Answers about Legisly — coverage, migration, security, and launch.

Product & coverage
What is Legisly?+

Legisly is a legislative tracking platform purpose-built for California lobbying firms. It covers the California legislature in a single integrated platform, and every bill arrives with an AI-written summary and amendment analysis.

Shipped today: keyword and semantic bill search, tracking and positions, notes and assignments, a review inbox, engagements and time tracking, alerts by in-app, email, SMS and web push, hearings, legislators, committees, client reports, and a branded Client Intelligence Portal. On Intelligence and Team you also get the agentic AI assistant, bill and review recommendations, outreach targeting, and gut-and-amend detection.

On the roadmap: live hearing capture and transcription, calendar sync, regulatory tracking, budget tracking, and FPPC compliance.

Who is Legisly for?+

Legisly is purpose-built for California lobbying firms and government affairs professionals, including:

Solo lobbyists and small lobbying firmsMid-size and large CA lobbying firmsGovernment affairs consultanciesTrade associations with CA legislative prioritiesCorporate government relations teams focused on Sacramento
What jurisdictions do you cover?+

Legisly covers the California legislature via leginfo.legislature.ca.gov — every bill, amendment, vote, committee analysis, hearing, legislator, and committee. Bill search is both keyword and semantic.

Local government and multi-state coverage are planned for future phases. Today the ingested dataset is the California legislature; the AI assistant on Intelligence and Team can web-search beyond it.

Platform & intelligence
What is Live Hearing Intelligence?+

Coming soon This one is in development, not shipped. The plan: capture and transcribe CA legislative hearings in real time with speaker identification and timestamp linking, then generate hearing summaries, extract key moments, detect votes, and score relevance per client.

What you get today is the hearing schedule from the Assembly and Senate daily file, committee analyses, and the support/opposition register for each bill.

What is the Client Intelligence Portal?+

The Client Intelligence Portal is a white-labeled, read-only login that you give to your clients. Each client sees a live bill status dashboard, hearing alerts, position notes from their lobbyist, and a legislative calendar filtered to their issues.

The portal is branded per firm (your branding, not Legisly's), and a WYSIWYG builder lets you customize what each client sees.

Can I migrate from my current tools?+

Yes. Legisly includes a Data Migration Wizard that imports your client bill lists, positions, tags, notes, and historical tracking data via CSV/Excel. We support imports from any legacy legislative tracking system.

Your firm can switch without losing any client history or data.

Security & compliance
Is my data secure?+

Absolutely. Legisly uses multi-tenant architecture with strict firm and client separation. We use bank-level encryption for all data in transit and at rest. Client positions, internal memos, and firm data are never shared between tenants.

Enterprise plans include SSO/OAuth and role-based access control. See our Security page for details.

What will FPPC compliance tracking include?+

Coming soon FPPC compliance is on the roadmap, not in the product yet. The plan is contribution tracking, 460/496 form workflows, a fundraising activity log per client, and deadline alerts for filing dates.

Pricing & launch
Can I try Legisly before committing?+

Yes — every plan starts with a 14-day free trial. A card is required to begin, but nothing is charged today; the first payment lands when the trial ends, and you can cancel any time before that.

There is no sales call in the way: pick a plan, enter a card, and your workspace is provisioned automatically. If you would rather be walked through it, book a 30-minute demo and we will set your firm up together.
