Minutes drafted in minutes: Diligent Community’s AI speeds up meeting documentation

For clerks and board administrators, preparing accurate public-meeting minutes is often a days-long, manual process. Diligent Community’s new AI-Supported Minutes transforms this workflow — turning livestream captions and meeting data into a structured, agenda-aligned minutes draft in minutes, not hours.
AI-supported minutes: Fast, accurate and transparent
AI-Supported Minutes helps clerks and board admins dramatically reduce the time and effort required to prepare minutes. By grounding the draft in actual meeting transcripts, admins start from an accurate outline instead of a blank page.
- Minutes preparation shifts from hours or days to a fast review-and-approve workflow
- Improves accuracy, transparency and compliance with public-sector documentation expectations
- Integrated workflow for agendas, livestreams, timestamps and AI-generated minutes
Stronger transparency and public access
Once approved, minutes appear on the transparency site where the public can view the video, agenda and timestamped minutes side-by-side.
- Constituents can jump straight to the exact moment of discussion
- Reduces staff workload and improves meeting-to-publish turnaround
- Searchable captions reduce public-records requests
