Parlex combines search across parliamentary material with AI-assisted summaries. The government’s transparency record describes its use by private offices preparing ministerial briefings and debates, alongside policy and bill teams. Users remain responsible for checking and interpreting the results.
I helped build it after Redbox, carrying lessons about useful products into parliamentary research. Shared access mattered: a service becomes much more useful when colleagues can actually pass it on.
Parliament MCP provides open tools for working with parliamentary data. My interview with Kevin W. Settles also informed the UK case study in From Pixels to Parliament.
