Every day, the Dutch and European parliaments produce thousands of pages of policy documents, debate transcriptions, and regulatory updates. For organizations whose operations depend on legislative changes, from lobbying firms to industry associations to public affairs departments, keeping up is a full-time job. We built Beleidsradar to do that job automatically.
The problem: information overload in policy
Every week, the Dutch and European parliaments produce thousands of pages of policy documents, debate transcripts, and regulatory updates. For organizations that depend on legislative changes, from lobbying firms to industry associations to public affairs departments, keeping up is a full-time job. We built Beleidsradar to do that job automatically.
Before Beleidsradar, this meant: subscribing to RSS feeds that produce hundreds of irrelevant items, manually scanning government websites, relying on colleagues to forward relevant documents, and inevitably missing critical developments.
How Beleidsradar works
Beleidsradar is a fully autonomous monitoring system. It does not wait for users to search; it continuously monitors, analyzes, and alerts proactively.
Continuous document ingestion
The system continuously crawls parliamentary sources, sitemaps, RSS feeds, and API endpoints, collecting new documents as they are published.
Intelligent matching
Each user defines their monitoring criteria. Our AI engine matches incoming documents using a combination of vector search and LLM-driven analysis, generating term variations to catch relevant content that doesn't contain exact keyword matches.
LLM-powered synthesis
When relevant documents are found, the system generates concise summaries that explain why each document matters for the user's specific interests. This turns a 40-page policy document into a 3-sentence briefing.
Automated alerting
Findings are delivered via email alerts. Every morning, users receive a curated briefing of what changed, what it means, and what they should pay attention to.
The engineering challenges
Building a reliable agentic monitoring system for government data presents unique challenges. Government websites are notoriously inconsistent, broken sitemaps, documents published as images instead of text, inconsistent URL schemes, and content that moves or disappears without notice.
As user base and document volume scale, the engineering challenges multiply, but the solutions are very much within reach.
Results
Beleidsradar now monitors millions of policy documents across the Dutch and European governmental landscape. It serves public affairs professionals, industry associations, and legal teams who need to stay ahead of regulatory changes, without spending hours manually scanning government websites every day.
