Legislative Tracking Software
Bills plus agency rules, as alerts, without a Capitol Hill retainer.
Legislative tracking software is bill + regulation alerting without a Capitol Hill retainer.
Trade groups sell a portal. Law firms sell a weekly memo. Both can be good. Both are slow when a markup moves in an afternoon. In-house counsel does not need another login. They need the bill page and the agency page to interrupt them.
FiscalNote-class tools exist for teams that run a government-affairs desk. Most product lawyers do not. They have five bills and two rules. They cannot justify a terminal.
Bills and rules on the same account
Watch Congress.gov for the bill numbers. Watch the agency news or Federal Register search you already use. Watch a topic in English for the issue that spans both. "New US bills or proposed rules on app store ranking and sideloading."
AyeWatch reads those public pages and topics. It is not a legislative lobbying CRM. It will not store your member list, whip counts, or PAC calendar. It will not staff a hearing. It tells you the public record moved. See legislative policy monitoring for the source list.
Keep the monitors small
One topic per pillar. Privacy. Payments. AI. Mixing them is how a DMA ping hides inside a tax bill. Regulatory monitoring for compliance teams is the rulemaking half. EU AI Act compliance monitoring is the Brussels half if that is your market.
AyeWatch for legal is the role page. Templates has a regulatory prompt with a jurisdiction field. Use it. "AI law" with no country is junk.

Try AyeWatch freeWhen to buy the expensive desk
If you employ lobbyists in six states and need a CRM, buy that CRM. AyeWatch will not replace it. If you are counsel who currently greps Congress.gov twice a week, a page watch is the missing layer. The memo can still come from outside counsel. You just stop being late to the fact that the bill moved.
Start with one bill URL and one agency URL. If both alerts are specific, add the topic. If they are not, rewrite the rule before you add more pages.
