See every new rule coming for your business on one timeline
It turns scattered rule changes into a dated timeline ranked by how much each one touches your business.
Published . Steps as of November 2026.
How do I find out about new rules coming for my small business?
Ask an AI with web search to scan upcoming law, tax and platform changes for your type of business and where you sell, with a source link for each. Perplexity and Claude with web search on both cite sources you can open. ChatGPT works too when search is on. It suits owners who sell online or across state lines. Treat it as an early warning, then confirm anything marked high with your accountant or lawyer.

Your prompt
Fill in your details. Skip any you like.
Claude and ChatGPT open with your prompt already typed in. Perplexity can't be filled in from a link, so its button copies your prompt: paste it into the new chat.
The prompt that gets copied
Research the rule changes coming for a business like mine. This is a research scan with sources, not legal or tax advice. My business: [YOUR BUSINESS, e.g. a home bakery that ships cookies] Where I operate and sell: [WHERE YOU SELL, e.g. my state, plus online nationwide] How I sell and get paid: [HOW YOU SELL, e.g. Etsy, Instagram, card reader] Please: 1. Find laws, regulations, tax changes and platform policy changes that take effect or are proposed in the next 18 months and could affect me. 2. For each one give: what changes, the date, who it applies to, an impact rating (high, medium or low) for my business, one line on what I'd need to do, and a link to the source. 3. Show them as a timeline in date order. 4. Mark anything that's only proposed or that you're unsure applies to me. 5. End with the three items I should raise with my accountant or lawyer first.
Describe your business and where you sell. AI researches rule, tax and platform policy changes coming in the next 18 months, ranks each by impact, and links every one to its source.
