Built from official sources

What the Fed? uses AI to help explain the federal legislative record in clear, plain language. The app brings together official bill text and Congressional Record material from GovInfo, roll-call vote data, federal member information, and Congressional Research Service bill summaries when available.

Our explanations include citations to the relevant material in the app, so you can see where the information came from and continue to the underlying record. AI helps make dense documents easier to understand, but it does not replace the original source.

The goal is not to tell you what to think. It is to make government information easier to find and understand, so you can reach your own informed conclusions.
