What Regology does

Regology is an AI-powered regulatory intelligence platform that enables compliance, legal, risk, and operations teams to navigate complex regulatory environments across U.S. Federal, all 50 states, and global jurisdictions. At its core, the Smart Law Library™ provides a curated, continuously updated repository of applicable laws and regulations. Three specialized AI agents drive the platform: the Regulatory Change Agent tracks and alerts on jurisdiction-specific developments; the Compliance Agent maps changes to policies, controls, and risks; and the Regulatory Research Agent delivers plain-language summaries, multi-jurisdictional comparisons, and actionable insights - helping teams anticipate change, mitigate risk, and act decisively in fast-evolving regulatory landscapes.

AI Agents for Regulatory Compliance

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

We are building an AI-powered platform that helps compliance, legal, and risk teams track and understand regulations across all U.S. federal, state, and global jurisdictions. Our Smart Law Library™ curates and updates applicable laws continually. We provide three AI agents: one alerts users of regulatory changes by jurisdiction, another maps those changes to internal policies and risks, and a third helps summarize and compare regulations in plain English. This helps teams stay ahead of fast-changing rules and manage risk more efficiently.

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

We live in San Francisco, CA, and plan to base the company here after YC as well.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where the legal tech ecosystem and AI talent pools are concentrated, enabling us to recruit the right team and work close to our key potential customers.
