FOI Genie
AI that drafts Freedom of Information responses — searching council knowledge bases and structuring compliant replies to meet statutory deadlines.
The problem FOI Genie solves
Councils receive thousands of Freedom of Information requests each year. Each one has a 20-working-day statutory deadline. Each one requires finding the right information across multiple systems, checking exemptions, and drafting a compliant response.
Most councils handle this manually. Staff chase colleagues for data. Responses get stuck in approval queues. Deadlines slip. ICO complaints follow.
FOI Genie automates the triage and drafting. It searches council knowledge bases, identifies relevant information, checks for exemptions, and produces a structured draft response that an officer can review and approve — not start from scratch.
In development
FOI Genie is currently in development, following the same co-creation approach as every Genie product: built inside a council, shaped by the people who do the work, proved in live service before wider release.
If your council is struggling with FOI volumes and deadlines, we’d like to hear from you. Early engagement shapes what the product does.
We’ll show you the product working — not slides, not a recording. You’ll see the output, the speed, and whether it fits your workflow. 30 minutes. No commitment.
