I built this because tracking AI regulation by hand stopped being possible. The EU's Digital Omnibus just reshuffled the AI Act, and it's easy to confuse the headline with what's actually in force — e.g. the Article 50 transparency duties still land on 2 August 2026 even after the reshuffle. What it is: one API covering AI law across 50 US states + DC + federal + EU + other jurisdictions, refreshed daily. Each record…

Would you use this yourself? Would you trust your own project for legal advice?

I’m the resident “Claude designed this” guy but I am not even going to bring the frontend design up.

As another commenter said, you claim ~1250 laws manually verified, is there a name for the person who verified this? Will they be willing to put their reputation behind it?

Laws are the easiest thing to hallucinate due to them worded the same way an llm talks.

You can’t take people’s money and say “ This is not legal advice. Consult a qualified attorney for specific legal decisions.”

Hey I love the idea, don't let the haters get you down just because the site was vibe coded, that's trivial to improve upon.

I do think more information is needed to understand exactly where these claims are coming from. Not sure the "not legal advice" tiny text at the bottom is enough, people are going to see the claims and most won't double check.

Umm, just no. "Law" =/= statute.

I see this also purports to link to secondary regulation, but there's a reason lawyers pay huge chunks of cash to professional firms that ingest court decisions and other sources of applicable regulation. Meh, there's a reason _lawyers_ are paid huge chunks of cash to be kept on retainer and give their opinions to begin with.

It's harder to solve some of these problems than prompting an LLM to vibe a solution. I wish we'd stop.
