Putting the public
back in public commenting.

The public commenting process allows individuals and organizations an opportunity to give feedback on proposed regulations and policies before they are finalized, ensuring transparency and public involvement in policy making.

Contributing to this process helps us shape effective and fair regulations, reflecting diverse perspectives in the nuances of our policies.

We collect data nightly from regulations.gov and build upon previous projects to provide guides, improved search functionality, and meaningful analysis. Using advanced AI models, we make document titles more readable, identify unique and representative comments, and analyze comment topics and sentiment to provide a clearer understanding of public feedback.
