The AI layer for government that stays inside the lines.
Auditable by design. Scoped by architecture. Safe for the data you can't afford to expose.

Generic AI wasn't built
for the way government works.
Records requests eat the day
Staff lose hours to public-records response drafting, policy lookups, and administrative writing that could be assisted — safely.
Answers scattered across documents
Policies, ordinances, and handbooks exist. Finding the right passage in the right document, on demand, is the bottleneck.
Generic AI is a poor fit
Consumer chatbots expose sensitive data and produce unreliable output. They aren't built to the audit, compliance, and records-retention bar public agencies work to.
AI that's accountable — because government has to be.
Every answer is grounded in your organization's own documents. Every action is logged. Every scope boundary is enforced by architecture, not policy.
- Grounded in your documents — no open internet
- Every question, answer, and refusal logged for records defense
- Deliberately outside CJIS, HIPAA, and systems-of-record scope
One secure AI layer for your organization
BrigadeAI is designed to work with your existing document environment and put a trustworthy assistant in the hands of every authorized staff member.
The capabilities below describe what the platform is designed to do. Availability varies by release — ask us what's live for your organization today.
Nova — private agent
Grounded conversations against your uploaded documents, with source citations and full audit logging on every exchange.
Document ingestion
PDF, Word, Excel, plain text, and OCR for images. CJI and PHI content refused on upload, before it ever reaches the model.
Ask your documents
Natural-language questions answered from your uploaded documents. Every retrieval and every response is logged.
Guardrails
Multi-layered, server-side enforcement — not client-side, not policy-only. Refusals are the intended behavior, not the failure state.
Audit trail
Tamper-evident, exportable, complete. Every interaction is a producible record from the moment it occurs.
Analytics
Usage patterns, content coverage, and audit summaries — visible to administrators for oversight and reporting.
A focused toolkit for internal staff
The capabilities of a modern AI platform — scoped deliberately to stay out of CJIS, out of transactional systems, and out of citizen-facing surfaces.

Descriptive markers, not marketing math
These are architectural facts about BrigadeAI, not performance claims. We do not publish invented percentages or unverified benchmarks.
Roles that carry the weight of government
BrigadeAI is built for the seats that are accountable for the risk and the record.
City managers & township administrators
Adopt AI with defensible boundaries. Present the audit trail to elected officials and the public with confidence.
IT directors
Deploy inside your own environment. Own the data. Own the audit. No unexpected integrations to transactional systems.
City attorneys & legal counsel
Review the policy configuration your team signs. Respond to records requests with tamper-evident evidence.
Records officers
Every AI interaction is a producible record from the moment it occurs. Exports are filterable and structured for legal use.
Department leadership
Faster policy lookups, drafting assistance, and internal reference — without opening a new exposure surface.
What we can say, precisely.
BrigadeAI is designed for the environments government operates in. We do not claim certifications we do not hold. Compliance posture in your specific environment is a joint responsibility we work through with your team.
Out of CJIS scope by design
Does not process Criminal Justice Information. Architecturally out of CJIS scope, not CJIS-certified.
PHI refused on upload
Does not process Protected Health Information. Upload scanning refuses PHI content before ingestion.
Deployable in FedRAMP environments
Not FedRAMP-authorized. Deployable within FedRAMP-authorized environments (Azure Government, AWS GovCloud) at customer discretion.
Designed to support open-records law
Audit trail designed to support disclosure obligations under Texas Government Code §552, Ohio Revised Code 149.43, and equivalent state statutes.
Adopt AI with the discipline your role requires.
BrigadeAI is available for evaluation with a small number of municipal and township partners. Contact us to discuss whether it fits your environment.
