"Politik is a nonpartisan, data-driven guide to how your leaders vote and where they get their campaign funds. Just submit your ZIP code and Politik does the rest. You can ask questions about issues and legislative procedure, and say how you'd vote on hot bills."
"Zoom out: The three of us are international relations majors. Not one of us had any prior experience coding or developing. For the first time in history, that didn't seem to be an issue. Using AI, we mapped out a path and built a strategy. We learned how to create motion graphics, animations, automated email marketing campaigns, app prototypes and much more."
"Our secret sauce: The actual app was built by a self-taught programmer and AI savant, Nate Laquis. Nate, like us, didn't study computer science or programming. He was a finance major, driven by passion and curiosity, and has now started a software-building agency, Kanopy Labs. Nate worked his magic with our app, Politik, building the software in under three months."
"Context is king. Create skills and memory files for your model to reference for your everyday tasks. A simple example: We make all our video content using Claude Code. Every time we shoot a video, we have Claude analyze a file using every previous post, our brand guidelines and our video development skills. A process that used to take hours or days now takes us 20 minutes."
Politik is a nonpartisan, data-driven guide that shows how leaders vote and where campaign funds come from. Users submit a ZIP code to receive information and can ask questions about issues and legislative procedure. Users can also indicate how they would vote on major bills. Three international relations majors built the app without prior coding experience. They used AI to map a path and build a strategy, learning motion graphics, animations, automated email marketing, and app prototyping. A self-taught programmer, Nate Laquis, built the software in under three months. AI amplified their passions, helped them create reusable context and memory files, and sped up tasks like video analysis and production.
