# HillGenius > HillGenius provides the fastest, most accurate congressional hearing transcripts on the market — 99% speaker attribution accuracy, delivered in under 30 minutes, with built-in AI tools for analysis and memo drafting. Built for government affairs professionals, lobbying firms, and policy analysts who need to know exactly who said what. ## About HillGenius is a congressional hearing intelligence platform that delivers high-quality, searchable transcripts for ALL congressional hearings and markups in under 30 minutes, with industry-leading speaker identification accuracy. Beyond transcripts, we provide AI-powered analysis tools that help government affairs professionals turn raw hearing content into strategic intelligence. ## What We Do - Provide the highest quality congressional hearing transcripts on the market - Deliver transcripts within 15-30 minutes after hearing concludes - Provide searchable, timestamped documents with video jump links - Cover ALL committee hearings and markups, not just major ones - Offer AI-powered analysis and memo drafting tools - Serve government affairs professionals, policy analysts, and lobbying firms ## Key Features ### Fast, Accurate Transcripts - 15-30 minute turnaround (fastest on the market) - Auto-scaling infrastructure that handles peak hearing days (sometimes 20+ concurrent hearings) - Searchable transcript text with timestamp links to video - Comprehensive coverage of ALL House and Senate hearings - Pre-hearing noise (C-SPAN commentary, audience chatter) automatically detected and removed - Every speaker linked to official congressional records (bioguide IDs) when applicable - Professional PDF export with hearing metadata, witness lists, and participating members ### Speaker Identification This is our core technical advantage. Congressional hearings are uniquely difficult for speaker identification: dozens of speakers, rapid exchanges, crosstalk, members yielding time, witnesses rotating, and audio quality that varies widely. Most competitors rely on a single method to identify speakers. These approaches break down in real-world conditions — when audio quality drops, when speakers talk over each other, or when a witness sounds similar to a member. HillGenius uses a multi-layered, redundant identification system. Multiple independent signals are analyzed and cross-verified against each other. When one signal is weak or ambiguous, the others compensate. This redundancy is what delivers 99% speaker attribution accuracy, compared to the 60-70% range that firms encounter with other products. We measure our accuracy at the per-segment level — not just "did we get the speaker right" but "what percentage of the actual transcript text is correctly attributed." This is a harder standard than most competitors hold themselves to, and it drives our engineering priorities. ### Built-In Verification In government affairs, the people using AI tools are ultimately responsible for the accuracy of what they deliver. Rather than asking users to trust AI outputs, every AI feature in HillGenius makes it easy to verify them: - Every AI-generated claim includes a citation linking back to the specific moment in the transcript - Clicking a citation scrolls the transcript and jumps the hearing video to that exact point - A second AI pass reviews all claims and flags anything it can't verify with a red underline - The full, uncompressed transcript is always available alongside any AI output — nothing is summarized away This verification system is a core differentiator, not an add-on. It's baked into both the AI Analyst and Ghostwriter. ### AI Analyst - Ask questions about hearing content in natural language - Get intelligent responses with specific citations and timestamps - Identify bipartisan agreements/disagreements, company mentions, key themes - Click any citation to jump to that moment in the transcript and video - Full transcript analyzed — no compression or summarization ### Ghostwriter (Memo Drafting) - AI-powered memo drafting that matches your firm's writing style - Upload examples of your previous memos to train the style, tone, and section structure - Every claim automatically cited back to source transcript with highlights - Second verification pass flags potential hallucinations with red underlines - Gets you 75% of the way to a finished memo - Export to Word for final editing ## Our Philosophy HillGenius is a tool, not a silver bullet. We built this platform for professionals who are personally accountable for the information they share with clients. AI can dramatically improve efficiency and even quality, but it doesn't replace the judgment of someone who understands the policy landscape, knows what their client needs, and takes responsibility for the final product. Our tools are designed to make that person faster and more thorough — not to cut them out of the process. ## Target Audience - Government affairs professionals - Policy analysts - Lobbying firms and consultants - Corporate government relations teams - Think tanks and policy research organizations - Law firms with government affairs practices - Trade associations ## Problem We Solve Traditional congressional monitoring requires junior staff spending hours watching hearings in real time, manual note-taking that leads to missed details, and limited coverage of only major hearings. Transcripts from other sources arrive next day or later. Firms that have evaluated multiple transcription products find that most are close to good enough, but the last mile of accuracy — especially on speaker attribution — is what separates usable from unusable. ## Founder Founded by Zack Dareshori, whose background spans Capitol Hill (House Energy and Commerce Committee staff), the Executive Branch, healthcare government affairs, and three years as a machine learning engineer supporting the Department of Defense — building advanced operational research tools and AI systems for intelligence analysts. This combination of policy domain expertise and hands-on ML engineering is reflected in how the product is built. ## Company Values - End the Tedium: Automate grunt work so professionals can focus on strategy - Accuracy First: We spent our first year on transcription quality before building any other features - Information When It Matters: Provide both thoroughness and timeliness - Strategic Advantage: Help clients be the first to brief their clients after every hearing ## Website https://hillgenius.com ## Key Pages - Homepage: Product overview and value proposition - About: Company story, founder background, and values - Pricing: Subscription plans and pricing information - FAQ: Frequently asked questions about features and capabilities - Contact: Get in touch for demos and questions - Sign Up: Create account and get started ## Industry Government Technology (GovTech), Policy Intelligence, Congressional Monitoring
