I'm a first-generation citizen and the political system always felt opaque to me. BillBoard is the first app that made me feel like my opinion matters and that I know how to act on it.

Frequently asked questions
Is BillBoard really nonpartisan?
Yes. BillBoard does not take political positions or endorse candidates. Our AI summaries are trained to present factual legislative content without framing or spin. We present all sides of contested bills.
How does the AI summarization work?
We use a combination of large language models and structured data from Congress.gov and GovTrack. Each summary is reviewed for accuracy against the official bill text. Our focus is always on plain-language clarity.
Can I actually contact my representative through the app?
Yes. BillBoard identifies your House and Senate representatives based on your zip code and lets you send personalized emails directly from the app. You can use our templates or write your own.
Is my data private?
We never sell your data. Your political stances and browsing history within BillBoard are private. We use your zip code only to identify your representatives and never share it with third parties.
Is BillBoard only for the U.S.?
Currently, BillBoard covers federal U.S. legislation tracked through Congress.gov. We have plans to expand to state legislatures and, eventually, other countries.
