Mission

Convene exists to make public meetings understandable, accessible, and genuinely inclusive, without altering the public process itself. Our mission is to bridge the gap between government proceedings and the communities they serve by using advanced artificial intelligence to eliminate language, context, and procedural barriers. Convene is dedicated to ensuring every person can follow, understand, and engage with the decisions shaping their community.

The first generation of Convene transforms live and archived meetings with AI-driven translation and captioning in up to 100 languages, empowering every viewer to fully grasp the meeting discussion in real time.

Future generations will expand on this mission with Artificial Intelligence by providing users with real-time meeting information that is informative, contextual, and tailored for each user. Convene will surface live, topical insights drawn directly from agenda packets and staff reports, continuously
update speaker identification and agenda-item tracking, and offer an adaptive glossary of the specific government client terminology and procedures, and the workings of the democratic process itself.

Whether a viewer is brand new to public meetings, has some familiarity, or is highly experienced, Convene will adjust the level of detail and explanation to match each user defined profile.
