Problem
Local government staff and elected officials struggle to access and synthesize decades of institutional knowledge scattered across PDFs, filing cabinets, and meeting recordings. This fragmentation slows down report drafting, policy research, and public records responses, consuming thousands of staff hours and delaying critical decisions.
Solution
Madison AI builds a dedicated AI data layer for local governments, indexing documents from across an agency's systems into a single, searchable platform. Staff and elected officials can query the system in natural language and receive answers grounded in their own records, with citations to the original source documents. The platform includes purpose-built agents for workflows like staff report drafting, community development, procurement, and public records requests. Every response is traceable and reviewed by a human before it is used, ensuring accuracy and accountability. The system runs entirely on Microsoft Azure with dedicated, isolated environments per customer, so no data is shared, trained on, or retained by model providers.
Target Audience
Primary customers are city and county governments, including staff, elected officials, and IT departments, seeking to improve operational efficiency and institutional knowledge access. The platform is also relevant for public records officers and department heads who need faster, more accurate document retrieval and reporting.
