AI agent for elected officials
Town Hall Planning and Follow-Up Agent
A well-attended, accessible town hall and written answers to every question raised
What it does
A town hall takes weeks of venue calls, invitations and logistics, and afterwards the promised answers to residents fade. This agent plans the event from the date and topic. It checks venues for size, accessibility and transit, and compares dates against holidays, school calendars and other local events. It drafts invitations and a registration form with a question box. As questions arrive, it groups them by topic and flags duplicates. After the event, it matches each question to facts and sources, drafts answers and tracks which are answered. It checks that every question has an answer or a reason for none before the follow-up goes out. The official approves invitations and replies. Edge case: a venue that is accessible but has no transit access is flagged before booking.
How it works
