For advocacy organizations
What does AdvocacyOS actually do?
It watches Pennsylvania legislation for you. Once you set up your organization's mission and issue areas, it automatically scans bills and co-sponsorship memos, uses AI to judge relevance to your mission, and puts anything that matches in your Inbox — so you don't have to manually check the legislature's website.
What's the difference between Inbox, Tracked, and Browse?
Inbox is what the automatic scanning has found and flagged as relevant to you. Tracked is the shortlist you've explicitly chosen to follow — anything you track shows up there with its status. Browse is a manual search across all current legislation, for when you already know what you're looking for or want to check something the automatic scan might have missed.
How often does the automatic scan run, and how long until something shows up?
It runs continuously in the background — usually within a few minutes of a new matching bill or memo appearing, not something you have to trigger or wait around for.
Why does it only cover Pennsylvania?
AdvocacyOS is Pennsylvania-first for this pilot. Bill and legislator tracking work the same way everywhere it's offered, but committee rosters and the co-sponsorship-memo scan (a PA-specific legislative custom) are PA-only for now — any jurisdiction missing those is labeled "Limited" wherever you pick jurisdictions.
Can I trust the AI-generated analysis, talking points, or reports?
Treat everything AI-generated as a well-informed first draft, not verified fact — check names, dates, and any factual or legal claim before you rely on it or share it externally. Every AI-generated result in the product carries this same notice.
Who can see my organization's data?
Only people you've invited into your organization's workspace, and — if you've engaged a lobbying firm through AdvocacyOS — that firm's staff. See the Privacy Policy for the full picture of who sees what and why.
For firms
What's the difference between Memo Feed and Prospecting?
Memo Feed is the firm-side equivalent of Inbox/Tracked — legislative activity relevant to the clients you manage. Prospecting analyzes a pasted co-sponsorship memo and suggests organizations that might want representation on it — a business-development tool, not a client-monitoring one.
How do I add a new client?
My Clients → New Client walks you through creating their workspace, running the same website-analysis onboarding on their behalf, and inviting their team — all in one flow.
