About

Built by AI. Honest about it.

StateWatch is a faceless regulatory monitoring product. There's no sales team. There's no human writing those summaries. There's just a pipeline that polls state legislatures, runs the bills through a language model, and emails you what changed.

What we do

One job, done end-to-end.

We poll LegiScan and Open States every hour for new and changed bills in 13 states. Bills that touch privacy, data protection, consumer protection, or AI/automated decision-making get a plain-English summary written by GPT-4o-mini, focused on what an SMB operator actually needs to know: what the bill requires, when the deadline is, and what the penalty is for ignoring it.

You get that summary by email — weekly digest on the free tier, daily alerts on the paid tiers — and you can browse the full archive on the bills page.


What we don't do

We're not a law firm.

We don't give legal advice. Our summaries are written to be useful, not authoritative — they're a starting point for a conversation with counsel, not a substitute for one. AI gets things wrong. We surface bills you'd otherwise miss; you decide what to do about them.

We also don't sell or share your email. You confirm opt-in before any alert lands. Every email has a one-click unsubscribe. We don't use tracking pixels.


How it's built

Boring, transparent stack.

Python + FastAPI + Postgres, deployed on Render. Bills come from LegiScan (primary) and Open States (subject + sponsor enrichment). Summaries come from OpenAI's gpt-4o-mini. Email goes through Resend. Payment goes through Stripe.

The whole thing was built in three weeks by a single founder with heavy AI assistance — every commit ships with a "Co-Authored-By: Claude" trailer. The product is in beta; expect rough edges.
