Beans takes on the work that fills a lobbying firm’s week: scheduling, disclosure filings, policy research and business development.
Works with Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace.
Every lobbying firm has time-consuming tasks that pull people away from the work only they can do. We speed them up with targeted tools.
Scheduling
Principals and their assistants text or email Beans to find times, move meetings and draft invites. It checks every calendar involved, flags conflicts before a client notices, and waits for approval before anything goes out.
See how it worksCompliance
Every FARA deadline means reconstructing a quarter’s worth of client contacts. Beans gathers the emails and meetings with each client from your inboxes and calendars, fills gaps through a short AI-led interview, and drafts the record in the format you file.
Policy research
Bill text, committee activity, agency notices and press coverage, pulled into one place and sorted by issue. Your analysts spend their time writing the memo instead of building the reading list.
Stakeholder intelligence
See how a member or official has handled an issue across the bills they’ve backed, their votes, hearing remarks and public statements. Each summary links to its sources so you can check it.
Business development
Watches for legislative changes and public filings that could bring in new work, maps the organizations affected to your partners’ LinkedIn networks, and drafts outreach for a partner to review.
A lobbying calendar answers to someone else’s schedule. Hearings get moved and markups slip, often in the same week a client asks for time. Beans keeps up with it so your staff don’t have to.
Text it as you would an assistant: “move my 3 o’clock” or “what does Thursday look like?” It reads your calendar, proposes times and drafts the invites, which wait for your approval by default. It works just as well between meetings on the Hill.
Finding an hour for three partners and two associates shouldn’t take a reply-all thread. Beans checks every calendar involved and comes back with a short list of times that actually work.
Our AI-native calendar tracks the scheduling communications behind your meetings and keeps the calendar in sync. When two commitments overlap, Beans flags it and proposes a fix before anyone is left waiting in a lobby.
We sit down with the people who do the work, from principals and their executive assistants to compliance and research staff, and map how your firm actually runs.
We connect Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, set who can act for whom, and agree which actions need a person’s sign-off. You can change those rules at any time.
Your team starts texting and emailing the assistant. We stay involved through the first weeks and adjust it to how your people work.
Lobbying firms run on discretion and hard deadlines. We’ve built software for some of the largest firms in Washington, and every Beans deployment is held to the standard they expect.
No account managers in between: what you tell us in the briefing goes straight into the product.
