What you will see in the demo

Three tools in one platform

📄
Agenda Translator
Upload your city's PDF agenda before a meeting. Every action item is translated into plain English automatically — what it is, what it means for residents and the bottom line in one sentence.
📷
Live Meeting View
During the meeting, residents follow along on their phones. As each item comes up for a vote, the translation appears in real time with the council's decision recorded instantly.
🔍
Legislation Search
Residents can search 37,000+ federal, Nevada, California, Arizona and Texas bills in plain English. Your city's residents get a full civic platform, not just a meeting tool.
