About The Capitol Wire

💸

Why is this free?

Because I'm not trying to sell you a $20,000 subscription. The data is public, the hosting is cheap, and I had time on break to make it.

Why I built it

It honestly blew my mind there wasn't already an automated system to parse this instantly. We shouldn't have to manually hunt for information that is digitally available.

A Force Multiplier

I don't want this bot to replace the Legislative Assistant. It's here to keep you from drowning.

Reading a bill and understanding its political impacts are different things. AI is great at reading 800 pages in 30 seconds. This tool gives you time to focus on strategy.

Automated Policy Briefs

I’ve prompted the model to look for specific "staffer" concerns: effective dates, appropriations triggers, and procedural rules.

Crucially, it also generates a Verification Guide with specific page numbers for every claim. Never trust what AI or someone else tells you about a bill before telling your boss about it—verify it.
