Brandeis — AI for FOIABrandeis — AI for FOIA
New York

Public records software that already knows New York's law.

Brandeis ships with a statute profile for the New York Freedom of Information Law (FOIL) — 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.

5
business days to respond
Computed from receipt — weekends, holidays, and day type handled by the deadline math, not a spreadsheet.
+20
business days of extension
Notice required — the drafting agent writes it with the permitted reason cited.
3
seeded exemption citations
The exemption agent flags passages with New York's own sections.
1
nightly deadline sweep
An agent watches every open request's clock, every night.
Exemptions, cited not vibed

The agents quote New York, 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:

N.Y. Pub. Off. Law § 87(2)(b)

Unwarranted privacy invasion

N.Y. Pub. Off. Law § 87(2)(e)

Law enforcement

N.Y. Pub. Off. Law § 87(2)(g)

Intra-agency materials

If a denial is appealed: Administrative appeal within 30 days; then Article 78 proceeding. (30-day appeal window — on the clock too.) 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 New York 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.
