AI agent for diplomats
Political Developments Monitoring Agent
A daily summary and draft notes on significant political developments with confirmed sources
What it does
Embassy political officers must track elections, coalition shifts, protests and policy changes in the host country, across dozens of sources. This agent scans local news, official gazettes, parliament records and think tank outputs each morning. It groups items into ongoing stories and compares them with earlier reporting to find what is actually new. Before calling a fact confirmed, it needs two independent sources or one official source; otherwise it searches further or marks the fact unconfirmed. Stories touching the embassy's priority list, such as a cabinet change or a law affecting bilateral interests, get a short reporting note with sources. Changes from earlier reporting are highlighted. The officer decides what goes into an official cable. Edge case: social media rumors are listed as 'unconfirmed' and never used alone.
How it works
Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.
