Public affairs.

Tools for people who work in public affairs and knowledge work: tracking BC politics live, keeping a team's read of Ottawa and every province, monitoring the media, prepping spokespeople and running the weekly call.

2.2 · Work with Gremble

Bring Gremble a problem.

Every tool on this page started as a real problem in public affairs and knowledge work: a live tracker nobody had, a read of the room that lived in people's heads, a weekly call that kept running long.

  • Built for one teamShaped around your files, your calls and your clients, not a market.
  • Private by defaultBehind your own sign-in. Nothing public unless you want it public.
  • SourcedEvery fact carries where it came from and when. The habit behind every tool here.
2.3 · Who's behind Gremble

An advisor who writes the software.

For over a decade, Jason Craik has advised business leaders and governments across Canada, the US, the UK and Australia where policy, reputation and technology meet. He has counselled Premiers and Cabinet Ministers on crisis communications, issues and strategic positioning, and has led the digital and integrated communications practice in Western Canada for a national public relations firm.

He founded Gremble to build tools for public affairs and knowledge work, from the live BC tracker to agent kits and team consoles. Because the tools come from someone who does the work, they fit how it actually gets done.

2.4 Questions

How can I track BC politics live?

BCPoliTracker is a free, live tracker of the BC legislature at bcpoli.gremble.io, and it followed the 2026 provincial election riding by riding through the count. It has every seat change since 2024 with date and source, every public poll as published, a news wire and a page for each of the 93 ridings. It refreshes every 10 minutes, and every row is tagged confirmed or reported.

What tools does Gremble build for public affairs and knowledge work?

BCPoliTracker follows BC politics live, seat by seat. Triage reads the news every 15 minutes and flags what each client needs to see. Intel Console keeps a team's read of Ottawa and all ten provinces, attributed and dated. OnRecord puts spokespeople through hostile interviews with an AI journalist. Issues Console holds a team's key messages, calendar and stakeholders in one place. Chyron runs the weekly call like a broadcast. The GR Starter Kit sets up an AI agent for government-relations work, with guardrails.

How does Gremble approach media monitoring?

BCPoliTracker uses a specialised small model to make media monitoring cheap and accurate, with sourcing gates on every fact. The GR Starter Kit runs media monitoring mapped to your own files, alongside a national politics scan.

Can AI agents be trusted with client work?

Only with guardrails. In Crypt and the GR Starter Kit the agent asks before it edits your notes and takes the date from the clock, and every brief includes a minister-name check. In the Issues Console every AI edit is stamped and versioned. The Intel Console holds the public record and the team's own read, never client data.

How can a spokesperson practise for a hostile interview?

OnRecord puts a spokesperson in a live voice interview with an AI journalist and scores them on message discipline. It is in private beta.

Does Gremble build for teams outside public affairs?

Yes. The patterns behind these tools fit any team that works with information: live monitoring, a shared read of a fast-moving file, sourced briefings, and AI agents that draft while a person decides.

Who builds Gremble's tools?

Gremble, the Vancouver workshop founded by Jason Craik. He is a public affairs and political risk advisor with over a decade advising business leaders and governments across Canada, the US, the UK and Australia.
