We built OWL for a problem we have ourselves. Every election, we want to vote on what our representative actually did. Every time, it turns into a part-time job. The record is public, but it is buried in committee reports, roll-call tables and hearing transcripts. So, like most voters, we end up going by the party label.

OWL (Open Watch on Legislators) reads that record for you.

Type your ZIP code and you land on your own member of the House. You see the topics they spend their time on, where they stand on each one, where they break with their party, and when a position changed. Every claim opens to the exact sentence or recorded vote behind it, with a link to the official source.

Or start from what you care about. Pick a topic like child care. OWL turns its real bills into plain yes-or-no questions. Answer a few, and it ranks every member by how closely their record matches yours. Narrow it to your state, and see exactly where you agree and where you differ.

What used to take an afternoon of reading PDFs now takes a few clicks. And none of it asks you to trust us: nothing is asserted without proof you can open.

This was not possible before. No rule can read a persuasive dissent and say who supports what. Muse Spark can, and every quote it returns is checked word for word against the source.

Who it helps: millions of voters who want to judge the record, not the label. Local reporters who need one quote fast. Teachers and civic groups who explain Congress to everyone else.

It works today. OWL covers the whole 119th Congress: 451 members, 782 bills and 20,608 statements. It is live at https://az30667176-sudo.github.io/owl/ , free, and open source.

Where it goes next: the same pipeline takes any public source. Hearings, floor speeches, press releases, politicians' public Facebook and Instagram posts, decades of past Congresses. Meta's multilingual models can then bring it to every voter in their own language, and to legislatures beyond the U.S.
