Bringing Local Government Into the Light.
AI-powered transparency tools to make public meetings searchable, shareable, and understandable — for staff, citizens, and elected officials.
The Challenge of Civic Transparency
Accessing and understanding public meeting information is harder than it should be, for everyone involved.
Ever wondered what really happens in your local government meetings? Want to know who voted yes on a school closure, rate increase, or controversial policy?
For most people, this critical information is buried in hours of video footage that almost no one has the time to watch.
For government staff, it’s hundreds of hours spent preparing documents and re-researching what already happened in past meetings.
