How it Works
CivicSummary takes thousands upon thousands of pages generated by cities and turns them into clear, concise summaries that highlight key decisions, action items, and insights—ready to read, share, or translate in seconds.
The city publishes agendas, minutes, and resolutions as lengthy PDFs—often 30–100 pages each. Key details can be buried under dense legal language and tables.
CivicSummary reads every page and produces a clear, bullet-style summary in seconds. Get the headlines, decisions, and action items—without parsing jargon or endless paragraphs.
Automatically craft social-media-ready posts: “✅ 2021 Arts Grants approved • 📅 AR mural pilot announced • 📖 WeHo Reads lineup set.”
Need a Russian, Spanish, Chinese—or any other—version? CivicSummary delivers accurate, context-preserving translations instantly.
