AI assistant

Ask the governance AI.

Every answer cites the meeting, document, or decision it came from. Grounded in your own evidence, never hallucinated.

AI Chat page prompting the user with example questions about complaints policy, finance thresholds, procurement process and safeguarding review expectations
Grounded in your evidence

Retrieval, then generation. In that order.

The AI doesn’t guess. It searches your minutes, your documents, and your decisions, then summarises with citations. If it can’t find an answer, it tells you, it doesn’t make one up.

  • Every answer cites the source document or meeting
  • Search is scoped to your role, local governors only see their LGB
  • When evidence is missing, the AI says so explicitly
What people ask

The questions that come up every term.

Six examples from real governance work. Not stock prompts.

  • What did we decide about staff well-being last year?
  • Which policies are due for review this term?
  • Summarise the last Finance Committee meeting.
  • Are there unresolved actions assigned to me?
  • What does our safeguarding policy say about online safety?
  • Has any LGB raised concerns about admissions this year?
Trust- and school-scoped

Answers respect your role.

A local governor at one school doesn’t see another school’s evidence. A trustee sees the trust. A clerk sees what they clerk. The same access rules that apply to documents apply to AI answers.

  • Role-based retrieval, the AI never returns evidence the user can’t access
  • Trust-wide vs school-scoped questions, automatically
  • Audit log of every AI interaction, available to trust admins
AI assistance in the workflow

The AI isn’t just a chat box.

It pre-fills meeting minutes from the agenda, decisions, and challenge log. It drafts the next agenda from your committee’s cycle. It summarises long documents on the meeting brief. It’s embedded where it’s useful, not bolted on.

  • Minutes pre-fill, 80% drafted, the clerk edits the rest
  • Agenda templates from your committee’s annual cycle
  • Document summaries on the meeting brief
Privacy

Your evidence stays yours.

Your documents, minutes, and decisions are not used to train external models. We use external LLM providers under contracts that prohibit training on customer content.

  • No training on customer evidence, contractually prohibited
  • Disable AI features for your trust at any time
  • Full audit trail of AI usage available to trust admins

Ask the AI a question of your own evidence.

In the demo we’ll pull up your trust’s public policies and ask a question of them, live.
