Research regulations and case law

A Nimble Web Search Agent researches official statute, court, and agency sites for a given activity and jurisdiction. It returns a structured brief covering the applicable regulations, key case law, and recent changes, with every claim linked to its primary source and rendered as a readable summary plus browsable tables.

Quick Start

Inputs

  1. Topic An activity plus a jurisdiction, for example "selling CBD cosmetics in California" or "data privacy obligations for a US SaaS serving EU customers".

Outputs

  • A plain-language compliance summary per topic
  • Applicable regulations with jurisdiction, requirement, and primary-source link
  • Key case law and enforcement actions with court, date, and holding
  • Recent or pending changes with dates and sources
  • The primary sources cited

The repo ships 3 pre-built briefs (US fintech lending in Texas, EU data privacy, CBD cosmetics in California), each with cited primary sources, so the viewer runs with no API calls.

How it works

A four-step research flow.

  1. Set the topic Give the agent a topic: an activity and a jurisdiction. It handles US federal and state, EU, and UK questions.
  2. Research the sources A research agent searches official sources and returns applicable regulations, key case law, and recent changes, each cited to a primary source.
  3. Render the brief The app writes a Markdown brief and a structured record, remapping every citation to its real public URL.
  4. Read and verify A viewer shows a readable summary and tabbed regulations, case law, changes, and sources, each expandable to its source link.
