ABOUT LOBBYAI

Unleash Policy Access
with AI

An AI company making public information easier to access and use.

◆ OUR DIRECTION

Public information.
Within everyone’s reach.

We started LobbyAI to make it easier for businesses to work with government. Grants, procurement and public-private partnerships should be accessible to anyone with an idea worth pursuing.

Yet useful information is scattered, the rules are complex, and it is often unclear who to speak to. Opportunities get missed before a conversation even begins.

We are building a common foundation for policy research and action. AI makes public information easier to find and understand. Our team brings experience inside government and business to help people use it in real decisions.

R1N4

One technology.
Global data capabilities.

Our scraping and ingestion engine, R1N4, collects and structures information from websites and documents. We are developing this foundation for research across countries, with data available in LobbyAI and through MCP and APIs for the AI tools teams already use.
