citymeetings.nyc uses AI to make NYC council proceedings accessible to everyone using AI.
Since launching it last February, the site's traffic has grown to hundreds of visitors daily, over ten-thousand visits a month, and it is now used widely among professionals in NYC's government, lobbyists, trade associations, advocacy groups, and the media.
Vikram Oberoi, creator of citymeetings.nyc, will share:
- The impact and coverage the site has had to-date - How his approach changed so he could break down 5-20 hours of public proceedings comprehensively, same-day - How his tools work and how he uses AI to make citymeetings.nyc possible - Tips and takeaways for folks working on products that use AI
LLMs have the power to bring more transparency to unstructured government data, but they're tough to use well! Practitioners will come away with learnings they can use in their own projects and leaders will get a glimpse into what investing in using AI to navigate public records will require of them and their teams.
