Built on Claude, grounded in the record

Apogee adds everything an AI model can't access on its own.

Same reasoning as Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini. Four things none of them can do for policy work.

Real-time and official, not stale and secondhand

Claude aloneMonths-old training data; web search returns blogs, not bill XML or the Federal Register.

ApogeeContinuous ingestion from Congress.gov, GovInfo, FEC, and 45+ official sources, searchable within minutes.

Cited primary sources, not confident guesses

Claude aloneInvents bill numbers, witness names, and quotes when it lacks the source.

ApogeeEvery answer cites the filing, transcript, or disclosure. No source, no synthesis.

The analytical layer no model has

Claude aloneCan reason, but has no networks, PAC graphs, or voting data to reason over.

ApogeeMaps 200,000+ members, PACs, lobbyists, and bills - voting blocs, allies, money flows.

Watches your issues, not just remembers them

Claude aloneOnly answers when you open a chat and ask. No standing watch, no daily brief.

ApogeeStanding watches and recurring briefings surface what moved before you ask.
