The End of Government Relations Toil - With Ben Cox from Page

Описание: Ben Cox spent a decade building real-time dashboards at Shopify. Then he saw lobbyists complaining about their software so much, he decided to fix the entire industry.
The problem: GR professionals would rather send interns to watch C-SPAN than trust AI to monitor hearings. The trust tax—time spent verifying AI output—makes the automation pointless.
Cox's solution at Page: radical transparency. Every AI claim links directly to timestamped transcripts with voice identification. Verification time drops from hours to seconds.
What gets unlocked when the toil disappears? Junior staffers stop taking notes on Ways and Means hearings and start building relationships on the Hill. Competitive advantage shifts from knowing first to understanding what it means—and knowing who to call.
The laundry still needs to get done. We just don't need to spend our whole day doing it anymore.
