RegWatch

A monitoring service that watches Brazil's federal gazette (the DOU) and alerts professional-services firms when their clients or topics are mentioned.

RegWatch is a monitoring service for Brazil's federal gazette, the Diário Oficial da União (DOU). It watches each new edition and alerts professional-services firms — law and accounting practices and the like — whenever their clients or tracked topics are mentioned, so they no longer have to scan the gazette by hand. Built on Django and PostgreSQL, it uses Postgres full-text search to match mentions and LLM summarization to turn dense official-language passages into a short, readable digest. It is being built in public.
