What delegates asked Clem at Labour Party Annual Conference in 2025

Across the Liverpool gathering, Ask Clem fielded recurring queries about finding the right session at the right time, locating fringe events, and understanding who was speaking where, echoing its role as a live navigation layer for the conference experience.

Delegates frequently probed AI-focused content, policy implications, and real-world applications, reflecting the broader conference emphasis on data, digital infrastructure, and AI for public service transformation.

There was sustained curiosity about Clem’s origins and sponsorship, with a steady stream of questions about who built it and how it works, underscoring rising interest in applied, trustworthy AI tools at political events.

When conversations stretched into complex policy judgement or unavailable source documents, users accepted neutral, factual replies while occasionally seeking human handoff, signalling a healthy blend of automation plus access to people when needed.

Dominant themes from the conversations

• AI and digital transformation were the gravitational centre of interest, aligning with conference stages and fringes focused on harnessing data and AI for growth and better government.

• Practical wayfinding beat abstract debate: attendees wanted crisp schedules, fringe listings, and pointers to official sources, and Ask Clem’s concierge-style answers matched that need.

• Curiosity about the assistant itself showed a wider appetite for transparent, purpose-built AI, especially when it is embedded in the flow of a major public event.

• The most satisfying exchanges combined neutral tone, provenance-aware links, and succinct summaries, while sensitive or speculative topics were handled with careful deferral and optional escalation to humans.

  
  

How this maps to 2025’s AI moment

Ministers and expert panels framed AI as both an engine for productivity and a toolkit for evidence‑based policymaking, mirroring what delegates sought from Clem: concrete, usable answers over hype. Fringe agendas and partner events spotlighted the path from ambition to adoption, skills, infrastructure, and secure deployment, precisely the areas that determine whether organisations turn AI intent into operational value.

A linguistic nugget from the floor

For those who enjoy a wry aside, in Welsh “I don’t have a clue” is Does gen i ddim clem, which felt delightfully on‑brand for an assistant named Clem that ensured delegates rarely felt clue‑less.

What organisations can take from Clem

Conference users reward AI that is grounded in verified sources, tuned to the domain, and engineered for fast, context‑aware retrieval rather than generic chat, which is why Ask Clem’s purpose‑built design earned sustained engagement in Liverpool. Equally, the need for graceful handoff, transparent guardrails, and analytics on what people ask for most is now table stakes for any AI that faces customers, citizens, or delegates.
