Public Records Request Management demo
Records requests clocked, searched and released, each withheld line stamped with its law. 1:34
What the demo shows
Takes FOIA and state records requests from intake to release, each withholding cited by law.
Agents classify each records request and compute its clock, draft narrowing messages, put records on hold and search every department, propose each withholding with its statute and harm, then argue against every withholding before release; the records officer approves every message and every release.
Transcript
- Public Records Request Management runs records requests from intake to release for records officers.
- Federal requests hit a record 1.7 million last year.
- Appeals rose 59%. Every open request carries its legal clock, so none slips.
- Request 1187 wants police over time records.
- The clock and fee come first.
- On day one, an agent narrowed it to six custodians and the officer approved.
- The search agent held five sources first, then found 342 pages.
- The review agent proposed 35 redactions, stamped right on the pages.
- Then a challenge agent argued for release, lifting nine stamps on names already public.
- Each stamp cites its statute, reason, and harm, and feeds the exemption index.
- Dana Whitfield checks the gates and approves release on day 18-20.
- Cited, signed, and logged.
- 320 pages in full, 22 in part.
- Build on Botminds, agents, data, screens, and governance on one platform.
