Council agendas, translated into plain English — before residents ever see them
A quick walkthrough of the problem, the product, what it looks like, and what a pilot costs.
What is the problem?
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.
What does CivicLens do?
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?
Residents visit your city page before every meeting and see every agenda item explained in plain English.
Your clerk uploads the agenda template, reviews AI-generated translations and approves them before publication.
During the meeting, residents follow along in real time as items are discussed and votes are recorded.
What does it cost and how do I start?
All pilots: 60 days free, no auto-renewal, one page to sign.
