How many federal documents mention AI?
The 24 Sep 2026 build has 1,401 Federal Register documents that mention AI since 2017: 935 notices, 209 rules, 189 proposed rules and 68 presidential documents. 253 are mainly about AI.
Why not search federalregister.gov yourself?
You can. Policywren runs the same AI search for you, tags which documents are mainly about AI and keeps open comment periods in one table.
Why not the IAPP or a law-firm AI tracker?
They are curated summaries, often focused on state bills. Policywren is the federal record as data you can filter, join and alert on.
Why not an Apify Federal Register scraper?
Scrapers charge per record and you run them yourself. Policywren is the finished table, free.
Does it cover state laws?
No. Federal Register documents only.
Do I have to pay to use it?
No. The data keeps its open licence for everyone, at work too. The $49/year licence is for companies that want an invoice, a certificate in their name, named support and service levels; it covers every CyberMax dataset.
