Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Gavelin. Can't find what you're looking for? Reach out to us.
Gavelin is an AI-powered legislative intelligence platform. We make state-level bills and hearing transcripts searchable, with full speaker attribution — so you can find not just what was said, but who said it. Think of it as a search engine built specifically for state government proceedings.
We cover all 50 states for bill tracking and search, powered by daily updates from LegiScan. For hearing transcripts with speaker attribution, we currently cover New York, California, Pennsylvania, Colorado, Ohio, Illinois, New Jersey, and Connecticut, with more states being added regularly.
We offer a Free tier with limited search results and no speaker names. Monitor is $49/month ($499/year) with hearing transcripts for 1 state and speaker attribution. Analyst is $199/month ($1,999/year) with 3 states, AI Smart Search, and reports. Strategist is $499/month ($4,999/year) with all states, up to 5 users, and team features. Our Developer API (MCP) is free for all accounts — 10,000 calls/month, no add-on required.
Speaker attribution is our AI-powered feature that identifies who said what during legislative hearings. When you search our transcript database, each segment is labeled with the speaker's name, so you can quickly find statements from specific legislators, witnesses, or officials.
Bill data is updated daily via LegiScan, so you're always working with current legislation across all 50 states. Hearing transcripts are updated regularly as new sessions are processed. Our keyword alert system can notify you the same day a new bill or transcript matches your interests.
