Get instant, cited insights from your board materials.
Your directors can finally stop reaching for ungoverned LLMs and start asking their securely-stored board materials directly for answers with GovernAI. Your team spend less time fielding information requests, and get time back for higher value work.
Start with a question, then drill down to the right answer.
"Compare this quarter's risk register to last quarter's. What's new and what's resolved?"
- Ask a question and get a direct, synthesized answer, not a list of documents to read through yourself
- Every answer is backed by a citation straight to its source in your board books, minutes, and resolutions
- Follow up and drill down, the way you would with a colleague who's already read everything
- See only what you're authorized to, automatically
