Problem
Government data, legislation, and public sector documents are often released as dense PDFs or unstructured text, making them difficult for citizens, journalists, and policymakers to access, understand, and act upon.
Solution
Schema Labs creates a suite of open‑source tools that automatically extract information from long PDFs, legislative gazettes, and political speeches, converting them into structured relational schemas. The platform applies AI summarization to generate concise text, audio, and short‑form video content. It then visualises the processed data through interactive dashboards, infographics, and real‑time maps, enabling users to explore government spending, budget allocations, and legislative changes. By providing APIs and public portals such as OpenCouncil, Schema Labs lowers the barrier for civic organizations, media, and individuals to engage with public data and participate in democratic processes.
Target Audience
Primary users include national and local government agencies, municipalities, civic‑tech NGOs, journalists, academic researchers, and engaged citizens seeking transparent access to public sector information.
