Think inside your AI world.
How do I get told when a government consultation opens on my topic?
A consultation is only useful to you if you hear about it with time to write a proper response. They are published openly the day they open, alongside the ones that are closing. What you want is the one on your topic, from the department you watch, with enough runway left to actually answer, not a list of everything closing on Friday.
The construction is the open consultations data plus your own bar. Government consultations, with their topics, departments and closing dates, are published without a key. Your rule is something like “on my topic, and at least three weeks to respond.” Through Unl a matching consultation arrives beside that rule when your policy work comes up, stamped with when it opened and when it closes. Unl brings the match; whether and how you respond is yours.
The person
Someone who responds to consultations for a living or a cause, a charity, a trade body, a professional association, and who has missed one before because they heard too late. They watch specific topics and departments, and they need the runway to write something worth reading.
The pieces, and how far each one reaches
| Source | What it gives you | Reach today |
|---|---|---|
| Government consultations feed | Open consultations with their topic, department, opening and closing dates, so one can be matched to your topic and your runway rule. | Published openly and keyless. Coverage is the government consultations that are listed; some bodies publish their own separately, which is disclosed. |
| Your topics and departments | The areas and departments you watch, so the match is the consultation you would actually answer, not the whole list. | Yours; never leaves your frame. |
The honest limit is coverage, not access. The central government consultations list is open and keyless; some arms-length bodies and devolved administrations publish their own consultations separately, so a rule set only against the central list may not catch every relevant call, and that gap is disclosed. Paste-time verification shows what the feed currently returns.
The rule, in their words
- “On my topic, from the departments I watch.”
- “At least three weeks between opening and the closing date, so there is time to respond well.”
- “Open now, not one I have already missed.”
The compound is topic AND runway, together. A blanket gov.uk alert lists everything, including the consultations closing tomorrow that you can no longer usefully answer. The rule that a consultation be on your topic AND leave you real time to respond is what turns a broad alert into a call you can actually act on, and Unl serves the match rather than ranking which to prioritise.
Unprompted
Your AI
One meets the rule you set: on your topic, and at least three weeks to respond. A consultation from a department you watch opened this week on one of your topics, and it closes in five weeks, so you have the runway your rule asks for.
That is from the open consultations data, stamped with when it opened and when it closes. It is the match; which consultations you take on is your call.
The consultation arrived against the body’s own topic-and-runway rule, from the open register, with time to spare and no priority ranking attached. Whether to respond is theirs.
Why this beats the dashboard
A gov.uk alert lists every consultation, including the ones already closing, and leaves you to sift for yours under time pressure. Your rule is topic AND runway, and it surfaces the one you can still answer well, in the moment your response planning is the subject. Unl brings the match with its dates attached and never tells you which to prioritise.
Being told when a consultation opens on your topic is the open consultations data read against your own bar; through Unl a consultation that meets “my topic AND three weeks to respond” arrives beside that rule, stamped with its opening and closing dates, and your own bar does the filtering, while Unl serves the match and never ranks which to answer.
Reads through Unl arrive with measured context — in the presence of the decisions you’ve already settled. The reach lane is live: one box, paste anything. If it speaks MCP, Unl can reach it. Readings arrive unprompted, the data beside the criterion; Unl is a courier, not a warehouse, and keeps only your keys and the frame.

Questions people ask
Does this catch every consultation?
It catches the central government consultations that are published openly, which is the bulk; some arms-length bodies and the devolved administrations publish their own separately, so a rule set only against the central list may miss those, and the page discloses that rather than implying total coverage. The feed is verified at paste, and the page promises a measured read against your rule, not a claim to have every call.
Does Unl decide which consultations matter most?
No. Unl brings the consultation that meets your rule, your topic with real runway, beside that rule and stamped with its dates, and stops. It does not rank consultations or tell you which to prioritise; the judging is your own bar, and which you respond to is entirely yours.
How is this different from a gov.uk email alert?
A standard alert lists everything, including consultations already closing that you can no longer usefully answer. Your rule pairs your topic with a runway condition, so the reading surfaces the one you can still respond to well, in the moment your planning is actually the subject rather than as a list you skim and forget.
