A Browser AI Agent Watching UK Parliamentary Committees Live
The result
2 min
from spoken word to the team being alerted, against 2–3 days for Hansard
XY Space built the backend behind Ziani.ai: a browser agent that watches UK committee sittings live and alerts teams minutes after a passage is spoken.
Summarize this case study with AI
The agent is watching the sitting, not waiting for the transcript — so the team hears it in minutes rather than days.
Same sitting. One team knows during it, the other reads about it on Thursday.
Before · the official record
2–3 days
Hansard publishes after the sitting, and for some committee proceedings it never publishes at all.
Time to know · 1 cell = 1 hour
Sessions covered in a sitting week · 9 of 48
After · the agent
~2 min
The alert lands while the session is still sitting, in time to brief a client before it rises.

The Challenge
Dozens of committees sit at once, each for three to five hours, and the official transcript lands days later — when it lands at all.
No public affairs team can watch all of it. Traditional monitoring offered next-day summaries at best, by which point the window to respond had usually closed. Hansard does not solve it either: it publishes after the sitting, and a good deal of committee proceeding never reaches the official record.
A browser agent sits on the stream while the session is still running, so the team hears about a passage minutes after it is spoken rather than days.
The Solution
XY Space built the backend behind Ziani.ai, a parliamentary intelligence platform for UK public affairs teams. The agent watches official committee streams as they air, transcribes the proceedings, and keeps a rolling summary as the sitting progresses. Every passage carries the speaker, the timestamp and the verbatim quote, so anything it surfaces can be cited straight into a briefing.
When Something Lands
The value is not the transcript. It is the alert.
- •Each client's watch list — sectors, bills, companies, policy areas — is tuned by their account manager and takes effect immediately.
- •Context is weighed, not just keywords: whether a topic is being criticised, endorsed, referred onward, or dismissed.
- •A match dispatches within minutes by email, SMS, or straight into the client's CRM.
- •Everything else is logged, attributed and searchable, even when nobody is alerted.
Ahead of Hansard
The official record is not a competitor. It is a deadline the agent beats by days.
Because the agent works from the stream itself, coverage does not depend on what eventually gets published. A one-off evidence session with a regulator is captured as completely as a headline hearing, including the proceedings that never appear in Hansard at all.
