What legislators
are saying,
before it becomes a headline.
A curated set of legislators’ public social accounts, watched continuously in seven languages. Every post is read in the context of the person who wrote it — their committees, the bills they sponsor, the alliances they sit in. Far more precise than generic media monitoring, because we know who is speaking.
A media tool knows it is a post. Argus knows who posted it.
Generic media-monitoring tools treat every post as equivalent text. Argus knows the legislator behind it — their committees, voting record, the bills they have sponsored, the alliances they sit in. The signal is far sharper because the context is built in.
Keyword tools
Treats every post as keyword-matchable text. Sentiment is a number. Authors are just names.

Seven languages. Read in the original.
A legislator’s position lives in the words they choose. We read every post in its original language — topic matching, position, sentiment. Translation is for the analyst, not the model.
The full specification.
Signal can be bought on its own — you need not run the full Argus platform — or added to Core so the social layer sits alongside your parliamentary feed.
Curated, not crawled. Tuned to your brief.
We do not track everyone. We track the legislators whose words are likely to be cited, quoted or echoed — and whose silence is itself a signal. Coverage is curated to your jurisdictions, committees and priorities, and grows with your brief. The list below shows parliaments and assemblies we already follow. If you need one we do not list, that is a configuration, not a roadmap item.

Built for institutions that need to get it right.
Argus is sold to parliamentary research services, foreign-affairs ministries and accredited civil-society institutions. We do not run self-serve trials — we run a 60-day paid pilot against your real workflow, with a named engineer on the account from day one.
