AI tools for UK local government councillors
AI tools for councillors: your committee packs summarised, your ward watched, your parish reports written. Pre-configured to the patch you represent, so there’s nothing to set up and nothing technical to learn.
The councillor's job
Being a councillor means being an expert on everything — committee packs, planning, highways, residents’ casework, etc — and it never stops. Many do it around a full-time job, with no officer support. The admin alone runs to hours a week.

What you get today
Ward intelligence
Every Monday at 6am, a digest of what's happening where you represent — mentions of you, your council, your towns and parishes — searched across the UK web, checked by AI for relevance, and delivered to your inbox and dashboard. Pro refreshes it daily.
Summaries
Drop in a PDF or Word pack — agenda, planning report, draft minutes. A structured briefing comes back in under a minute: the decisions, the figures, the risks, what touches your ward, and the questions worth asking. The original is discarded; only your briefing is kept.
Parish reports
Add the key council achievements or news from the month — add emails, paste links or drop documents. At month-end you get a polished .docx covering every parish on your patch, in plain British English and in your voice, not corporate AI prose. The 2–3 hour chore becomes a 5-minute one.
The difference
Your data
Built security-first by a cybersecurity professional
Uploaded packs are processed in memory and deleted after extraction. Only the briefing you see is kept.
Your documents, digests and reports are never shared with third parties and never used to train any AI model.
You remain the data controller for anything you paste. Cancel and delete your account — and your data — any time.
Pay monthly. New features ship as we build them.
About the price of a coffee a week — and you can cancel anytime, no lock-in. A few hours saved per week and it's already paid for itself.

CouncillorOS is a set of AI tools for UK local government councillors. There are three: an AI summariser that turns committee papers and council documents into a briefing written for you; a weekly ward intelligence digest that watches the local press for your name, your council, and your towns and villages; and a parish report generator that produces a monthly report for your parishes from your pasted council-activity notes. It is a paid subscription with two tiers, Starter and Pro.
Yes — CouncillorOS is subscription software built specifically for UK local government councillors. It gives you three AI tools in one place: it summarises committee papers and council reports into a plain-English briefing, sends you a weekly digest of local news about your ward, and turns your council activity into a monthly report you can send to your parishes. It was built by a serving councillor. See what it does and pricing.
Upload the committee pack or council report as a PDF or Word document and CouncillorOS returns a structured briefing — the key points, recommendations, and questions worth asking — usually in a couple of minutes. It handles large committee packs (hundreds of pages) in one go, and gives a per-agenda-item briefing for full packs so nothing is missed. It reads the whole document so you can walk into the meeting prepared without reading every page.
CouncillorOS sends a weekly ward intelligence digest — it searches the local and national press for coverage of you by name, your council, and each of your towns and villages, filters out the noise, and delivers a short summary by email every Monday and in your dashboard. You set your patch once during sign-up and can update it any time. It means you hear about a planning row or a local story before a resident emails you about it.
Paste your council-activity notes or emails into CouncillorOS and it writes a single monthly report — organised by topic — that you can download as a Word document and send to every parish you represent. It produces one general report for all your parishes rather than making you write a separate one for each. You review and edit the draft before you send it, so it stays in your voice.
CouncillorOS is built for the data-handling expectations of UK local government: it processes your documents to produce a briefing and does not retain the uploaded source files afterwards, and you remain the data controller for anything you paste in. Personal data is handled under UK GDPR, hosting is in the EU, and the third-party providers that process content are listed openly on the service providers page. See the privacy notice for the full detail.
From the founder
“I'm a serving county councillor with a full-time job. The tools the role needs didn't exist, so I built them using my experience as a cybersecurity professional. Protecting your data and maximising efficiency is how I work.”
Less time on the admin.
