CommentKit

CommentKit helps everyday residents submit effective, specific public comments on local proposals (zoning changes, school policies, transportation plans). It pulls the meeting agenda item, summarizes the proposal in plain language, and guides the user through a short questionnaire (values, personal impact, preferred outcome). Then it drafts a structured comment with evidence prompts (links to sources, local data, personal story), tone controls, and length options that match typical submission rules. It also tracks deadlines, submission channels (email, portal, in-person), and provides a simple “receipt” log so users know what they sent and when. This is an AI + traditional workflow tool: AI accelerates comprehension and drafting, while templates and checklists keep it compliant and practical. Realistically, it won’t “fix democracy,” but it can reduce the friction that stops most people from participating.
