The Lobbyist Assistant AI Worker fundamentally transforms how logistics and supply chain organizations engage with the complex regulatory landscape by automating the creation of high-stakes policy impact letters. By synthesizing real-time operational data with legislative text from the Federal Register and WTO databases, this worker drafts persuasive, evidence-backed narratives that quantify the economic harm of proposed tariffs or supply chain mandates.
This capability moves advocacy from a reactive manual process to a proactive strategic asset, allowing firms to secure critical exclusions and shape policy outcomes with unprecedented speed and precision.
What is Lobbyist Assistant?
- Autonomous Regulatory Narrative Generation. The Lobbyist Assistant is a specialized agentic AI designed to draft high-precision policy impact letters that influence trade legislation and regulatory enforcement. It ingests your proprietary supply chain data-including HS codes, route costs, and supplier tiers-and cross-references it with live legislative proposals like Section 301 tariff adjustments or EU CBAM mandates. The worker then generates legally robust, data-rich advocacy letters tailored to specific committees, trade representatives, and government agencies. Instead of generic pleas, it produces quantified arguments citing exact financial exposure, employment risks, and supply chain fragility metrics.
Replaces:
- Manual synthesis of Harmonized System (HS) code exposure against new tariff lists.
- Drafting individual exemption request letters for thousands of specific SKUs or components.
- Gathering historical shipment volume evidence to prove economic injury or lack of domestic availability.
- Monitoring the Federal Register daily for comment periods and deadline tracking.
- Coordinating multi-jurisdictional advocacy campaigns across disparate legal teams and external lobbyists.

Why Lobbyist Assistant
- Quantified Persuasion. Regulators demand data, not anecdotes. This worker automatically calculates and embeds the total landed cost impact of proposed rules into every letter, using real-time logic to demonstrate how a policy change like the De Minimis suspension affects your bottom line.
- Rapid Response to Policy Shocks. When geopolitical events trigger sudden regulatory shifts-such as the 10% tariff drops linked to fentanyl negotiations-the Assistant drafts impact assessments and response letters in minutes, ensuring you never miss a tight public comment window.
- Scalable Grassroots Advocacy. It can generate thousands of unique, localized letters for employees or partners to send to their representatives, customizing the economic impact data for specific congressional districts or regions to maximize political pressure.
- Audit-Ready Consistency. Every letter generated relies on a Single Source of Truth from your ERP and legal playbooks, ensuring that arguments made to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) align perfectly with those made to the Department of Commerce, reducing the risk of contradictory statements.
How It Works
Workflow Automation
How Digital Sales Room Orchestrator integrates with your systems
Curates personalized content libraries for buyer stakeholders and builds deal rooms with engagement tracking.
- Ingestion & Monitoring: The worker continuously scans global regulatory feeds (e.g., Federal Register, EU Official Journal) and your internal shipment data. It identifies specific proposals, such as changes to Section 232 steel tariffs, that intersect with your bill of materials.
- Impact Simulation: It runs a "What-If" simulation to quantify the cost of the proposed policy. For example, it calculates the price elasticity impact of a new duty on your specific product lines, using formulas like E_D = % ΔQ / % ΔP to forecast demand destruction.
- Drafting & Personalization: Using a retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) framework, it drafts the impact letter. It selects the appropriate legal tone-"Super Professional" and authoritative-citing specific statutes and economic data points to substantiate claims of harm or necessity.
- Review & Submission: The worker presents the draft with a "Chain of Thought" audit trail explaining its reasoning and data sources. Once approved by a human-in-the-loop, it formats the letter for the specific submission portal (e.g., regulations.gov) or prepares it for email distribution to stakeholders.
