The European Committee of the Regions’ (CoR) Commission for Economic Policy (ECON) is now leading by example, building on the momentum of 2024’s edition of EuropCom. ECON members address Europe’s most pressing economic challenges - debates that shape the future of the EU - from the European to the regional level.
To make these debates more accessible, the CoR has launched the Panoramic AI platform for its May ECON meeting. Panoramic AI is a Make.org tool that allows anyone to explore the discussions from the debate by providing instant, interactive, and sourced answers.
Originally designed to empower citizens with direct access to political debate, Panoramic can translate institutional complexity into clarity, hence bridging the gap between decision-makers and the public. It turns complex institutional proceedings and information into a simple, interactive Q&A experience. It is built from video recordings, full transcripts as well as web documents from recent ECON meetings and stakeholder consultations.
Users can access the information via topics, pre-drafted questions or ask open-ended questions such as:
The AI then delivers clear, sourced responses, linking directly to specific speakers and statements of the video recorded of the event. It offers a multilingual experience - in this case in English, French, and Italian - and provides accurate insights grounded strictly in the CoR’s own documentation. Unlike general AI tools, it does not pull information from the internet, ensuring precision, control, and institutional reliability.
This launch is part of a broader push by the CoR and Make.org to pilot ways to use AI in the service of public life. The goal is democratic impact: helping citizens, journalists, and institutional actors engage more easily with complex content and topics.
