Congress passes laws every week. Almost no one reads them.

Every year, thousands of bills move through the U.S. Congress. They reshape your healthcare, your taxes, your civil rights, and your kids' future — and almost all of them are written in language no ordinary person has the time or training to parse. The most consequential legislation often never makes the evening news.

SimplyBill exists to fix that.

What we built

SimplyBill is a free, independent platform that uses AI to read every congressional bill and tell you, in plain English:

Is it constitutional? We analyze every bill against constitutional principles and flag potential conflicts with fundamental rights.
Who does it actually affect? A demographic impact score — weighted by severity, breadth, and impact on historically underserved communities — shows you who wins, who loses, and by how much
What does it mean for your state? State-by-state breakdowns, sponsor tracking, and a weekly Congressional Podcast that walks through the most constitutionally significant bills in Washington — both sides argued at full strength, no spin.

Why we need your help

SimplyBill is independent and nonpartisan. We don't sell user data. We don't run ads. We don't take corporate or political money. That independence is the entire point — and it's why we depend on citizens like you.

Running SimplyBill costs about $550 a month — roughly $6,600 a year — to cover AI API calls, hosting, audio production for the podcast, and the infrastructure that keeps it all online and free for every visitor.

Our $10,000 goal funds about 18 months of independent operations. That's a year and a half of constitutional analysis, demographic impact scoring, and weekly podcast episodes — fully funded by the citizens who use it, accountable to no one else.
