Atlas Governance vs CivicCA

Atlas Governance is a workspace for preparing board meetings, managing their proceedings, and following up on decisions and actions. Its tools include agendas, minutes drafting, electronic votes, document storage, and chat, with agenda templates, recurring meetings, decision tracking, and action-item tracking. The service runs on web, Android, and iOS. Pro and higher plans include Zoom and Microsoft Teams integration; the Legacy plan lists the full AI stack: Insights, Notetaker, Compare, and Meeting Cast. Plans start at $17/user/mo (annual), with a 30-day trial that does not require a credit card. The trial provides Legacy access, then pauses until a paid plan is chosen. Atlas Gov says it uses AES-256 encryption and two-factor authentication, holds ISO 27001, 27701, 27017, 27018, and 22301 certifications, and hosts on Microsoft Azure. It says board documents are not used to train AI models and AI assistance operates by inference without retaining content. The company was founded in 2016 in Brazil and says it serves publicly listed companies, cooperatives, state-owned enterprises, and nonprofits.

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.
