Introducing Panoramic.AI: Bridging the Gap Between Citizens and Institutions

What is Panoramic.AI?

Panoramic is an innovative AI-powered platform used to break down complex subjects into clear, accessible information. Whether you are a citizen, a civil society organisation, a journalist seeking succinct summaries, or a public official requiring clear insights, Panoramic delivers concise and understandable information. It can be used by a local, regional, national or supranational Assembly, a citizen panel, or the organisers of any important event. 

The platform generates summaries of public discussions, provides answers to open questions, and gives direct access to video or document excerpts for a deeper understanding. By exclusively using verified public documents, Panoramic ensures that everyone can access the information they need, regardless of their background or expertise.

How does it work?

Panoramic employs generative AI to retrieve relevant information from a carefully curated database of trusted sources, including verified documents, transcribed videos and audio tapes. Users can interact with the platform naturally, asking questions and receiving reliable responses without wading through extensive documentation.

Panoramic.AI provides three entry points to users:

1. Suggestions: Predefined questions guide users toward essential topics.
2. Thematic search: Explore areas of interest, such as climate change or healthcare, to gain a deeper understanding of specific themes.
3. Open questions: Users can pose their own inquiries, receiving tailored responses based on selected sources.

Every response generated by Panoramic is derived from verified, public sources, with Make.org ensuring accuracy and relevance. This commitment to transparency reinforces users' confidence in the insights received.

Who can benefit from Panoramic.AI?

Panoramic is designed to serve a diverse range of users, including:

• Citizens eager to stay informed and actively participate in public discourse.
• Journalists in need of efficient, reliable summaries of complex events or policies.
• Public institutions aiming to enhance transparency and communication with their constituents.
• Civil society organisations interested in meaningful stakeholder engagement.

Protecting data privacy

One of the standout features of Panoramic is its commitment to data privacy. By using the European Mistral AI model, the platform complies with GDPR and European privacy standards. The data collection process is limited to what is strictly necessary, ensuring user privacy throughout the experience. This commitment reinforces Panoramic as an innovative tool developed, hosted, and operated in Europe.

Real-world applications of Panoramic.AI

Panoramic has already been successfully deployed in various high-profile settings:

• It supported the Citizens’ Convention on End-of-Life in collaboration with the French Economic, Social, and Environmental Council (CESE), making  the deliberations and conclusions of citizen participants accessible to both the wider public and parliamentarians.
• At the 2024 VivaTech Conference, Panoramic provided instant access to key discussions, allowing participants and journalists to revisit important moments and gain a deeper understanding of the event's highlights.
• Panoramic was used during the 2023 State of the Union address by President Ursula von der Leyen, enabling participants to engage more deeply with her evaluation of the European Commission's achievements and future priorities.
