Why teams switch to Billy
Five things you will not find elsewhere.
Most tools tell you a bill moved. Billy shows the exact words that changed, grounds every summary in the source PDF, watches the language you care about — and shows how the law would read if the bill passed. When leading legal research AIs still hallucinate on roughly one in six to one in three queries, you need more than retrieval — you need evidence you can open.
- 01
Amendatory-markup detection
Bills already mark what they change — strikethrough for deletions, underline or italic for inserts. Billy reads that typography and surfaces the intended amendment, not just a version-to-version diff. You see what the drafter meant to change.
- 02
Quote-evidence grounding
Peer-reviewed evaluation found Lexis+ AI hallucinating on ~17% of queries and Westlaw on ~33% — retrieval grounding alone is not legal-grade. Billy requires a verbatim quote for every claim, locates it in the bill, runs a semantic audit on the change, and puts every claim on a verification ledger you can sign off and export.
- 03
Provision-level semantic search
Search by meaning across every provision, not keyword hits on titles. Find the clause that matters across jurisdictions when you remember the substance, not the bill number.
- 04
Statutory language watches
Point Billy at language you care about and get alerted when new bills reuse or amend it. Catch copycat drafting and silent amendments before they land on your desk.
- 05
Law as amended, verified
See the statute as it would read if the bill passed — the Ramseyer format federal practitioners know, derived from the bill's own markup and checked against the current code. Export it to Word with real tracked changes. The typed citation graph shows what else that section touches.
