Once connected (see setup above), use the Regulatory Actions tool:

- Ask: "Flag any notice with a comment deadline in the next 14 days"
Example Prompt
Try this with OpenClaw using the Regulatory Actions tool
Search the Federal Register for all notices from the CFPB, OCC, and Federal Reserve in the last 60 days. Return a table with agency, notice type, date, title, and comment deadline. Flag any with open comment periods.
Tips
- Run Federal Register searches weekly for agencies relevant to your industry
- Set a comment deadline alert threshold of 30 days — earlier warnings allow time to engage external counsel
- Track final rules separately from proposed rules to build a regulatory change log with effective dates
