Corporate affairsKronical
An analyst in your corporate affairs team that follows your company across the press, politics, regulators, campaigners and investors, and tells you an issue is building before anyone asks you about it. Ask it anything about your issues.

- Trade press

Every corporate affairs team needs someone who keeps up with the press, the politics and the people around the company, and spots the issue before it reaches the chief executive. Kronical does that part of the job, around the clock.
Reading it all only helps if it knows what matters to you. That part it learns.
First, it learns what matters to you
- 1You tell it your job.
In your own words: “I run corporate affairs for a UK drinks company.”
- 2It learns what matters to you.
From what you ask it and what you tell it was useful. Each petal is one thing that matters to you: a company, a person, an issue. The more it learns about one, the bigger and bluer it grows.
- 3It reads the news against it.
So it knows a committee looking at water use is about you, though the report never names you.
Illustrative. Your own map starts from your job.
The report never named your company.
Every step it took, in order. An illustrative example.
- 1The report
A regional paper says a parliamentary committee will look at how much water bottling plants draw during droughts.
- 2On your map
Two of your plants sit in the area it names, and a campaign group you have met before is already quoting it. Your name isn’t in the report.
- 3Why it matters
If a national desk picks it up, your plants are the obvious example. You hear with time to brief the chief executive, before a reporter, a minister or an investor asks.
It works the hours the news does
- 1Early
It reads the morning papers, the night’s posts and what ministers and regulators put out overnight. Before your morning call you know what changed for the company and what the chief executive may be asked today.
- 2First sign
A regional paper quotes a minister on a rule that touches your industry. It tells you within minutes, what was said and how it reaches you.
- 3During the day
News reaches you as it lands. When an issue crosses over, from the trade press to politics or from campaigners to investors, it tells you where it went and who picked it up.
- 4In the background
It keeps track of what sits close to you: a consultation, a supplier you never named, a campaign group, a local MP. When one of them starts to drift your way, you hear about it.
- 5End of day
What moved on your issues today and why, in plain words, and what it is watching tonight.
It tells you. You decide what the company says. It does the reading, the watching and the first pass. You make the calls.
- The issues that matter to you, and where each one started
- Who has picked it up: press, politicians, campaigners or investors
- Links to you that someone could make before you do
- What it thinks you should look at next
- The sources behind every note
- What the company says, and when
- Who you brief, and who you call
- Which of its leads to follow up
One regional paper so far, and a campaign group quoting it. No national desk or minister yet. I’ll tell you if one picks it up.
It talks to you in the apps your team already uses, and answers when you reply.

We already have a monitoring tool and a public affairs service. Why this?
Each of those shows you part of the picture and leaves the joining up to you. This one knows your company, follows an issue from one audience to the next, and tells you which ones matter and why.
Does it write our statements?
No. It tells you what is being said, by whom, and how far it has gone. What the company says stays with you.
Does it cover more than the press?
Yes. It reads news, social posts, regulators, government notices, company filings and share prices together, so you can follow an issue as it moves from one to the next.
What does it read?
News, trade press, publishers, social posts, company filings, regulators and government notices, across countries and languages.
How does it learn our issues?
You tell it your job in your own words, like “I run corporate affairs for a UK drinks company”. From then on it sharpens what matters as you ask it questions and tell it what was useful.
Where does it talk to me?
Slack, Microsoft Teams and email, or from Claude and ChatGPT. Reply to anything it sends to ask a follow-up.
