Bill Alert: for topics impacting a specific community or of great concerns (education): Scrape new CA bills & committee-hearing transcripts daily → LLM pipeline auto-generates: 1-min bullet digest, bilingual (ENG / 简体中文) explainer, and “Why it matters to immigrants” note. Push via Discord, WeChat & email.
ConstitutionGuard: Static-analysis tool that flags potential federal/CA constitutional issues (equal-protection, due-process, speech) in active bills. Outputs annotated diff and confidence scores, helping advocates craft testimony early.
