How GatherGov uses AI[1][3][4]
GatherGov ingests local government meetings across 6,200-plus US municipalities and turns the audio and documents into a searchable knowledge graph. AI transcribes meeting recordings, parses permits and zoning records, and extracts entitlements, project applicants, and decision-maker activity. Users search any keyword across jurisdictions to surface development pipeline, entitlement risk, and policy shifts before they reach mainstream data sources.
- • Transcribes and indexes 4,000-plus government meeting hours daily across 6,200-plus municipalities
- • Parses unstructured permit PDFs and zoning records and standardizes them across jurisdictions
- • Builds a searchable knowledge graph so a keyword query surfaces relevant development and policy activity
- • Flags entitlement risk, moratoriums, rezoning notices, and public opposition as early-warning signals
- • Tracks decision makers including council members and their voting history
AI type: Speech-to-text transcription plus document extraction and NLP feeding a municipal knowledge graph
