AI to track and analyze public policy

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We built an AI system that collects and parses official documents like legislation, press releases, speeches, and executive orders from governments around the world. Our product analyzes policy changes and insights across jurisdictions, delivering actionable intelligence to companies and policy experts who struggle to keep up with fast-moving and diverse public policy.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We're based in San Francisco, CA, and the team works remotely as well.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We chose San Francisco because it's a hub for AI and tech talent, and it positions us close to many of our potential customers and partners in policy and finance.
