FOI requests are growing. Committee minutes take days. Your team is shrinking.
FOI has a 20-day statutory deadline and no slack in the system. Committee services are overwhelmed — every meeting generates hours of manual minute-writing. Finance close is still manual. Team size is falling year on year. Previous digital transformation delivered dashboards, not operational time savings.
You know AI should help. But nothing on the market fits how your team actually works.
FOI is the most urgent pain — but there’s no off-the-shelf product that understands council FOI workflows. The information sits across dozens of systems, the redaction rules are complex, and the clock is always ticking.
Minutes take hours to produce because generic transcription tools don’t understand council committee structures. They give you a transcript, not structured minutes with actions, decisions, and agenda items.
You’ve been promised “digital transformation” before. It delivered strategy documents and dashboards, not time savings. Your team is smaller than it was three years ago and the workload hasn’t shrunk to match.

AI-assisted freedom of information response handling. This is the product corporate teams ask about most — and we’re being honest: it’s not live yet. We’re building it because no one else is building an FOI tool that understands council workflows, redaction rules, and the 20-day clock.
