Govera drafts your agendas, staff reports, and other agency documents from your own adopted record. We link each claim to the page it came from, check each draft against your ordinances, policies, and records, and flag anything that does not line up. Everything lives in one place, so staff have no reason to reach for an outside AI tool. Nothing goes out until your staff approves it.
Built by a former city manager. Now live in public agencies, and ready for any state, county, parish, or city.
The live demo runs on a sample agency. In a pilot, we load your own ordinances and policies.
Staff recommends awarding the annual road resurfacing contract to the lowest responsible bidder at $214,750, consistent with the FY24 capital improvement plan1 and the council’s March direction to proceed2. The procurement followed the city’s competitive bidding policy3.
Each statement links to the page it came from in your record, so staff can check it before it goes out.
Each draft shows High, Medium, or Low confidence, based on how many sources support it.
Nothing goes out until your staff reviews and approves it.
“As a former city manager, I spent hours on every agenda: pulling the history, finding the right ordinance, checking the numbers, and hoping I had not missed something that would surface at the dais. I built Govera so no one has to work that way. It drafts from your own record, links each claim to its source, and flags what does not line up before it goes public. The same item now takes minutes. Your staff still make every call.”

Whatever you call your jurisdiction
Every draft, response, and document is reviewed and approved by a staff member before it moves forward.
Generated content is grounded in your city's actual records: past resolutions, votes, and reports.
Formats, sections, and workflows are built around your city's standards, not a one size fits all template.
Govera layers on top of how your team already works. No rip and replace, no forced changes.
How it typically works
Staff use Govera to draft and review materials, then export the finished document into whichever agenda system your city uses to post the final packet.
Common agenda systems
The systems listed above are examples of agenda platforms used by municipalities. Govera has no integrations or formal partnerships with these vendors. Loading past records from a public agenda portal has been done so far for Legistar, CivicClerk, CivicPlus Archive Center and OnBase Agenda Online.

Govera creates a searchable, centralized repository of meeting history, decisions, supporting documents, policies, contracts, and organizational context so knowledge stays with the agency, not with any individual.
Surface relevant decisions, actions, and outcomes from your organization's history.
Ensure materials follow established formats, policies, and organizational standards.

Create a clear, auditable record of how decisions were prepared and reviewed.
Govera has been shaped through collaboration with experienced public sector professionals across local government, education, and special districts.
Feedback from administrators, clerks, department leaders, attorneys, technology leaders, and elected officials continues to guide platform development.
