Ohio’s government, inside the AI you already use.

Pete connects to Claude and ChatGPT with 110 live Ohio tools — bills, votes, committee dockets, hearing transcripts, campaign finance, lobbying disclosures, state and federal spending, property parcels, EPA permits, school districts, court dockets. Your office stops guessing about Ohio and starts reading the record.

Claude Code, Claude Desktop, claude.ai and ChatGPT. One account, everywhere you work.

The big AIs punted on this arena. Pete lives in it.

In their own words.

Google: “Out of an abundance of caution … we have begun to roll out restrictions on the types of election-related queries for which Gemini will return responses.” March 2024. TechCrunch retested in March 2025: still in force.
OpenAI bars “political campaigning, lobbying, foreign or domestic election interference, or demobilization activities.” Roughly a million ChatGPT answers sent people to CanIVote.org in the month before the 2024 election. OpenAI Usage Policies, effective Oct 29, 2025; OpenAI election update, Nov 2024
Anthropic, 2024: “Claude cannot be used to promote a specific candidate, party or issue.” 2025: the ban narrowed to dishonest advocacy, and Claude still ships a banner that hands you off to somebody else. Anthropic election guidance, Oct 2024; Usage Policy, effective Sept 15, 2025

Asked for the money behind Ohio’s HB 15, ChatGPT ran zero searches and answered with a question. Claude timed out twice. StatehouseAI head-to-head, July 2026

Pete the Pigeon is here only for what they stepped away from: the Ohio Statehouse, on the public record, with sources.

The questions nothing else can answer

Any chatbot can summarize one bill. The connector is for the research that has to cross datasets — the work that used to mean five tabs, two FOIAs and an afternoon.

“Which senators voted for HB 96, and which of them took money from its top lobbying employers?” roll call → campaign finance → JLEC lobbying registrations

“Map every CAFO permit in Senate District 12, then show me the testimony filed on the bill that changes their setback rules.” NPDES permits → district geography → witness slips and testimony

“Which school districts in this House district lose money under the budget, and who testified about it on camera?” school-district overlap → fiscal analysis → Ohio Channel transcripts

“Every parcel the state bought in Franklin County last year, and the agency line item it came out of.” county parcels → state checkbook → agency spending

Scholarships

For non-partisan journalists, advocates & public servants fighting for the public good, we offer scholarships so that the folks making personal sacrifices to jump into the Statehouse arena on behalf of others can have access to the most cutting-edge advocacy tools in Ohio history.

Due to our high token cost to run Pete the Pigeon, a limited number of scholarships are available. We are working to make more scholarships available with investors and the State of Ohio.
