The AI built me a dashboard that tracks 1,000 bills and their hearings

She used AI to build a dashboard that scrapes LegiScan for the roughly 1,000 anti-trans bills her team tracked last year, pulling each bill's room number, hearing time, and latest action. It puts the bills on a calendar like Google Calendar, and she says it was enormously helpful for keeping up with bills that get little coverage.

Why it’s worth knowing

One person now keeps up with about 1,000 bills, including the ones almost nobody reports on, from a single calendar.
