The core principle: Acta's AI does not have political opinions. It serves your opinions. When you describe an issue, the AI generates content that advocates for the position you expressed, not a balanced overview, and not a position we chose for you.
Nonpartisan does not mean neutral on every issue. It means we serve every user's perspective with equal commitment and equal quality. A citizen who wants stronger fiscal discipline gets the same quality of policy brief and letters as one who wants more public investment. Someone advocating for new local development gets the same civic action tools as a neighbor working to preserve open space.
We do not take positions. We do not moderate your views. We do not soften your argument to make it more palatable to the other side. Your civic voice belongs to you.
Every AI prompt explicitly instructs Claude to advocate for the position you expressed, not to present a balanced overview. The AI reads what you wrote and generates content that helps you make your specific case effectively.
Every AI prompt includes an explicit instruction to use language that could come from any point on the political spectrum. The AI avoids terms associated with specific parties or movements and focuses on practical outcomes and lived experience.
The AI is explicitly instructed not to cite specific statistics, vote counts, or bill numbers unless it is certain they are accurate. Where facts would strengthen your argument, it tells you what to look up rather than inventing information.
Every AI-generated output includes a "Report a concern" link. If you believe an output is politically biased, in any direction, you can report it directly to our team. We review every report and use it to improve our prompts.
We regularly test our AI outputs across issues and perspectives to ensure the quality of generated content is consistent regardless of the political direction. If we find that outputs for one side of an issue are better than the other, we fix the prompts.
We do not promote specific candidates, parties, or movements. We do not accept advertising or sponsorship that could influence our outputs. We do not share your individual data with political campaigns. We do not allow our platform to be used for coordinated inauthentic behavior or astroturfing.
Acta's business model is built on the value of authentic constituent intelligence, real people expressing their real views. Compromising that authenticity by introducing bias would destroy the value of what we've built. Our commercial interests align with our nonpartisanship commitment.
We are honest about the fact that perfect nonpartisanship is impossible. Every word choice is a choice. AI systems trained on human-generated text reflect patterns in that text. We work actively to counteract those patterns through our prompting, but we cannot guarantee that every output is perfectly neutral in its language choices.
What we can guarantee is that we are genuinely trying, that we have specific mechanisms in place to enforce nonpartisanship, and that we take reports of bias seriously and act on them.
If you believe an Acta output is politically biased, in any direction, please tell us. We review every report.
