Ask, find and understand. Instantly.
Ask GovernAI a question in natural language and get instant, cited insights from your board materials — with answers able to be applied through an expert lens that fits the decision in front of you.
Start with a question, then drill down to the right answer.
"Compare this quarter's risk register to last quarter's. What's new and what's resolved?"
- Ask a question and get a direct, synthesized answer, not a list of documents to read through yourself
- Every answer is backed by a citation straight to its source in your board books, minutes, and resolutions
- Follow up and drill down, the way you would with a colleague who's already read everything
- See only what you're authorized to, automatically
Other AI tools start without your board context. GovernAI works securely with it.
General AI tools only work with what you give them. GovernAI automatically draws from your materials, your board's own context and history, and three decades of built-in boardroom expertise — with an intelligent reasoning and knowledge layer securely connecting it all.
Connected knowledge and reasoning
A canonical, relationship-aware knowledge layer that ensures GovernAI reasons across context (instead of just retrieving documents) and connects the dots you didn't ask it to connect.
Board materials
Board packs, resolutions and committee records, synced automatically from Diligent Boards.
Prior decisions & precedent
Your own board's history, instantly queryable instead of re-discovered each cycle.
Public record
Regulatory filings, market developments and news signals from outside your four walls.
Expert perspectives
Curated domain lenses: Risk & Compliance Specilaist, Board Chair, Cyber Consultant, and more.
Governance instinct
Thanks to Diligent's three decades of experience serving the world's leading boardrooms, GovernAI instinctively knows how boards work, how workflows move, and what makes a governance record defensible.

Not just another AI chatbot
General LLMs don't know your board, your permissions or your materials. GovernAI does, securely and with rich context.
| General AI tools (ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini) | GovernAI | |
|---|---|---|
Board material access | Starts from zero every session — no access to your materials | Synced automatically from Diligent Boards, no manual upload |
Governance permissions | Not permission-aware — no concept of who can see what | Scoped entirely to each director's existing Diligent permissions, no configuration required |
Data training | Enterprise data can be exposed to consumer-grade tools | Never used to train any AI model, by anyone, never goes out to public record |
Data handling | Sensitive materials must be pasted or attached outside your secure environment | Materials never leave Diligent's secure, permissioned environment |
Citations & audit trail | No citations, no auditable record | Every answer cited; logged queries support Duty of Care documentation |
Setup | Re-explain context and re-upload files every session | No configuration, no setup — valuable from day one
