Last updated October 1, 2026
If what you need is better minutes, you do not have to leave CivicPlus. Keep CivicPlus and add Govably for the minutes. Govably is the most accurate, most comprehensive AI minutes platform for local government, and it works alongside the CivicPlus setup you already have.
Paste your CivicPlus video link into Govably. It names every speaker with VoicePrint identification and remembers your board members from meeting to meeting, writes every motion out properly, and hands you finished minutes in your house style that you edit right in Govably. Your website, agendas and video stay exactly where they are. Details: Govably + CivicPlus.
CivicPlus covers a lot of ground for local governments. Govably does one job, the minutes, and plugs into the rest.
| What CivicPlus does | Keep it? | What Govably adds |
|---|---|---|
| Your municipal website | Yes | Finished minutes to post there, plus a public portal where residents click the transcript to jump to that moment in the recording. |
| Agendas and meeting management | Yes | Govably follows the meeting item by item and flags only the items it is unsure about, so you review exceptions, not the whole document. |
| Meeting video | Yes | Govably takes the CivicPlus video link directly. Nothing to download or re-upload. |
| Codification | Yes | Nothing changes. Govably does not touch your code. |
| Writing the minutes | Hand it to Govably | Every speaker named by VoicePrint, every motion written out with mover, seconder, motion language and each member's vote, and minutes in your house style, edited in a full document editor. |
The other AI minutes name clerks see most is ClerkMinutes, an off-the-shelf tool. You run a recording or transcript through it and get an AI draft back, then finish the minutes yourself. Govably is high-touch: you work with a Client Success Manager who has written minutes, VoicePrint remembers your board from meeting to meeting, and the platform finishes the minutes, motions and all.
