Search bank climate policies with AI: a Watchtower demo

​Banks publish hundreds of climate and sustainability policies, and they change them often. Finding what a bank has actually committed to, and whether it has quietly changed, takes hours of digging through PDFs.

​Watchtower now connects its library of bank policies directly to Claude and other AI assistants. Once it’s set up, you can ask questions in plain English and get answers drawn from the banks’ own documents, with the source. For example:

• ​What does HSBC’s policy say about new oil and gas fields?

• ​Which banks changed their coal policy this year, and what changed?

• ​How do Barclays’ and BNP Paribas’ deforestation commitments compare?

​In this 30-minute session we’ll show you how to set it up, run live examples, and answer your questions. Stay on afterwards for open Q&A if you’d like. Chat is open throughout.

​It’s useful for anyone who works on banks and climate, including campaigners, researchers, journalists and investors. No technical knowledge needed.

​When you register, tell us which bank or question you’d like us to try live.
