Achados e Pedidos (Findings and Requests) is a platform that brings together thousands of citizen requests for access to information made via the Access to Information Law (LAI) and the corresponding public administration’s responses. The initiative, led by Transparência Brasil and Abraji, facilitates access to and dissemination of public information, avoiding that repeated requests are sent to public agencies.
The database is fed by any user who wants to contribute, adding their requests and evaluating the quality of responses they received from public bodies. In 2022, the repLAI chatbot was implemented on the platform to help with drafting and sending appeals against denials of access.
