The Operating System for
Modern Local Government.
Turn a single agenda item into a complete staff memo, resolution, presentation, and packet, in minutes, not days.
Govera is a platform purpose built for the way local governments, school districts, and special districts actually work. Staff describe an agenda item in plain language (a contract award, an ordinance amendment, a personnel policy update) and Govera prepares every document needed: staff report, resolution, agenda caption, presentation, and Q&A prep, all grounded in the organization's own prior materials, not a generic template. Every output is fully editable and subject to staff review before any publication, approval, or distribution.
Every prior minute, staff report, resolution, and contract becomes queryable in plain English, with source citations on every answer. Staff ask questions; Govera finds the record.
Smart Create generates a complete first draft from a plain language item description, routed automatically through a configurable approval chain from submission to packet.
Commitments from meeting minutes are extracted, confirmed by the clerk, tracked, and surfaced before the next meeting. Contracts and grants are monitored against renewal windows automatically.
Every draft is checked against your organization's own prior votes and adopted policy. Govera helps catch purchasing policy conflicts, ordinance contradictions, and reports that contradict decisions already on the record, before they reach the dais.
"Built by practitioners with direct experience in local government management. Every feature reflects the real constraints and workflows of the people using it: secretaries, clerks, managers, attorneys, and department heads who run these organizations every day."
Govera Founding TeamPlatform Overview: ContinuedStaff always in control.
Govera generates first drafts. It does not make decisions. Every output is reviewed, edited, and approved by your staff before any document is distributed, any item advances in the approval chain, or any packet is sent to the governing body. The platform is designed to reduce the time staff spend on document preparation, not to replace the professional judgment that makes those documents accurate and appropriate.
Approval chains are fully configurable by item type. A contract may require Finance, Attorney, and Manager sign off before the Secretary or Clerk approves it for the packet. A routine discussion item may move directly to the Clerk. Your organization defines the rules, and Govera enforces them automatically and preserves a timestamped audit trail at every step.
Each organization gets its own database schema, fully isolated from every other agency on the platform.
Data encrypted at rest with AWS KMS and in transit with enforced TLS 1.2+. Secrets stored in a vault, never in code.
Role based access controls and a complete audit log of every change, attributable to the individual user.
Govera's infrastructure and access controls are designed to meet SOC 2 standards. Govera has not yet completed a formal SOC 2 certification.
Your documents are processed by enterprise AI providers (Anthropic, OpenAI and Cohere) only to generate your outputs and search results. Govera does not use agency data to train third-party models. On request, Govera provides an export of your documents and generated files. If your organization ends its agreement with Govera, we delete your data from our systems.
