Built by a lobbyist who lived the problem.
Every session, the same hours disappeared. Scrambling to take notes across eight committee hearings happening at once. Reading hundred-page omnibus bills. Hand-crafting the same stakeholder summaries by midnight, again.
I spent my career in and around government, from the U.S. House and Senate to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce to serving as a policy director in the Texas Capitol, and later as a contract lobbyist. I lived the work that government affairs teams, lobbyists, and associations do every day, and every session I hit the same wall. The tools we paid for could tell me a bill was filed. Not one of them could tell me what was actually said about it, by whom, or what it meant for the people I represented.
The record existed. It was sitting in thousands of hours of hearing video that nobody had time to watch. The answer my team needed was always in there, just out of reach.
So in 2023, at the advent of AI, I built the platform I always needed and could never buy. USLege captures every word in every committee hearing, floor session, and agency rulemaking, then tells you what it means for the bills your team is tracking. Live, during the session, with the timestamp to prove it.
Today USLege holds the largest government video archive in the world, 2.4 million hours and counting, and it grows every day. The thesis has not changed since the first line of code. The people who shape policy deserve the full record, not a headline that a bill exists. We are bipartisan by design, because the work is, and we build for the practitioners doing it on every side of every issue.
