What You Can Do

Getting Started

1. Connect Your AI Assistant

Follow the Quick Start Guide to connect Apogee to Claude Desktop. Setup takes under 5 minutes.

2. Define Your Issues

Tell your assistant what you're advocating for:

"I work on climate policy, specifically clean energy tax credits and environmental justice"

This helps focus your searches on relevant legislation.

3. Identify Your Priority Bills

Track the legislation central to your campaigns:

"Track HR 1234, S 567, and the Clean Energy Act for me"

Common Tasks

Bill Tracking

Stay current on legislation affecting your issues:

"What new bills on topic were introduced this week?"

"What's the current status of HR 1234?"

"Has this bill been scheduled for a vote?"

Finding Champions

Identify legislators who support your cause:

"Which senators have cosponsored the most bills on issue?"

"Show me Member's voting record on environmental issues"

"Who are the original cosponsors of S 1234?"

Supporter Communications

Prepare content for your members:

"Explain this bill in plain language for a newsletter"

"What are the 3 key provisions of HR 1234 that affect your community?"

"Summarize why this legislation matters for your issue"

Opposition Research

Understand the other side:

"Who voted against similar legislation in the past?"

"What lobbying groups oppose issue and what are their arguments?"

"Find news coverage of opposition to bill"

Coalition Building

Find allies and understand the landscape:

"What organizations are lobbying on HR 1234?"

"Who else has testified in support of issue?"

"Find other bills with overlapping sponsors on topic"

Advanced Queries

Track Movement Across Congress

Understand long-term legislative patterns:

"Compare the cosponsor list for this bill to similar legislation last Congress"

"Has this issue gained or lost congressional support over time?"

Monitor Committee Activity

Committees are where most legislative work happens:

"What hearings on topic are scheduled this month?"

"Which committee has jurisdiction over issue?"

"What bills on topic have been marked up this session?"

Build Issue Timelines

Understand how your issue has evolved:

"What's the legislative history of topic since 2020?"

"Show me key votes on issue in the current Congress"

Tips for Advocacy Organizations

Use Plain Language Summaries

When communicating with supporters, ask for plain language:

"Summarize this bill without using legislative jargon"

Your members will engage more with accessible content.

Track Both Chambers

Legislation can start in either the House or Senate:

"Find bills on topic in both the House and Senate"

Monitor State Delegations

If you're organizing in specific states:

"Which members of the State delegation have positions on issue?"

Time Your Outreach

Ask about upcoming floor activity:

"When is HR 1234 likely to get a floor vote?"

Use this to time action alerts and member outreach.
