I spent the last three months creating StatePulse as a side/summer project! StatePulse updates every day and fetches the latest legislation across different jurisdictions. Uses Gemini's API to summarize bills in 100 words, with source documents attached. Organizes information quickly and intuitively, allowing you to learn what bills your reps are passing (for all fifty states + Congress), and even what your reps voted for (Congress).

If you make a free account, you can enter as many topics/reps you want to subscribe to as possible (i.e. redistricting) and StatePulse will send updates at 9:00 AM PST on bills introduced with that description if they come up.

You can also search for your representatives and view cool visualizations with the interactive dashboard.

StatePulse's purpose is to serve as a place for organized, easily accessible content. The summaries generated by Gemini come directly from the bill text whenever possible, then the human written abstracts.

Everyone should have access to what's actually being passed in legislative chambers as possible, especially considering how polarized the environment has become. As an incoming college freshman majoring in Computer Science, I think technology is a great aid in helping regular folks like me be more civically engaged.

Also feel free to share bills/rep profiles with others and people online if you find them interesting! Extra brownie points for civic engagement :D

Special thanks to: OpenStates for their legislative data/scrapers, Congress for providing a free public api, MapLibre GL for map rendering, and more!

I created StatePulse — a free, open source platform to track what your reps are actually doing
