Show HN: AI Law Tracker – one audited API for US, EU and global AI law

asm28208

I built this because tracking AI regulation by hand stopped being possible. The EU's Digital Omnibus just reshuffled the AI Act, and it's easy to confuse the headline with what's actually in force — e.g. the Article 50 transparency duties still land on 2 August 2026 even after the reshuffle. What it is: one API covering AI law across 50 US states + DC + federal + EU + other jurisdictions, refreshed daily. Each record carries provenance and an official source URL. The interpreted layer (obligations, penalties, effective dates) is human-audited and sourced — not LLM-generated — because a hallucinated compliance deadline is worse than no answer. There's also an MCP connector (24 tools) so you can query laws, obligations, penalties and deadlines directly inside Claude, ChatGPT or your own agent. You can try it without a card: grab a free API key at ai-law-tracker.com/developers#get-key, or see the live Omnibus breakdown at ai-law-tracker.com/omnibus. Two things I'd genuinely like feedback on: 1. The accuracy model — every record is checkable via a public accuracy ledger, and there's a bug bounty for wrong data. Does that go far enough to trust it under your product? 2. The MCP tool design — are 24 tools too granular, or is that the right shape for an agent to reason over regulation? Happy to answer anything about the data pipeline or how records are verified.

Holy vibe coding Batman! You might want to check how your site looks when viewed on a mobile. Interesting idea, but the front end sloppiness is not filing me with confidence.

Latest concern amongst US attorneys using AI: Information shared with remote may may lose attorney-client privilege.

Recently whenever I see something that's vibecoded and I see nobody taking personal responsibility for it: company entity, linkedin profile links - I leave immediately - it's not worth spending my time if the author was not willing to put their reputation at stake. I guess this is a universal method. In the time when we can have 100 pages vibecoded in an hour by agents, how do we decide which are actually worth human time? The agent doesn't feel a notion of cost or time, for them producing slop is free. For us humans, reading slop is at cost of cognitive overload.

> live feeds are pulled directly from official APIs and registries [...] and then checked by a human What does the human check mean? The homepage says 1,287 of 1,288 laws were re-checked today...

Wow this is badly vibe coded. Check your submission on a couple of devices (desktop, mobile) and browsers. How did you implement the tracking feature? Do you plan to narrow down in one legal sector where this could be especially useful?

One prompt and the template is fixed instead of ending up DEAD soon, OP, why?

Umm, just no. "Law" =/= statute. I see this also purports to link to secondary regulation, but there's a reason lawyers pay huge chunks of cash to professional firms that ingest court decisions and other sources of applicable regulation. Meh, there's a reason _lawyers_ are paid huge chunks of cash to be kept on retainer and give their opinions to begin with. It's harder to solve some of these problems than prompting an LLM to vibe a solution. I wish we'd stop.

The irony of using AI to code this...
