Meeting-record intelligence for local government

AI search for city council agendas and meeting minutes.

Give residents a faster way to find what their council discussed, proposed, amended, and approved. Curia.IQ searches the public meeting record in plain language and points residents back to the agenda, packet, minutes, or attachment behind the answer.

Residents should not have to read hundreds of PDFs to find one public decision.

City websites are useful for current services and general information. Council records answer a different set of questions: What was placed on the agenda? What did the council discuss? Who made a motion? What action was approved? When did the vote occur? Curia.IQ gives those records their own search experience so residents can explore the public meeting history directly.

Agenda-first answers

Ask about agenda items, staff reports, resolutions, motions, votes, public hearings, and the issues scheduled for discussion.

Search across meeting history

Search across indexed meeting dates and record types instead of opening one meeting page at a time and guessing which document contains the answer.

Traceable public records

Responses can link residents to the underlying agenda, packet, minutes, or attachment so they can verify the source and read the full context.

One question, one public record, one clearer path to the answer.

The agenda-search index is built specifically from the jurisdiction’s public meeting records: city council agendas, agenda packets, meeting minutes, resolutions, staff reports, and related attachments.

It is not trained on general website data. That separation keeps the search focused on council business and lets a city offer a distinct way to explore public decisions, discussions, and votes. The city’s regular website content can remain available through a separate resident-information assistant or search experience.

Common questions

Good questions.
Clear answers.

What local government teams want to know before getting started with Curia.IQ.

Talk to our team
Does Curia.IQ train an AI model on our city's data?

No. Curia.IQ uses retrieval at answer time. Approved public-facing city or county content is indexed so the assistant can locate relevant information, but it is not used to retrain or fine-tune the underlying Google Gemini foundation model.

What happens when the city has not published an answer?

If official guidance is not publicly available, Curia.IQ does not guess. Instead, the assistant can identify the responsible department and provide an available phone number, email address, or 311 link. The unanswered question can also be logged anonymously so staff can see which topics may need clearer public documentation.

Can residents verify the answer?

Yes. Every supported answer is traceable to official public information. Curia.IQ can cite the source used for the response, such as a municipal-code section, ordinance, department policy page, official website page, meeting agenda, or agenda packet, with a link residents can open for themselves.

Can it work with our existing website?

Yes. Curia.IQ is designed to embed into common municipal website environments and index approved public-facing pages and documents. We provide two small pieces of code for your webmaster to install; a typical installation takes about five minutes. More complex integrations, including 311 or ticketing systems, can be evaluated as a custom request.

What can administrators learn from the analytics?

Anonymous unanswered-question logs can show what residents are trying to find but cannot currently locate on the website. These patterns can support content planning, reveal recurring service questions, and help identify future 311 or workflow-integration opportunities.

How do you address AI privacy and accessibility concerns?

Our Trust & Security page explains the Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform data boundary, model-training protections, source-grounding controls, accessibility targets, and responsible-AI approach. Curia.IQ's core knowledge base is limited to government information and open records that are already publicly available.
