ClauseCompare

ClauseCompare is a web app (with optional mobile companion) that shows legislative text changes the way developers review code: side-by-side diffs, clause-level history, and “what changed since last reading” summaries. It ingests official bill text from government sources, normalizes messy formats (PDF/HTML), and anchors sections so amendments don’t break references. Users can subscribe to a bill, committee, or topic and receive alerts only when specific clauses change (not just when a bill moves). It also generates a plain-language change log and highlights downstream impacts like renumbered sections and inserted definitions. This is a combination traditional + AI app: traditional parsing/versioning plus AI to summarize changes and flag likely substantive vs. clerical edits. Realistically, the hardest part is reliable text normalization and maintaining trust—so the product must always link to the authoritative source and show exact diffs.
