Short answer

How can I track government expenses with AI?

You give your AI the name of a person or company, and it pulls their payment history and supporting documents from the Portal da Transparência. You get a direct way to audit public spending without manual searching. This breakdown shows you how it works.

The results you get

Where your data lands

Your agent turns raw government data into organized files and lists.

DATA

Payment records

The AI pulls specific transaction details for the entity you name. You get a clear list of how much was paid and when.

FILES

Expense documentation

Your agent finds the actual documents tied to each payment. You get the files needed to verify the spending.

AUDIT

Spending patterns

By gathering multiple records, your AI helps you see how much a specific contractor receives over time. You can spot trends in public funds.

HUMAN

Manual review

The AI fetches the data, but you have to read the documents to decide if the spending is legitimate. It doesn't make legal judgments.

The workflow

What your AI does when the request arrives.

The AI acts as a bridge between your chat and the government database.

  1. Target identification

    Your agent takes the name of the company or individual you want to investigate. It prepares the search parameters for the portal.

  2. Fetch payment records

    The AI queries the Portal da Transparência for all recorded expenses for that beneficiary. It retrieves the transaction amounts and dates.

    get_despesas_documentos_por_favorecido

  3. Retrieve documents

    The agent pulls the specific expense documentation linked to those payments. This provides the proof behind the numbers.

  4. Data organization

    The AI presents the files and payment history in your chat. You can then ask it to summarize the total spent or find specific dates.
