Bunge Bits summarizes long parliamentary sessions from the Kenyan National Assembly and Senate. Built with Rust, Whisper v3, and GPT-4o.

Sessions are typically 3–7 hours long, mixing English and Swahili. This tool transcribes, chunks, and summarizes them to make political content more accessible and searchable for the public.

I was thinking about something like this for county and city level meetings.
