Why I started

Laws affect kids too, but bills are written in dense legal language that almost no kid will read. I wanted any student to be able to find out what a bill actually does.

What I did

I built a web app where you upload a bill as a PDF, then ask questions about it in plain language. In my demo, I uploaded the Path to Independence Act of 2024.

Progress so far

I submitted it to the 2024 Congressional App Challenge with a recorded demo. A year later, I entered again with SnakeID, which placed district runner-up.
