Public Records Request Agent

Problem

A public records request carries a statutory deadline and lands on a clerk who also does four other jobs. Searching means asking departments to look through their own email and drives, and redaction is done by hand under time pressure - which is where the incidents happen.

Solution

An agent that intakes and classifies the request, runs the search across connected systems with a log of what it searched, proposes redactions with the exemption cited for each, and shows a reviewer exactly what will be released before it goes.
