CivicPlus AI has added a tool that drafts local government meeting minutes from agendas and existing transcripts or captions. The company announced the launch on October 27, 2026, alongside updated usage figures for its resident-facing CivicPlus Agent.

Key Takeaways

  • The new tool produces agenda-organized drafts, but clerks must review every AI-generated section before publication.
  • CivicPlus says more than 80,000 users have turned to its agent over a few months.

How CivicPlus AI drafts meeting minutes

AI Generated Minutes is a capability within CivicPlus Agenda and Meeting Management. It uses a municipality’s agenda and existing transcripts or captions to generate draft discussion narratives organized around the meeting agenda.

Clerks can review, edit and finalize drafts in a single workspace and select previous minutes as a reference for style and detail. Motions, seconds and votes remain under clerk control, and every AI-generated section requires human review before publication.

CivicPlus says the tool is designed to reduce the process to as little as 10 minutes. In a company survey, a majority of municipal clerks reported spending more than an hour finalizing minutes for a typical meeting, with some spending up to four hours. The announcement did not provide measured completion times for the new tool.

Resident-facing agent usage

CivicPlus Agent launched in January 2026 and answers resident questions using local government information. CivicPlus says the agent uses indexed data across its Civic Impact Platform to support 84% of its responses.

The company also reported that New Castle County, Delaware, saw an approximately 40% improvement in its resolution rate and an increase in answer accuracy after implementing the agent. The announcement did not specify the comparison period or baseline for those figures.
