USLege tracks what Capitol Track leaves out
Capitol Track tracks California bills. USLege adds the hearing video, the full transcripts, and AI search across all of it.
It's not the states. It's the bills.
Capitol Track is a capable California bill tracker, keyword search, status lines, three separate California products from Wavelength Automation, tracking California legislation since 1993. But it stops at the bill. It doesn't hand you the committee hearing video, the full transcript of what was actually said, or AI search across all of it.
Plenty of state-by-state tools track bills. USLege does the rest, for California first: live hearing video, full committee transcripts, and AI search across bills, votes, statutes, and video. And when you outgrow one state, you add the other 49 plus federal in the same account, instead of buying and stitching together a stack of different subscriptions.
Bill tracking, and what comes after it
Bill tracking tells you where a bill sits: keyword search, Boolean search, a status line. Hearing video, full committee transcripts, and AI-native search across everything are a separate layer on top of that. Capitol Track's published materials do not list hearing video, full committee transcripts, or AI-native search among its features. USLege provides all three.
AI-native since 2023, the largest government archive in the world, video included, live hearing transcripts as committees meet, shipping constantly. California work gets that same archive-backed depth, plus the other 49 states and Congress, in the same account.

We started in the states
Each state is its own country. California is one of the largest, most complex legislatures in the country. USLege founder Laura Davis built the platform to match that depth in California, then do it again in every other state, plus federal, in one account.
