Lobby{ai}st Buddy

Goal

Provide lobbyist with initial positions of senator with regards to certain policies, laws or trending ideas as a first step to implement an approaching sponsoring-strategy.

How it works

• Using Google's Gemini AI to assess senatorial stance on various policies, laws and ideas based on their public statements on X.com (Twitter.com).

• The interaction is made through a Streamlit Application which results into:

  • A Table with all senators twitter handles separated into Support, Opposition, Neutral and Undecided with regard to the asked question by user.
  • A Pie Chart to visualize, in percentage points, the distribution of senators' positions.

Challenges we ran into

• Customized the question into a suitable prompt.

• Formatting the response into an analysis ready data frame.

• Integrate the solution into a user friendly, Streamlit web application.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Turning the tedious task of analyzing thousands of tweets into one click action.
