DocBot Recaps

The Documenters Bot, or DocBot for short, helps us synthesize our notes from local government meetings. Documenters across the county produce thousands of words, but you only want the key highlights. The writing is AI-generated, but the content is entirely based on information collected by human Documenters and meticulously edited by our team of editors.

News and Briefs

News articles and briefs are written by reporters and other journalists, often with help from Documenters. Sometimes they use information from Documenters’ notes or special projects. In these articles, journalists provide more context, investigate issues in greater detail, and show how they affect different communities.


Documenters Voices

Documenter Voices are community perspectives that are often overlooked in the news. Content is hyperfocused on the interests of community members and community partners. It may be coverage based on nonpartisan partner campaigns and forums, perspective pieces that come from individual community members, or special projects that seek the opinions of the community. We believe that lived experience is as valuable as journalistic experience. This section is expected to change over time in order to best reflect the needs of the community.
