Council agendas your residents will actually read
A quick walkthrough of the problem, the product, what it looks like and what a pilot costs.
The problem with council agendas
Most city council agendas are written in government and legal language that the average resident cannot understand. Items like Resolution 2026-28 or Ordinance Amendment 14.7.3(b) mean nothing to someone trying to understand what their city is deciding.
How CivicLens fixes it
CivicLens takes your council agenda and translates every item into plain English. Your clerk reviews and approves each translation before residents see it. Nothing goes live without your approval.
What does it look like? Demo city
Residents visit your city page before every meeting and see every agenda item explained in plain English.
Your clerk uploads the agenda template, reviews the AI-generated plain English summaries and approves them before publication.
During the meeting, our Live Meeting Tool lets residents follow along on their phones as items are discussed and votes are recorded in real time. Watch our demo meeting → Now rolling out to pilot cities.
Embed it on your own site
Embed your city page anywhere. Add one line of code to your own city website, and residents see the same ballot guide and agenda summaries without leaving your site. No separate login, no extra maintenance. When your clerk approves a new summary, it updates everywhere it is embedded, automatically.
This is a live embed of our demo city's page. It is the same widget you would add to your own city website.
