Chairwoman Bice Requests Funding for House AI Agent and Secures Funding for House Rules Digital Infrastructure Modernization

WASHINGTON - Today, Subcommittee on Modernization and Innovation Chairwoman Stephanie Bice (OK-05) formally requested funding to support the development and implementation of My Intelligent Assistant, a secure and customizable AI agent connected to data sources throughout the House, and announced that funding has been secured for PRISM, a database application that modernizes the digital infrastructure critical to House Rules Committee operations, as well as the overall legislative process.

My Intelligent Assistant, or Mia, is designed to assist House staff with essential tasks, find information quickly, interact with House systems and data, and support the development of customized skills and tools that help offices work more efficiently and effectively.

PRISM will replace the Rules Committee's outdated legacy system with a leading-edge, secure platform capable of handling increased amendment intake, data management across multiple workflows, automated document generation, statutory reporting, analytical outputs, and more.

"The Subcommittee is committed to creating an environment where staff are encouraged and enabled to build state-of-the-art tools that help us work better for our constituents," said Chairwoman Bice. "House staff are already building AI tools for managing schedules, summarizing bills, monitoring floor activity, and more. Mia will accelerate the kind of ongoing innovation that's needed to ensure that Congress remains current. PRISM will also help us work better for our constituents by ensuring that we can consistently and reliably represent their views in the legislative process."

Background

The Modernization Initiatives Account was established in the FY 2021 Legislative Branch Appropriations Act to support improvements to House operations. Since its creation, it has funded multiple projects across the House with the goal of enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of Congress and highlighting the need for ongoing institutional modernization.

Funding requests are subject to approval by the House Appropriations Legislative Branch Subcommittee and the full House Appropriations Committee.
