AI-generated explanations summaries of candidates or parties

[kaljarv]

Primary user story

As a voter, I want to see short, easy-to-understand summaries of candidates and parties in the results list, so that I can quickly learn more of them without having to open their details, especially when comparing options.

Considerations

Data to summarize

• Candidates’ positions and voting history
• Option for candidates to include links to other data, such as their website or social media profile
• Candidates’ open answers to questions
• Party manifestos

Prevent overlap

• How to make sure that the information presented in the summary overlaps as little as possible with the data that can already be gleaned from the overall and per-category matching scores?

Approval and editing

• Should candidates and parties have the option to approve the summaries before they’re displayed and possibly edit them?
• If they are shown on an opt-in basis, what to display in the UI in their stead?

Subtasks

1. Initial planning
   • Which technologies to use?
   • Which of the tech is shared between the other ideas?
   • Which data sources are needed?
   • Is the AI model interacted with in real-time or do we use canned results?
   • Make a sketch of the ideal interaction? E.g. a script of the chat or a rough draft of the visualisation
2. Prototyping
   • Make a UI sketch in Figma
   • Test the suggested workflows using real data and real models
3. Development
   • Steps TBA
4. Admin UI development
   • Optional

Try a few other parties, big and small, for Manifesto Summariser.

The answer analysis is good.
