When managing complex policy landscapes and building effective advocacy campaigns, your tools must be tailored to your needs. Choosing AI solutions is no different. Quorum Copilot and ChatGPT both offer impressive AI capabilities, but they’re not built the same way. Using ChatGPT for public affairs is like buying an off-the-rack suit—versatile but not customized for the demands of policy professionals. In contrast, Quorum Copilot’s patented AI technology is the custom suit—designed and tailored specifically for government relations tasks, ensuring a perfect fit for your advocacy strategies. We’ll highlight why the fit of your AI tool matters, focusing on Quorum Copilot's specialized capabilities, which make it the right choice for policy professionals.

The Fit Matters: Why Public Affairs Teams Need Tailored AI

The Off-the-Rack Approach: ChatGPT’s Limitations

Off-the-rack suits are designed to fit a wide range of people but rarely fit anyone perfectly. Similarly, ChatGPT’s general-purpose AI is trained on a broad dataset that spans countless topics—none of which focus on the specific needs of government affairs professionals. This results in:
  • Broad but shallow insights: ChatGPT can provide helpful information across a wide range of topics but lacks the depth needed for precise legislative analysis.
  • Outdated training data: ChatGPT’s training set is not continuously updated with real-time legislative information, making it less reliable for responding to fast-moving policy developments.
  • Manual adjustments required: Like a suit that needs alterations, ChatGPT often demands extensive input and refinement to produce actionable policy information.

The Custom Suit Approach: Quorum Copilot’s Advantages

A custom suit, by contrast, is measured and stitched for the wearer’s exact needs. Copilot operates on the same principle—its AI is built on Quorum’s proprietary legislative database and explicitly trained on legislative texts, regulatory documents, and public affairs best practices. Which leads to:
  • Deep, actionable insights: Copilot interprets legislative documents with precision, including nuanced details like stricken-through text in amended bills, to deliver reliable results that you can act on with confidence.
  • Seamless integration: Copilot is integrated into existing public affairs workflows with Quorum’s legislative tracking and CRM tools. By combining advanced AI with a unified platform that integrates all your advocacy tools, you can track legislation, manage stakeholders, raise PAC dollars, and execute grassroots campaigns all in one place.
  • Unmatched data coverage: Copilot sits on the most up-to-date and comprehensive legislative and stakeholder data, with access to more than 300,000 bills and over 250,000 officials and staffers at the state and federal levels. This ensures your insights and outreach efforts are always based on the latest and most accurate information available.

How Quorum Copilot Fits Public Affairs Needs Perfectly

AI Enhanced Legislative Insights: Policy Analysis

Copilot: Designed to streamline legislative analysis, offering features to summarize and compare complex legislation across states, highlight key provisions, and suggest strategic action. ChatGPT: Relies on publicly available internet data, which can be outdated or incomplete, and requires extensive manual input to perform similar tasks.

Real-Time Statement Tracking: Dialogue Analysis

Copilot: Sources unfiltered posts directly from lawmakers’ social media accounts, such as X and Facebook, so you can keep up with evolving dialogue and shape effective advocacy strategies. ChatGPT: Cannot access or analyze official social media posts, limiting perspective and insights.

Stakeholder Engagement: Scalable Outreach Strategies

Copilot: Pulls official and staffer contact information verified by an in-house editorial team. This ensures your data is up-to-date and instantly actionable. This feature, paired with AI-powered content creation and built-in email, allows for highly targeted outreach at scale. ChatGPT: The dataset does not update in real time, which leads to outdated information on staff roles and the need to rely on other data sources.

Technical Specifications: The Craftsmanship Behind the Custom Fit

Data Sources: Fine Fabric

  • Copilot: Trained on high-quality, purpose-built datasets, including legislative texts, regulatory documents, and policy analysis best practices.
  • ChatGPT: Uses a broad dataset from the internet, making it more like generic material—suitable for general use but lacking the premium quality required for public affairs.

Integration Capabilities: Tailored Stitching

  • Copilot: Integrates seamlessly with Quorum’s legislative tracking, CRM, and advocacy tools, ensuring a smooth and efficient workflow.
  • ChatGPT: Limited integration capabilities make it less practical for teams using specialized public affairs platforms.

Privacy and Compliance: Custom Fit for Security

  • Copilot: Adheres to strict privacy and compliance safeguards, ensuring that customer data is never used to train AI models without explicit consent. Data is protected with both Quorum's AI tools and subprocessors.
  • ChatGPT: Lacks built-in compliance features, raising concerns for teams managing confidential legislative strategies.
  • Adheres to strict data privacy standards, ensuring secure handling of sensitive government relations information and customer data.

Why Public Affairs Professionals Need a Custom Fit

In the world of public affairs, off-the-rack AI tools like ChatGPT might cover the basics, but they lack the tailored precision that complex legislative and advocacy tasks demand. Quorum Copilot’s specialized training, seamless integrations, and actionable insights make it custom-suited to every policy professional's needs.
