What connecting Apogee changes

Web search vs. the official record.

Claude's web search ranks the pages that surface online. Apogee searches the text of the bills themselves and cites each result to its source.

"Which bills this Congress address AI safety?"

Claude alone

Ranks what's popular in a web search

  • American Leadership in AI Act (H.R. 8516)
  • Secure A.I. Development Act (S. 5061)
  • ...a few others that come up in search results

Reflects what ranks highest online right now, not a complete list, and it can miss a bill entirely if it hasn't been written about.

Claude + Apogee

Searches bill text directly, ranked by relevance

Top results are bills this Congress that mention AI safety in their text, including some with no AI in the title at all, like a cybersecurity provision inside the FY2026 defense authorization act.

H.R. 8516S. 5061S. 4697S. 1071and more

Cited to Congress.gov and ranked by relevance, not by what happened to make headlines. Each response says when more results matched than it shows.

Bring Apogee into the AI you already use

Claude and ChatGPT only see what ranks in web search: a thin slice of Congress.gov, the Federal Register, FEC filings, and state legislature sites, with no way to cite a specific bill, filing, or hearing. Apogee searches the official record directly, with a citation on every answer, on the assistant already in use.
