Feedback Requested. Oklahoma politicians won't answer you. I built something that will.

Feedback Requested. Oklahoma politicians won't answer you. I built something that will.

 

I got tired of my Oklahoma reps ignoring me, so I built AI personas of them  grounded in their actual public record.

Oklahoma politicians are busy people. Too busy to reply to your emails. Too busy to show up to town halls. Too busy to give you a straight answer.

So I built OKPoliticians, an app where you can chat directly with AI personas of Oklahoma candidates and officeholders.

The goal is to make each persona as accurate as possible, not just a costume. I'm actively pulling in as much real data as I can to best reflect each politician: floor speeches, voting history, campaign platforms, public interviews, policy positions. For example, If a rep has a strong pro-Second Amendment record, the persona reflects that. If they've flip-flopped on a tax bill, the persona knows it.

The Webapp:

- Personas are YAML-driven, built from researched public records

- Live web search mid-conversation so they stay current when something new happens

- Built on the Anthropic API, deployed on Google Cloud Run with Streamlit

Use it to:

- Ask your rep how they'd vote on a bill

- Challenge them on a position they've taken

- Compare candidates on issues that matter to you

It's free and if you enjoy, please consider donating in app: https://okpoliticians-7ibgbjnnyq-uc.a.run.app/

Would love feedback, especially from Oklahomans on who to add next, and from builders on how you'd approach the persona grounding problem.

I don't think Munson's platform is that strong.

I will get downvoted for this I know, but I just don't think it is. I voted for her in the primary. There are not enough people in this state who give a hoot about education. Those that do, are involved in their kids' school lives or send their kids to private schools. Too many look at it as free daycare and blame all lack of progress on the teacher, when in reality it is an abdication of many parental responsibilities. Munson is for repealing the state's abortion ban. Her opposition will use that as pro abortion. SO many so called christians will vote against her for that reason alone. She wants to get greater access to healthcare for state residents. How? Her platform is vague. Democrats have GOT to stop running on social issues alone. And I say this as a lifelong Democrat.
