Minutes drafted in minutes: Diligent Community’s AI speeds up meeting documentation

For clerks and board administrators, preparing accurate public-meeting minutes is often a days-long, manual process. Diligent Community’s new AI-Supported Minutes transforms this workflow, turning livestream captions into a structured, agenda-aligned minutes draft in minutes, not hours. 

AI-supported minutes: Fast, accurate and transparent

AI-Supported Minutes is available as part of Diligent Community’s Livestream Manager Pro and Plus packages. This helps clerks and board admins dramatically reduce the time and effort required to prepare minutes. By grounding the draft in actual meeting transcripts, admins start from an accurate outline instead of a blank page.

• Minutes preparation shifts from hours or days to a fast review-and-approve workflow
• Improves accuracy, transparency and compliance with public-sector documentation expectations
• Integrated workflow for agendas, livestreams, timestamps and AI-generated minutes

Stronger transparency and public access

Once approved, minutes appear on the transparency site where the public can view the video, agenda and timestamped minutes side-by-side.

• Constituents can jump straight to the exact moment of discussion
• Reduces staff workload and improves meeting-to-publish turnaround
• Searchable captions reduce public-records requests

Purpose-built rather than generic streaming tools

Unlike general-purpose streaming services, Diligent Community’s Livestream Manager is built for specifically for public sector workflows and integrates tightly with agendas and minutes.

• Governance-specific AI minutes creation
• Seamless transcript-to-minutes workflow
• Split-screen video with timestamped minutes
