Enhancing Government Transparency with AI Meeting Insights
Government officials discuss issues and make critical decisions in thousands of daily recorded meetings. Cloverleaf AI transforms this massive amount of decentralized video data into an actionable dashboard so that government affairs teams can focus on what matters for their company.
Focusing primarily on search in December 2021, the CEO of Cloverleaf AI, Adam Zucker, approached Data317 to expand their moat with AI capabilities. “We had something to sell. Now we needed to make Cloverleaf a premier product.”
"We knew data science would be a critical component of our product roadmap. However, for an early-stage company, a full-time data scientist wasn't in our financial plans. Data317 gave us a path to deliver innovative functionality much sooner and at a price point we could afford."
Approach
Data317 data scientists worked closely with the Cloverleaf AI team to understand their organization's goals, problems, and product vision. With a focus on long-term stability and growth, Data317 collaborated with them to establish a data science roadmap that would reduce costs, enhance discovery, and lay the foundation for future growth.
"Data317 helped me understand what's possible. I could bounce ideas off them, discuss possible development paths, and narrow in on exactly what we needed."
Starting simple and iterating to more complex, the Data317 team went to work.

Contextualized Meetings
Government meetings are long and cover a variety of topics. Quickly understanding what a meeting was about was a considerable challenge for Cloverleaf AI customers to overcome.
Using Natural Language Processing (NLP), Data317 automatically generates a meeting summary, tags notable segments, and pulls out the key terms. Cloverleaf AI customers can now quickly pinpoint the exact moments they care about without reviewing hours-long meetings.
Similar Keywords
Common language and industry jargon are usually very different. An asphalt paver may say “pavement degradation,” but the public would simply say, “the roads are terrible.” Cloverleaf AI sought to close the gap between them and offer a more robust search that covered all potential keywords.
Using a custom natural language transformer, Data317 enriches user-provided search queries by finding related terms, contexts, and intents. Instead of a simple term search looking for “pavement degradation”, a user was searching the idea of road repairs.
Spam Detector
Governments often release promotional, sporting, and other non-legislative video content within the same data feed, causing transcription, storage, and analysis costs to balloon.
Data317 built a customized spam filter that automatically categorizes videos and sends only legislative meetings to their transcription service. Over a two-month period, 13% of videos were filtered out as spam.
Launchpad For Future Growth
Data317 didn’t simply just provide the analysis but also built the backbone infrastructure to deploy and use the results and technology directly, in a developer-friendly manner. “Data317 has left us in a great spot, leaning in on documentation and extensibility. We can quickly understand their code and build off what they have created, with or without Data317's help.”
"[Data317] proved over and over again to me that I can trust them. They're people who do really high-quality work for you. They're not going to sell you a dream. They're going to build you a reality."
