Hey guys! We were super frustrated not being able to understand the laws, organizations, and people that affected us. With over 8,500 bills/resolutions in front of Congress and only 7% that pass on average - there was a lot to unpack (not even including the states!). So, we used our background in AI/NLP to build a product that brings government affairs into the modern world.

Hey! Are you taking a different approach from Fiscal Note (https://fiscalnote.com/) or this is something similar?

I love this! What does the AI actually do / why is AI necessary for this problem?

Thanks for the comment! Because of the vast amount of data, we saw an opportunity to use natural language processing to better parse and understand the millions of documents that existed. This allows for faster discovery of information, more relevant data being served, and a better understanding of the text.

I'm afraid that your site is entirely broken and will not load when using an ad/script blocker. That being said, the idea behind this sounds very cool!
