About LTN

Civic Intelligence
for Every Citizen

Liberty Tree Network was built on a simple premise: the documents and decisions that govern your life should be accessible and understandable to you — not just to lawyers and lobbyists.

"When the people are well informed, they can be trusted with their own government."
— Thomas Jefferson, 1789

Democracy Works When Citizens Are Informed

Liberty Tree Network is a civic intelligence platform that applies AI to the problem of democratic illiteracy — not because citizens are unintelligent, but because the documents and processes of government have become deliberately opaque.

We index legislation, constitutional documents, founding-era texts, and historical legal codes — then make them queryable through conversational AI trained to give grounded, source-traceable answers.

No editorializing. No spin. We tell you what the bill says, what its proponents argue, what its critics argue, and where to read the primary source. The judgment is yours.

Grounded Answers, Not Guesswork

Most AI chatbots generate answers from training weights — they're pattern-matching, not retrieving. Lidy uses Retrieval-Augmented Generation: every response is constructed from actual indexed source documents pulled in real time.

When you ask about a bill, Lidy retrieves the relevant bill text, cross-references related legislation, surfaces historical precedent from foundational documents, and assembles a grounded response. The same infrastructure powers our DataPulse white-label product for campaigns and organizations.
