Everyone should have access to best-in-class transparency tools — a three-person records office as much as a big-city clerk. The full platform, every AI agent included, through your first thousand requests. After that, you pay for exactly three things.
No seats. No modules. No platform fee.
What's metered is the AI agents' work on your requests: intake triage, exemption flags, redaction suggestions, correspondence drafts, answer-box citations. Every agent action lands in the audit log, so the meter and the record are the same thing — you can always see exactly what you're paying for.
The documents in your archive — kept, published, and served to residents and their AI agents. Storage is the boring meter, and it should be: no per-page fees, no charge for searching or releasing what you already store.
Entirely optional. When your agency would rather hand off parts of the desk — a backlog blitz, publication of a high-demand series, go-live setup — our people do the work inside your deployment, with every action under their own name in your audit log.
The portal, the answer box, and the MCP endpoint are free to the public, always. Charging the asking side of transparency would defeat the point.
No per-seat licenses and no modules. Your whole office — and every AI agent working alongside it — runs on the same desk.
The statute profile, deadline math, and appeal language ship with the platform. The law is configuration, not an add-on.
Brandeis is self-contained by design: embedded database, local file storage, every external service — including the AI itself — opt-in behind an adapter. Run it on your own infrastructure with your own AI key and your data never leaves your building. Write to hello@brandeis.us and we'll set your agency up.
Create your records office in about a minute — your AI agent staff included, your first 1,000 requests on us.
