Agents

Reads the record — a bill, a vote, a hearing, a committee — and explains it, citing the rows it read.

Reads

A bill's record end to end: status, sponsors and cosponsors with the dates they signed on, the action history, roll calls member by member, amendments, committee rosters and calendars, hearing transcripts, presidential nominations, and the text as filed with the changes between its versions.

Can do

Find a bill by number or by keyword, read the record end to end, and give a sourced brief — what it does, where it is, who is behind it, what has actually happened to it, and how it changed on the way. Where the answer is not in the record it can search the web and read the page it finds, and say which is which.

Who represents, which committee holds it, where a bill sits — across all 52.

Reads

The sitting rosters of every jurisdiction, their committees and the bills before them, and which jurisdictions the record covers at all.

Can do

Answer 'who represents…', 'which committee has…', 'where is this bill' in any of the 52, and say honestly when a jurisdiction's rows are thinner than another's.

Sponsors, committees and the money the record actually holds — gaps named.

Reads

Members' sponsorship and voting records, who sponsors most, committee membership, and — for Congress — the federal lobbying filings that name a bill and members' FEC totals by cycle with their largest reported contributions.

Can do

Trace a bill to the lobbyists who filed on it and its sponsors to their FEC totals, and state precisely which part of the money is not in this record.

The agentic one: give it a topic and a jurisdiction and it goes and does the work.

Reads

The search index, then each bill it finds in full — description, status, sponsors and the last actions taken.

Can do

Plan a watch, search for the bills, open each one, compose a digest, post it to Discord, and report back with what it read and where it went. Every step is visible while it runs.

Posts to Discord. A connection that is not live contributes no tool, so it runs the whole task and hands the digest back as text rather than claiming to have sent it.

The long one: a sourced report over the whole record, delivered rather than chatted.

Reads

Whatever the question needs — the search index across jurisdictions, whole bill records and their text, members and their sponsorship and votes, committees, and for Congress the lobbying filings and FEC totals.

Can do

Plan a report's sections, gather the records section by section, and write a long brief that links every claim to the page it came from and to the canonical source where the record carries one.

Fills two New York applications — the common benefits application and the child-care application — into the forms' own fields.

Reads

The applicant's profile in this browser: what has already been answered, on either form, so a section that is known is not asked again.

Can do

Walk through LDSS-2921 (SNAP, Public Assistance, Medicaid, child care, emergency assistance) or OCFS-6025 (child care assistance) one section at a time, keep every answer in the applicant's profile, show every answer for review, write them into the PDF's own fields, and hand the file over — download, email, or the inbox.

The week on your desk — every bill, vote, hearing and headline — read and written up, with a source on every line.

Reads

One jurisdiction's whole record: bills and their actions, roll calls, hearings and their agendas, committees and their rosters, the members themselves — and the press on all of it.

Can do

Write the briefing for a desk: what was introduced, what moved, how the chamber voted, what was heard and what the outlets made of it. Ask it about any of that and it opens the record behind the story.
