political scout

Track what politicians are saying in real-time

If your business is exposed to the whims of a large legislative group, you know how impossible it is to keep up with all the chatter.

We can listen to everything* so you don't have to.

* this morning, we had 342,356 total transcripts.

We track government of all kinds

Note: We're always up for a new challenge if you have other data in mind.

Let’s walk through the app.

The end result: when a keyword gets triggered, your team gets a customized email report with exactly what happened.

#1

Every day, we import thousands of hours of new content.

We'll handle importing the exact set of channels you want, whether that's all of the city councils in the country or just a handful of legislatures.

For some larger accounts, Scout scans thousands of data sources every day.

#2

Scout checks for new mentions of your keywords in the transcripts.

We'll build a keyword list of things people often talk about that you want to track.

This will get used to monitor every incoming piece of information.

#3

You get notified.

As soon as a keyword matches, we'll check to make sure it’s relevant and send your team an alert. That alert is chock full of relevant information so you can act fast.

Hey everyone,

If we haven't met before, I'm Stephen, founder of Simple Machine.

Every day, there are thousands of meetings, and only a few moments that matter to you.

Most companies hire people to sit through the meetings or sift through hours of video to find a few relevant insights.

Not anymore.

Scout is optimized to help you do one thing – find the needle in the haystack. We search terabytes of meeting data to find the information that matters to your team faster than ever before.

Plus, you’ll have a comprehensive, searchable historical record of everything, so you can hold people accountable for what they said in the past.
