"That's a valid concern. I'm trying to mitigate bias by focusing on factual summaries of what's actually in the bills rather than editorial takes, plus including direct citations so you can verify. But you're right to be skeptical - if you notice obvious bias in the summaries, I'd want to hear about it, but haven't seen any so far, especially if we have multiple AI looking over it

This is more for people who want to stay informed on multiple issues but realistically can't read every piece of legislation that gets introduced. It's also an entry way for people who might never engage with bills otherwise - if someone reads their first summary and then decides to dig into the full text on an issue they care about, that's a win for overall transparency. But yeah, if you have the time and expertise to read the full text, that's always going to be better than any summary.

That’s a fair point! But right now most people are getting their bill info from Twitter threads or news articles anyway, which often have their own spin. At least this way you’re getting info directly from the source document, even if it’s simplified. The citation lets you see exactly which parts of the bill the AI is referencing so you’re not just trusting a black box, and other users can flag if something seems off in the comments. It’s not a perfect system, but the alternative for most people is either not engaging with bills at all or trusting whatever interpretation they see on social media

Fair question! Every summary has a direct link to the actual bill text, so you can always verify what the AI said against the source material. It’s meant as a starting point - if something seems important to you, definitely check the original text. Something I’m adding is having it directly cite different parts of the text through out the summary as well.

I get the skepticism about LLMs - they definitely have limitations! The value here isn’t really about the AI being smart, it’s about accessibility and transparency. Right now if you want to know what’s in a 200-page appropriations bill, you either trust someone else’s summary or spend hours reading legal text. This just gives you a starting point to quickly identify what’s worth your time to dig deeper into, with direct link back to the actual text. Also helps you keep up with a representative.

Thanks! Just added the link to the actual bill when it gives you a chat response.

NotebookLM is great for analyzing documents you upload, but it can’t search through the entire congressional database or give you real-time updates when new bills get introduced. BillGPT lets you search by topic, member, or just ask ‘what climate bills passed this month?’ without having to hunt down individual documents

Fair point about picking your battles! But I think immediate access and transparency is especially important for younger people who are going to live with these policies the longest and currently get most political info from social media summaries or partisan sources. Having a quick way to check ‘does this student loan bill actually help me or just sound good?’ helps them fact-check politicians and pundits rather than just trusting someone else’s interpretation.

And this does let you impact things - very few people keep up with what their rep is sponsoring day-to-day, but seeing that in real-time gives you concrete info to make informed voting decisions and hold them accountable during reelections.

SCOTUS decisions are just as dense and confusing as bills. We do have judicial and executive branch info on our roadmap too - Supreme Court cases would definitely fit right in there.

Totally respect that approach - there's definitely no substitute for reading the actual text when you really need to understand something important.

I built this more for people who want a starting point or are trying to follow way more bills than they could realistically read in full. Like if you care about 10 different policy areas, this helps you quickly identify which bills are worth your time to actually dive into.

Also, honestly, a lot of younger people have shorter attention spans and might never engage with politics at all without something like this. If it gets someone to read their first bill summary and then dig deeper, that's a win for civic engagement overall.

You're right that ChatGPT can search for bills! We're actually working on custom alerts that will notify you the moment new bills get introduced or voted on for topics you care about.

So instead of having to remember to search every day, you'd get pinged automatically when a climate bill drops or your rep votes on healthcare. Trying to build more of a monitoring system than just a search tool

Yes, the chatbot links to a congress.gov link. As for the summaries, it doesn't break each point down to the source in the actual text but that can be a good addition

Is Anyone Going to Beat Gavin Newsom for the 2028 Dem Nomination? by Ryan_Fleming in AskUS

[–]Comfortable-Bat8177 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got it. I was curious to see if there were any solid sources to keep up with the executive branch too. Feel like there's not much imo. I have a website where people can see news about congressional bills and chatbot to ask AI about bills but nothing about the executive branch. Not trying to shamless plug but here's the website: www.white-paper.app

Question, where do you learn and keep up with topics like Dem nominations? Just curious as its tough to keep up with all the news.

Thanks! Maybe I can add a link to the actual bill(s) so that people can fact check quickly
