A civic platform for news professionals to discover what politicians are actually saying. 

It’s painful to listen to a one hour speech or interview just to see if anything useful or important was said. Parser does that work for you. And it is civic-smart and can recognize comments and claims that have journalistic relevance – so you don’t have to wade through needless content.

Hundreds of national profile politicians in Congress, Senate and State roles are already present on Parser with thousands of audio and video recordings transcribed and analyzed for claims and major talking points. This database, with contributions by the journalism community, is easily searchable to support research and story development. 

Fact brief writer Tom Kertscher keeps tabs on the claims that Wisconsin politicians make on AM radio, podcasts, interviews, and more. With Parser, he was able to quickly identify a misleading claim by a congressional candidate accusing her opponent of lobbying for higher gas prices. Tom’s fact brief set the record straight.

“I used to spend hours watching and listening to politicians’ interviews and speeches, searching for claims to fact-check. Gigafact surfaces those claims for me in minutes.”

When researching his article on Sen. Ted Cruz’s podcast in the weeks leading up to the 2024 election, Politics Reporter Jasper Scherer used Gigafact’s AI tools to synthesize the key points of dozens of hours of the podcast.

“Gigafact’s tools helped us gain a clear idea of what Ted Cruz says on his podcasts — from the rhetoric he uses about major Democratic figures to the claims he makes about the news of the day — without having to slog through all 500+ episodes he has released. This helped us distill the most important parts while saving us hours we would have otherwise spent listening to old audio.”

After Aspen Public Radio hosted a lively hour-long debate between candidates for Colorado’s highly competitive 3rd congressional district, RMCR’s Managing Editor Maeve Conran used our technology to summarize the salient moments in the debate for a website write-up.

“I used Gigafact to process a candidate debate and it was great! … Compared to the Utah gubernatorial debate I had to process last week without Gigafact, it saved me at least 90 minutes of work.”
