Civic Signals monitors city councils, school boards, zoning hearings, and budget sessions in real time — alerting you the moment a story-worthy signal emerges.

Detected EntitiesLocal government is one of the most underreported beats in American journalism. City councils pass budgets that shape daily life. Zoning boards quietly rezone neighborhoods. School boards make curriculum decisions that affect thousands of children. And most of it goes unnoticed.
Civic Signals changes that. Our intelligence engine continuously scans public records, meeting agendas, vote logs, and official minutes across hundreds of municipalities — categorizing every signal by urgency, topic, and geographic relevance.
Each signal arrives in your feed pre-classified: Urgent, Watch, or Monitor. You see the source, the jurisdiction, the key entities involved, and a brief AI-generated summary of what matters. No noise — just the signals that deserve your attention.
