Brandeis — AI for FOIABrandeis — AI for FOIA
California

Public records software that already knows California's law.

Brandeis ships with a statute profile for the California Public Records Act (CPRA) — the response clock, extension rules, exemption citations, and appeal language your AI agents and your staff work from on day one. The law is configuration, not a professional-services project.

10
calendar days to respond
Computed from receipt — weekends, holidays, and day type handled by the deadline math, not a spreadsheet.
+14
calendar days of extension
Notice required — the drafting agent writes it with the permitted reason cited.
4
seeded exemption citations
The exemption agent flags passages with California's own sections.
1
nightly deadline sweep
An agent watches every open request's clock, every night.
Exemptions, cited not vibed

The agents quote California, chapter and verse.

When an AI agent flags a passage for exemption, the flag carries the citation — and a named staffer confirms or dismisses every one. The starter profile seeds the most-cited sections:

Cal. Gov. Code § 7927.705

Deliberative process / public interest balancing

Cal. Gov. Code § 7927.700

Personal privacy

Cal. Gov. Code § 7923.600

Law enforcement investigation

Cal. Gov. Code § 7927.200

Attorney-client privilege

If a denial is appealed: Petition the superior court for a writ of mandate (Gov. Code § 7923.000). The appeal-packet agent assembles counsel's dossier straight from the audit log.

Reviewed, then live

Starter profile, finished with your counsel.

Public-records statutes are nuanced. The California profile ships as a reviewed starting point — day counts, sections, and appeal language your counsel confirms and tunes per agency before go-live. It is configuration to verify, never legal advice.
