Why it matters

Forget Metro ads. AI is the new channel for grasstops influence.

Decision-makers no longer start with your website or search engine results. Instead, they prompt their AI assistant for complete answers, which it compiles from its training data and a variety of online sources.

  • Lobbying is so 2025

    Lunch at the Old Ebbit Grill is nice, but lobbyists can't see what lives on a senator's laptop — AI can. AI assistants like Microsoft Copilot literally live inside congressional workflows, not only correcting grammar, but steering research and drafting bills.

  • The press runs on AI

    82% of journalists use AI in their work, and 77% of US newsrooms use it to research, source experts, and write first-drafts. Whatever AI tells reporters becomes the coverage your stakeholders read.

  • Whoever controls the AI narrative, wins

    AI builds its responses from the sources it can find and trust. Opponents who structure their content for AI are already defining your issues, while your organization's voice may be left out of the room entirely.

How Suede helps

Make sure AI tells your side of the story.

Suede monitors how every major AI assistant describes your issues and the people you represent, then gives you the optimization and agents to move the narrative.

  • Monitor your issues across AI

    Track how ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot, and every major assistant answers questions about your industry, your legislation, and your champions, with persona-specific prompts that mirror how a Hill staffer or reporter actually asks. See your share of voice and where the opposition out-describes you.

  • Become the source AI trusts

    When AI leans on the wrong source or your opponent's framing, Suede pinpoints the content and entity signals to fix, so your testimony, white papers, and issue hubs shape the answer instead.

  • Agents built to beat the opposition

    Suede's agents watch your issues around the clock and draft the rapid-response content and corrections your team would otherwise write by hand, so you respond to shifting narratives in hours, not news cycles.
