Then came the line we keep coming back to. At the 2026 Commons and Overseas Territories Speakers' Conference in the Cayman Islands, Anguilla was cited as an example for other parliaments to follow.
That system is WhoSaidWhat, our Hansard AI platform. And that recognition is our work.
What WhoSaidWhat does
WhoSaidWhat listens to the proceedings of the House and turns hours of debate into an accurate, attributed, searchable record, automatically. The official Hansard — once dependent on slow manual transcription — becomes something a clerk can produce in a fraction of the time, with every speaker correctly identified.
That matters more than it first appears. The Hansard isn't paperwork; it's the public memory of a democracy, the permanent record of what was said and by whom. When producing it is slow and costly, accountability lags. When it's fast and reliable, accountability keeps pace.
The real story is where it was built
But the real story isn't that Anguilla bought technology. It's that Anguilla built it, at home, and was named the example others should follow. Parliamentary recording is a challenge every legislature shares, from the largest national assemblies to the smallest island chambers — and the old assumption was that serious solutions had to come from somewhere bigger. Anguilla just disproved that, well enough to be pointed to on a regional stage.
The same system serving our House of Assembly can serve any parliament, council, or tribunal across the Caribbean and beyond. The need is universal; the proof is now local.
"Small island, big ambition."
The Governor tied Anguilla's growing reputation in technology — including the island's globally recognised .ai identity — to a hope that Anguillians can build careers at the cutting edge right here at home. WhoSaidWhat is one concrete piece of that: an Anguillian company solving a real institutional problem with modern AI, keeping the talent and the value on the island.
That's the version of "small island, big ambition" we believe in — not a slogan, but software that works on a Tuesday morning while the House is in session.
We're proud, and grateful for the recognition. But being named a model others follow is a beginning, not a finish line. We built WhoSaidWhat for our own parliament first because that's home — and built it to travel, because the problem it solves doesn't stop at our shores.
