Process FOIA requests90% faster
AI-powered redaction software built for government agencies. Automatically detect and permanently remove PII from public records while maintaining transparency.
The challenge
FOIA backlogs are overwhelming
Government agencies face mounting public records requests with limited staff and tight deadlines
Request Backlogs
Manual redaction can take days or weeks per request, creating backlogs that violate statutory deadlines and erode public trust.
Average 30+ days per complex request
Privacy vs Transparency
Agencies must balance the public's right to information with the legal obligation to protect employee and citizen PII under privacy laws.
One mistake can lead to costly lawsuits
Limited Resources
FOIA officers are often overwhelmed with requests while handling other duties. Hiring more staff is rarely an option with tight budgets.
1 FOIA officer for 1000s of requests/year
Volume & Complexity
Requests can span thousands of pages of emails, reports, and records. Each document requires careful review for sensitive information.
Some requests exceed 10,000 pages
