AI+ Municipal Services Managers
Run Smarter Councils and Cities with AI
You know how to run the service. AI knows how to write the reports.
Your team is good at the service. They're drowning in the paperwork around it. Thirty-four prompt templates — for resident letters, performance reports, committee papers, procurement documentation, and regulatory notices — plus the CIVIC Protocol: a five-question governance check that ties every AI use to community benefit, inclusion, public accountability, and democratic transparency. Includes a 90-day action plan you can execute within your existing authority. Built by an AI engineering firm for council managers who know how to run a service — and want AI to handle the documentation that stops them running it well.
