Built for citiesthat work.

The governed AI workspace built for local government — one trusted place to find answers, prepare work, and put more of your time back into your community.

Get Started

Built for the people who keep your city running.

City Clerk

Turn council meetings into minutes and action items, and pull the records behind a public-records request in minutes, not days.

City Manager

Ask across every department, summarize meetings, and prepare council-ready briefings without chasing staff for updates.

Budget Analyst

Analyze budget documents, compare line items across years, and pull together reports and summaries without rebuilding them by hand.

Permit Technician

Look up municipal code in seconds and auto-fill permit and application PDFs, so residents aren't left waiting.

City Attorney

Research ordinances, resolutions, and case files with cited answers you can trace back to the source before you advise the council.

Field Inspector

Capture field notes, fill out structured forms, and find the record you need from one place — whether you're at a desk or in the field.

Your team is ready. The information just isn't in one place.

Scattered

The answer usually exists — it's just spread across separate systems, drives, and inboxes that were never built to talk to each other.

Slow

Minutes, records requests, and status reports still get pieced together by hand, because the systems holding the pieces don't connect.

Buried

Your answer is in there — a 200-page packet, a scanned PDF, last year's minutes — but nothing makes it searchable, so it stays out of reach.

Everything your city runs on, in one governed workspace.

MainBranch brings your documents, meetings, and records into one place and connects them to the AI models your city has approved — so your team gets real help with everyday work, while IT keeps full visibility and control.
