The requirement
Parliamentary teams in the Houses of Commons relied on manual note-taking during meetings and debates, creating risk of misquoting, inconsistent records and significant time spent on low-value transcription work. Teams needed a reliable, automated way to capture and summarise discussions accurately, so they could focus on analysis, policy work and higher-value activities.
Our solution
North Stack's developers designed and built Ziani, a purpose-built AI note-taking tool tailored to the specific needs of parliamentary teams. Ziani automatically captures, transcribes and summarises meetings and discussions, producing accurate, structured notes that teams can review and share immediately.
By removing the burden of manual note-taking, Ziani eliminates the risk of misquoting and ensures consistent, reliable records across sessions. The tool was built to fit seamlessly into existing parliamentary workflows, requiring no change to how teams operate day to day.
Impact
- Manual note-taking eliminated across parliamentary meetings
- Risk of misquoting and inaccurate records significantly reduced
- Teams redirected to higher-value policy, analysis and advisory work
- Faster availability of accurate, structured meeting summaries
- Improved quality of decision-making through reliable, consistent records
Why it worked
North Stack focused on the real operational pain point: freeing skilled parliamentary professionals from low-value transcription so they could concentrate on the work that matters most. By building a tool purpose-fit for the parliamentary environment, Ziani delivered immediate, measurable productivity gains without disrupting established ways of working.
