CityStream Solutions for Every Organization

1. Record Search

Find the right record in seconds.

  • Describe a request in plain language and let the system find it, using keyword, metadata, and semantic retrieval across text extracted from every supported document, including scanned files processed with OCR
  • Review suggested records in the top-ranked results, each with a supporting evidence excerpt and a one-click link back to the complete source
  • Large compound PDFs are split into individual records, each kept linked to its parent file and supporting page range, so a result always opens at the right page
  • Records are classified into your agency's own categories and extracts agreed metadata, so you can filter by document type, date, address, parcel number, project, ordinance or resolution number, permit identifier, or any agreed field

2. Request Management

Run every request from start to finish on one platform.

  • Each request gets routed to the right staff automatically, with approval sequences tracked at every stage
  • Reminders are sent before deadlines hit, and keeps a clear timeline of where every request stands
  • Ready-made response templates for everyday situations make communication easier: denying a record, reporting no responsive records, or requesting more information before you can proceed
  • Records where processing failed are flagged, so nothing is excluded, with every decision captured in an audit history
  • Invoicing for fulfillment costs stays in the same system as the request

3. Smart Redactions

Redaction that suggests the work and leaves the judgment to you.

  • Access controls are applied before retrieval, so confidential or restricted material is never exposed to unauthorized users
  • Information that requires redaction is suggested to you; staff and counsel simply accept or deny
  • Every redaction is tracked and reasoned, reversible until release, with each disposition recorded through the review workflow
  • An audit log is produced documenting every decision, with staff and counsel making all final calls on withholding, redaction, and release
