Short answer

Search outcomes.

Where your data lands.

The agent pulls information from state databases and organizes it into these results.

BILL DATA

Specific bill details

The agent uses search_bills to find exact bill numbers, sponsors, and current statuses. You get the raw legislative facts immediately.

TOPICS

Keyword-based lists

Search for specific subjects like 'taxation' or 'healthcare' to see all related bills across multiple states. The agent filters the results for you.

ANALYSIS

Legislative summaries

Once a bill is found, your agent can summarize the text to explain what the legislation actually does. This saves you from reading full documents.

HUMAN

Manual review required

The AI finds the bills and summarizes them, but you must perform the final legal or policy review. The agent does not provide legal opinions.

The workflow

What your AI does when you ask for a bill.

The agent acts as a bridge between your chat and the LegiScan database.

  1. Parsing the request

    Your agent identifies the state, topic, or bill number you mentioned in your prompt.
