Hi John, thanks for your comment. My firm publishes Congress in Your Pocket (http://congressinyourpocket.com), and has done so since the first iPhone. We released it as a web app and then on iTunes, before there was an App Store. Apple has featured it a dozen times and we’ve been covered all over tech and political media.
The goal of Congress in Your Pocket AI is to reduce the hundreds of pages of bills and resolutions into a few sentences so you can get the gist of the issues they cover. It’s basically a short summary, and in no way a replacement for anyone’s job.
With the release of OpenAI’s ChatGPT, this was the top thing that our customers wanted. This includes busy people who work on Capitol Hill, busy journalists, and folks who are watching several actions in Congress off the Hill in trade associations, and in government relations.
Beyond pros, it’s also something our massive user base wanted. These are regular people, some of who watch Sunday shows and subscribe to podcasts like Justin’s, as well as Substacks like Tom’s. They want to be involved but don’t have time to read hundreds of pages.
Hope this helps, John, and thanks again for the comment.
I think it would enhance her job rather than threaten it… I listen to Jen for her analysis — there is still value in the way she gives context to the bills, hearing, people behind the actions and their motivations.
But this could be a valuable tool in making her job easier, which could potentially lead her to putting out even more content — I see it as a win for everybody.

Pocket congress AI. That’s Jen’s forte right? AI coming for her job now?
