on what to adjust.

  5. After

    What was said becomes a source.

    The review records what was said at the commitment, and the next briefing already uses it.

    The review of the public hearing in a browser window, at the "Entrou para a base" block (added to the base).
  6. Always

    Every sentence of the answer cites a passage.

    The chat answers only from the office's documents and the public collection, and shows the passage behind each sentence.

    A recorded conversation in a browser window: the question on defending the FNDE transfer without promising a figure, the folded "Leu a base antes de escrever" line (read the base before writing), which opens on the steps behind the answer, the answer and the closed "De onde veio" footer (where it came from).

For every legislature, the same preparation.

Does your office need something only it uses?

We build it to order, for an extra fee, and the feature goes into your office's account.

A source only your legislature publishes

We start reading your council's gazette or your committee's bulletin.

A format your staff already uses

The briefing in the template the deputy reads, with the sections the office asks for.

A routine the office already has

A reminder at the time the team picks, through the channel it already uses.

  1. You ask

    A conversation with the people who use the tool every day.

  2. We build it

    With your staff checking the result.

  3. It goes into your office's account

    Only your office uses it.

A wrong statement is rarely born of bad faith. It is born of haste. When every claim carries its source, the speaker gets it wrong less often and the listener can check.

The debate in the legislatures, and in the country, gets better informed, better structured and more to the point when the speaker arrives with sources. That is why we build Consilia, starting with the team that prepares the person who speaks.

What we won't give up.

  • Every claim has an origin.

    The briefing tags each line as from the office, public or suggested. Anything without a source shows as suggested, so nobody mistakes it.

  • The answer comes from the base.

    The chat answers from the office's documents and the public collection, never from the internet.

  • Each office sees only its own.

    One office's documents never show up for another, and we test that with every change to the database.

  • The office decides.

    Consilia prepares. What to say stays the decision of the team and of whoever holds the mandate.

What they ask before coming in.

Can another office see my office's documents?
No. Each office sees only its own, and we test that with every change to the database.
Where do the public sources come from?
Porto Alegre City Council, Porto Alegre's Official Gazette, the São Paulo State Assembly, the Chamber of Deputies, the Federal Senate and Federal laws. Only what the public collection reads today.
And when there is no source in the base?
Then the line shows as suggested, without a source, so no one mistakes it for something that came from a document.
Who decides what to say?
The office. Consilia prepares; the decision stays with the team and with whoever holds the mandate.
Where are the office's documents kept, and who sees them?
In a database in the São Paulo region. Each office is kept apart from the others inside the database itself, and one never sees another. Consilia's team reaches it to keep the service running, never to read what an office keeps.
How long until the office is using it?
A conversation, the setup by Consilia's team and a first week with us alongside. The exact time depends on the documents the office brings.
How much does it cost?
It depends on the tier, from city councillor to federal deputy, and on the conversation. We don't publish a price list.

Hoje tem CCJ e rádio. Ela está pronta?
