DocketEcho

DocketEcho is a web app (with a lightweight mobile companion) that helps residents submit feedback and petitions that don’t disappear into a void. It aggregates public consultations, council agenda items, and agency dockets into a single place, then guides users to submit structured comments (with attachments) that match the exact format agencies require. After submission, it tracks status signals: meeting dates, agenda placement, staff responses, vote outcomes, and follow-up actions. The app also lets governments publish “response receipts” that map common themes to official answers, reducing repetitive email and improving transparency. This is a combination traditional + AI app: AI helps summarize long agenda packets, cluster similar comments, and generate plain-language explanations of what a docket actually means—without pretending to be legal advice. The goal is accountability: fewer performative petitions, more verifiable progress tracking.
