What they do

Problem

Government agencies handle FOIA/public records requests through slow, manual search and redaction workflows that are costly, backlog-prone, and legally risky.

Solution

GovGuard provides AI agents that search across agency records, flag and redact sensitive information, and draft response letters for FOIA/public records compliance review.

Who it's for

City clerks and public records/compliance staff at local government agencies processing FOIA/public records requests.
