Hi everyone,

@jlwaugh and I are excited to share the **alpha release** of the new **AI Governance Dashboard** – a major step in our [AI Governance Product Roadmap](https://gov.near.org/t/ai-governance-product-roadmap/41683). The dashboard connects all Discourse governance activity with NEAR AI Cloud — bringing AI-generated analysis, summaries, and a chat assistant into one place — making it easier for stakeholders to understand proposals and follow their discussions.

👉 **Try the alpha [here](https://neargov.ai).**

# What the Dashboard Can Do Today

Over the past month, we have sprinted to pack in as much as we can to this release.

The functionality we currently support includes:

- **NEAR AI Cloud Integration:** all AI features run on NEAR AI Cloud

- **Chatbot:** ask questions about any proposal or discussion.

- **Discourse Integration:** all proposals and replies viewable and included in the context of the AI chatbot

- **Proposal Screening:** evaluate proposals using an AI screening rubric  
_Note: this rubric is provisional and will be updated as the Screening Committee’s screening rubric is finalized._

- **Author Pre-screening:** proposal authors can check their draft before posting.

- **Proposal Summaries:** more quickly digest the key facts through AI summaries

- **Revision Analysis:** AI highlights when substantive changes have been made so that users don’t have to manually review the revision history

- **Discussion Analysis:** keep track of a proposal discussion by using AI to extract overall sentiment, key themes, core disagreements, hot takes, how the consensus is evolving, and any loose ends (e.g. unanswered questions)

- **Reply Summaries:** individual replies can be summarized to more quickly digest the key points being made

# Help Us Improve the Dashboard

We’ve created a Telegram group for alpha testers:

👉 [Link here](https://t.me/+ZtWnImsSLF8yNjNh).

We’re especially looking for feedback on:

- **Bugs** or anything that doesn’t work as expected

- **Confusing flows** or unclear interactions

- **Copy and UX suggestions**

- **AI responses** that miss key context, emphasize the wrong things, or feel low-quality

- **Feature requests** – anything you feel is missing or would make the dashboard more useful

Just join the group and send us your thoughts!

# What’s Coming Before the Public Launch (EOY)

Here’s what we’re planning to ship before the general release:

- **Alpha feedback improvements**

- **Post to Discourse:** connect your NEAR + Discourse accounts and draft, edit, or publish proposals/replies (with chatbot assistance) from inside the dashboard

- **Onchain Integrations:** view when a proposal moves on-chain, track its status, and jump straight to its Agora voting page

- **Richer Proposal Analysis:** analyze a proposal in the context of all proposals, plus other improvements to how analysis is performed/presented

- **Prompt Settings:** users can customize the prompts used for their analysis, laying the groundwork for the Evaluation Ecosystem described in our [roadmap](https://gov.near.org/t/ai-governance-product-roadmap/41683)

- **Enhanced Author Tools:** a smarter authoring assistant that helps refine proposals before publication

- **AI Delegate Preview:** delegate to a shade agent that votes based on the AI analysis in the dashboard; an early experiment to preview/test the next product on our roadmap

We’ll post **weekly changelogs** in this thread so you can follow progress and help us test new functionality. Click the bell icon to be notified when we reply to this thread.

Hi @jacklaing and @jlwaugh

I’ve scheduled an interview with Jack for Monday, but I’d already like to share some feedback on the dashboard, which I tested after the implementation of your new features and fixes.

**1. NEAR Gov AI Chat - [https://neargov.ai/chat](https://neargov.ai/chat)**

> [@jacklaing](#):
>
> Chat with NEAR AI Cloud verification. [https://neargov.ai/chat](https://neargov.ai/chat)

I have a question: how is this chat different from the assistant chat that appears when viewing a proposal? At the moment, it seems like we have two separate chats, and it’s not entirely clear why.

I tested the NEAR Gov AI Chat and noticed several issues:

**- The chat answers any questions** , even those completely unrelated to HoS or governance. For example, it easily gave me an answer about Ukrainian history, which has nothing to do with HoS or NEAR.

 ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/gov_near/original/3X/3/e/3e0b601497aed11509350af537205735c8b622c5.jpeg)  
For comparison: the assistant on the proposal page correctly refuses to answer such questions.  
 ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/gov_near/original/3X/8/7/8734f68c2ddaf85eaa793f49bb95fdf86e206c6a.jpeg)

**- The chat does not understand the HoS concept very well.**  
When I asked how to create a proposal, instead of giving an HoS-specific guide, it provided a generic description of how to create proposals in general.

 ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/gov_near/original/3X/6/5/6540f6b40368dc97322789b94257a11333eb96f1.jpeg)

**- Navigation is unclear.**  
I couldn’t find a direct link to this chat in the Dashboard - it seems there is no button for it. Currently, the only way to access it is through the link on the forum.

**2. Opening proposals in a new tab via Cmd+Click**

This is a useful improvement, but I have a question:  
what about Windows users?  
Perhaps we should also support the Windows equivalent - Ctrl + Click to cover both types of devices.

**3. Fixing tab titles in proposal details**

> [@jacklaing](#):
>
> fix proposal details tab titles

It looks like there might be a bug here: the titles didn’t get fixed - they actually disappeared or were removed.

Thank you for amazing work here, hope this feedback will help!

**Post date:** [November 23, 2025, 10:51pm UTC](https://gov.near.org/t/ai-governance-dashboard-alpha-we-d-love-your-feedback/41774/4 "2025-11-23T22:51:01Z")

This is an awesome tool and I have been testing it out myself. I signed up for a user interview tomorrow. @HackHumanity mentioned I should go forth and put up a [proposal](https://gov.near.org/t/house-of-stake-mission-vision-values-mvv-draft-for-community-review/41659/25#p-140198-missing-data-driven-governance-layer-institutional-memory-19) for the Governance Memory System and the AI Governance Dashboard plugs into this scaffolding nicely.

A few specific data-model upgrades I think would materially improve the dashboard, add to GMS, and set up the ecosystem for proper decision analysis later:

**1. Lifecycle Metadata**

- Proposal states (draft → screened → cycle → on-chain open → passed/failed → implemented/abandoned)

- Timestamps for each state transition

- On-chain linkages (Agora IDs, tx hashes, vote tallies)

These give us traceability and let us reconstruct how decisions actually moved through the system.

**2. Structured Classification**

- Proposal type (param change, budget, program, meta-gov, etc.)

- Domain tags (technical, treasury, governance, infra, community)

- Impact scope + time horizon

This makes proposals comparable instead of just chronological.

\*\*3. Stable Evaluation Fields  
\*\*  
Currently the review categories are helpful for authors, but they provide AI-generated proposal critique categories, not structured metadata fields we can use inside GMS or governance tooling. We need numeric/categorical fields that can be compared across proposals and cycles. Here are some examples:

**Core Evaluation Fields**

- clarity\_of\_problem (0–5)

- feasibility (0–5)

- risk\_level (0–5 or categorical)

- alignment\_with\_mvv (0–5)

- reversibility (categorical)

- defined\_kpis (boolean + list)

### **Structural Metadata Fields**

- proposal\_type

- domain

- lifecycle\_state

- authorship

- timestamps

This becomes anchorable data for follow-up analysis.

**4. Discussion Analytics as Data**

- sentiment\_score (0–1 or categorical)
- top\_themes (list)
- unanswered\_questions (list)
- consensus\_state (categorical: rough consensus, polarized, etc.)

Super helpful for anyone trying to understand how alignment shifts over a proposal lifecycle.

**5. Export / API**  
Even a simple CSV/JSON export or minimal API makes it possible for researchers, stewards, or tooling teams to build higher-order dashboards on top.

**6. Outcome-ready Fields**  
Something simple like:

- 30/60/90 day check-in fields

- freeform outcome notes

- link to follow-up discussion or metrics

This anchors proposals to actual results rather than letting them disappear after a vote.

The MVV update already highlighted the need for a DAO Data Strategy, this would give the ecosystem the data infrastructure to actually pull that off with GMS. Happy to help refine any of this if useful.

Hey folks, here’s the latest sprint update from last week.

**Highlights from last week:**

- Added tool calling to neargov.ai Chat: proposal search/select, HoS docs
- Reviewed all feedback to date and locked in scope freeze for EOY MVP release. Choosing to focus on depth/polish of existing features like chat, rather than adding more features.
- Scoped Hack Humanity support work: design audit/recommendations, eng support, chat testing
- Planned GTM / user acquisition

**Upcoming week’s plan**

- Making Chat the home page so that users can ask questions as soon as they land at neargov.ai
- Discourse write: posting, replying
- Analog search in proposals list
- Onchain proposals view
- Refactor screening criteria
- Testing: UAT, chat quality
- User interviews. Particularly testing the user journey landing on Chat, to identify improvements (e.g. buttons with suggested prompts like “Show recent proposals”)

Thanks for the feedback @haenko and @Othman, I’m looking forward to unpacking these in our interviews!

If you go to neargov.ai now you should see that you can search proposals from chat.

It was previously on another page but we’re testing it out as the landing page.
