Show HN: Awra – AI-powered legislative bill analyzer
10 points by wcisco17 3 days ago | 3 comments
I built Awra to solve a simple problem: understanding what bills in Congress actually mean for regular citizens.

What it does: - Explains federal bills in plain language - Shows state-specific impacts - Provides cost analysis when available - Uses AI to answer questions about any bill

I've found that while tools like ChatGPT can explain bills, they often hallucinate or work with outdated information. Awra directly fetches from Congress.gov's API and uses RAG to ensure accuracy.

Try it out: https://www.awra.ai GitHub: https://github.com/reacthor-ai/awra

Looking for feedback, particularly on accuracy and usefulness. Would love to hear from people who regularly need to understand legislation.

    I believe this is a fantastic idea, even if only because I literally was ideating on the same lines just last week.

    I think there were some usability issues, but overall, solid stuff.

    I think if I were you, I would focus on the UX of legislative bill analysis rather than the LLM side of it, but that's just me.

      Happy to talk more about this if you're interested. I have a lot of ideas around this. And see this kind of setup as really important, and benefitial.
