You can now check Spanish law, statistics and weather through AI, for free
If you have ever tried to confirm something official in Spain (the exact wording of a law, a real statistic, the current rule rather than a forum’s memory of it) you will know the peculiar dead end you hit. The information is public. It is even free. It just sits in the Boletín Oficial del Estado, the INE statistics service, the Catastro or AEMET, in formats built for lawyers, developers and machines, and written in Spanish.
For remote workers and autónom@s trying to make good decisions, that gap has a cost. It is why so much of what circulates about Spanish visas, tax thresholds and residency rules is second-hand, and why a wrong figure can travel for months before anyone checks it against the source. We see it constantly, and it is why Remote Work Europe treats primary sources as non-negotiable.
So a new free tool is worth telling you about. It is called Spain AI Kit, and it lets an AI assistant read Spain’s official data sources directly. For transparency: it is built by Jim, my colleague at Solopreneur Superpowers, the venture I co-founded, so I am not a neutral party. I am telling you about it because it is genuinely useful, and because it is free and open-source.
What it lets you do
The kit connects an AI assistant to four official sources:
- the BOE, Spain’s official gazette, along with more than 12,000 consolidated laws, national and from all 17 autonomous communities
- INE, the national statistics institute
- the Catastro, the property and land registry
- AEMET, for weather, UV, fire risk and beach forecasts
To see how it behaves, I asked it about teletrabajo, remote working. It returned the official 2020 royal decree-law on remote work in the public sector, with its permanent government link and confirmation that it is still in force, and it pulled up the actual official gazette for the day I asked. Not a summary of a summary. The source itself.
The honest caveats
Two things matter here. First, this is a community project, not an official service of the Spanish government, and it does not pretend otherwise. Second, and this is the house rule you have heard from us before: a tool like this is excellent for research and useless as a substitute for advice. For a visa application, a tax position, or anything with a deadline attached, you still verify with a qualified professional. What the kit changes is the quality of your starting point: primary sources in minutes, in your own language, instead of a stranger’s half-remembered version.
There is also a small knack to it. Its legal search matches on the Spanish title of a law, so the term you choose matters; teletrabajo worked where a looser phrase drew a blank. Worth knowing before you decide it has nothing for you.
How to get it
Three of the four sources need no key at all; the weather one asks for a free AEMET key that takes under a minute. It installs into Claude, and you will find it in the Solopreneur Superpowers marketplace.
If you spend any real time inside Spanish bureaucracy, it is a useful thing to have within reach, on the strict understanding that it points you at the source and a qualified human still signs off the decision.
