One bad vote costs more than a year of Aide.

Aide isn't a chatbot you interrogate — it's a forensic reasoning analyst built for one job. It ingests your council's agenda pack and returns a structured brief: what's on track, what's at risk, what's unmeasured, and what you're being asked to endorse, with every point cited to its source item or page.

It also carries memory a general AI doesn't have: where your council's Long Term Plan, Annual Plan, or a prior brief for the same council or committee is already on file, Aide automatically checks continuity against them.

No. Aide is an analyst, not a decider. It surfaces what's on track, what's at risk, what's unmeasured, and what you're endorsing by accepting — but your judgment, your community knowledge, and your vote remain entirely yours. Read the terms.

No. Aide evaluates process, not policy. It evaluates whether a document is complete, what financial or legal risks are stated, and whether current claims align with previous commitments. It holds no political opinions; it dispassionately maps the facts presented in your council's agenda pack so you can apply your own political judgment.

AI can make mistakes. Aide makes the risk visible rather than hiding it. Every point cites its source item or page, and if a claim can't be traced to the source, it's left out of the brief rather than guessed at. If Aide struggles to read a densely formatted document, it flags that document as lower-confidence and tells you to double-check the source PDF — rather than silently guessing at pages it read poorly. Treat Aide as a rigorously sourced starting point — it will tell you what it's found, but it doesn't replace your judgement.

Aide works from public council documents — agendas, reports, and adopted plans. Any personal information those documents contain is stripped out before it ever reaches the AI model. The AI reads the scrubbed document once to generate your brief, and the source document is deleted straight afterwards. Your brief stays in your account; the source document doesn't, and the model retains no memory of it. Privacy details.

Aide operates a “process and purge” model, but we do not represent that our handling of confidential and public-excluded papers is compliant under the Privacy Act 2020. Read the terms.

It covers preparation of briefs from any public council meeting pack you submit — standard agendas as well as progress and monitoring reports. Where your council's Long Term Plan, Annual Plan, or a prior brief for the same committee is already in Aide's library, each new brief is automatically cross-checked against those multi-year commitments, so you're not just seeing today's paper in isolation — you're seeing whether it still lines up with what was promised. Read the scope.

If Aide already has these plans on file for your council, your briefs will begin to cross-check them immediately. If we don't, please allow 24 hours for processing, from the time you activate your account. We'll notify you as soon as these plans are ready.
