Why Executive Order Reporter Instead of ChatGPT?
While general-purpose AI tools like ChatGPT are powerful, Executive Order Reporter offers several key advantages for understanding executive orders:
Access to the most recent executive orders: Our system has access to the latest executive orders, including executive orders that fall outside of ChatGPT's training data cutoff date. This means you can explore and understand brand-new executive orders as soon as they're published.
Full document context: When you ask a question about an executive order, we place the entire executive order text into the AI's context window. This means the AI is reading the actual executive order while answering your question, which significantly reduces hallucinations and provides more precise, text-grounded answers.
Specialized prompting: Behind the scenes, we use carefully crafted prompts specifically designed to help non-experts understand executive orders. These prompts guide the AI to provide clear, accessible explanations while maintaining accuracy.
Data
Executive order metadata comes from the Federal Register API. Full text content is retrieved from the GovInfo API. Executive orders are updated nightly to ensure we have the latest information.
