Aware automatically turns your public meetings into plain-English summaries — reviewed, approved, and published by your team from one simple dashboard. No IT department. No extra staff. Up and running this week.
The towns that residents trust most aren't just the ones that make good decisions — they're the ones that communicate those decisions clearly. Aware gives your team the tools to do that effortlessly, making you the administration that brought technology to the people and transformed how your community stays informed.
Be the town others look to. When residents are the most informed in the region, they see exactly who made that happen.
Every decision your team works hard on now reaches residents within hours — in plain language they actually understand.
Leading with innovation shows residents their local government isn't just keeping up — it's setting the pace.
You publish everything you're required to. But dense PDFs and multi-hour videos aren't how people stay informed in 2026.
The average council meeting runs 2–4 hours. Fewer than 1% of residents ever watch the recording.
Official minutes are written for the record, not for residents. Legal language and long formats push people away.
"What was decided about the budget?" Staff answer the same questions residents could find themselves — if the information were accessible.
Residents who feel out of the loop disengage entirely. The less informed they are, the less they show up.
Whether you already stream meetings or have no video setup at all — Aware works for you.
If your meetings are already posted publicly — on YouTube, your website, or anywhere online — there's a good chance we already have your content. Unlock your city in minutes.
Don't stream your meetings? No problem. Our plug-and-play tablet and mic kit records audio, auto-transcribes, and generates summaries — no AV team, no IT involvement.
From meeting to resident inboxes in hours — automatically.
Your council, school board, or committee meets. Aware captures or ingests the content automatically.
Our AI produces short, plain-English summaries — unbiased, jargon-free against the source.
Subscribed residents receive summaries by email or WhatsApp. They can also ask follow-up questions using Ask Aware.
The same platform your residents use — shown here so your team knows exactly what you're offering your community.
Every tool your team needs to keep residents connected — without adding to your workload.
Every meeting gets a short, plain-English summary within hours of ending. No editing, no staff time. Residents get the key decisions without watching the full video.
Residents tap the Explain button on any summary item and get a plain-language breakdown. No calls to your office, no confused emails. Just residents who understand what was decided.
Ask Aware lets residents search across all your meeting history in plain English. "When did the council last discuss the park renovation?" They get an instant answer sourced directly from your official records.
The Aware Management Portal gives your team complete visibility and control over every summary before it ever reaches a resident — all from one clean dashboard.
When enabled, every AI-generated summary lands in a private queue before going live. Your team reads it, approves it, edits it if needed — then publishes with one click. Nothing reaches residents without your sign-off.
Every summary is fully editable in a rich-text editor before or after publishing. Correct a name, add context your staff knows isn't in the recording, or refine the language to match your community's tone. Your voice, enhanced by AI.
Need to pull a summary? One click unpublishes it instantly — it disappears from resident-facing views immediately. Useful when meeting content is under legal review, or when a correction needs to be made before residents see it.
Define the names of council members, staff, departments, neighborhoods, and local landmarks once — and Aware automatically recognizes and correctly attributes them in every summary going forward. No more "the councillor" when it should say "Mayor Johnson."
Under the ADA Title II rule published by the Department of Justice, all state and local governments must bring their web content and digital services into compliance with WCAG 2.1 Level AA. The clock is running.
WCAG compliance requires that your meeting videos have captions, your audio recordings have transcripts, and your documents are screen-reader accessible. That's a start — and it's required.
But here's what the rule doesn't solve: making information digestible. A captioned 3-hour video is technically accessible. A resident who can't sit through 3 hours still isn't informed.
Aware goes beyond the checkbox. Our platform takes your compliant video and audio and turns the content into plain-English summaries that residents can actually read, understand, and act on — in five minutes.
The law requires access to information. Aware ensures residents actually receive and understand it.
Captioned 3-hour video posted online. Technically accessible. Most residents never watch it.
Captioned video posted online — plus a plain-English summary delivered to every subscribed resident's inbox within hours.
Full transcript published as a PDF. Available, but 40+ pages of official language most residents can't parse.
Transcript available — plus residents can ask questions about it in plain English using Ask Aware, 24/7.
From clerks and managers who've already made the switch.
"We were spending hours each week fielding calls about what happened at council meetings. Since Aware, that's dropped significantly. Residents come to meetings more informed."
"Setup took less than a day. We already posted our meetings on YouTube so we were live almost immediately. The resident engagement dashboard is something we didn't know we needed."
"Our school board had low public engagement for years. Within two months of using Aware, we had residents citing specific agenda items at our meetings. That had never happened before."
