What makes Pete the Pigeon better than ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini?

Big AI has a civics gap. Pete fills it for Ohio.

Ask the big AIs almost anything about the Statehouse and you get a hedge, and they’re quick to admit it. They wrote politics out of their products, in their own rulebooks. OpenAI bars ChatGPT from “political campaigning, lobbying.” Anthropic draws Claude’s line at messages to public officials and campaign targeting, and when Claude punts on an election question it steers you to a voter-turnout app instead of an answer. Google restricts what Gemini will say about elections at all.

Claude.ai: under its own answer, a banner says its election info may be outdated and points to a voting app
Claude, Aug 1, 2026.

Pete is everything you wish ChatGPT and Claude knew about the Ohio Statehouse and Ohio’s data: every bill, vote, hearing and campaign dollar, all 132 legislators, and up-to-the-minute transcriptions of every major legislative and committee event. On the public record, with a source on every answer. See the receipts.
