“Open Source Political Intelligence” - What is that and why do we need it?
🎬 Watch our presentation

Open Politics creates an open-source platform that makes political intelligence accessible to everyone. Our mission is to help citizens navigate complex political information through intuitive tools that gather, analyse, and visualise political data.

We’re working to democratise access to the kind of sophisticated political analysis that was previously available only to institutions with specialised resources.

Our platform is currently in late beta. The hosted version will be available for registration soon at open-politics.org.

​
The Challenge

Political information is overwhelming:

  • News from countless sources
  • Complex legislative procedures
  • Evolving conflicts and situations
  • Relationships between political actors

Most people lack the time and tools to develop a comprehensive understanding of these interconnected elements. This knowledge gap creates barriers to informed civic engagement.

​
Our Solution

Open Politics combines Natural language instruction with classical data science methods to create tools that anyone can use—no technical expertise required.

​
Two Core Components
