CivicCA
CivicCA is board and meeting management software for government agencies, covering agenda preparation, live meeting operations, minutes, public portals, and open-meeting compliance. Its agenda builder supports drag-and-drop sections and items, automatic numbering, packet creation, autosave, and keyboard shortcuts. A clerk-controlled console manages agenda navigation, votes, motions, public speakers, and meeting records; members can vote from tablets. The service also supports session links for remote voting and conflict declarations, along with public speaker registration and eComment.
CivicCA can draft minutes from transcripts with speaker attribution and recorded votes for clerk review. Other AI functions listed include summaries, plain-language rewriting, conversational Q&A, and transcription with speaker diarization. The maker says relevant data goes to Anthropic for text analysis and AssemblyAI for transcription, and is not used to train AI models. It says the software checks 51 state and local open-meeting frameworks when an agenda is published. Integrations include Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Laserfiche, YouTube, SentraCheck, and Municode. The product is available on web, iOS, and Android. A 14-day trial is listed; plan prices are presented at purchase or quoted through sales.
