Let’s reinvent local news.

One platform connecting residents, councillors, community groups and local businesses in real time — powered by AI.

The current situation

Council projects, resident initiatives, community events, offers from local traders… Yet without the right tools, much of this richness goes under the radar. Traditional channels do inform, but they don’t harness the power of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to unlock the full potential of our community.​

  • Put council and community action in the spotlight — council services and residents’ initiatives deserve automated, targeted promotion powered by AI—so the right updates reach the right people at the right time.​

  • Boost local visibility  local businesses, charities and community groups can rely on intelligent distribution that recommends their content to the most relevant audiences across the borough/district.​

  • Create real synergies – by automatically connecting events, people and needs, AI multiplies opportunities for collaboration between the council, community organisations and local traders.​

  • Spark participation — when information flows better, more residents get involved—from consultations and surveys to volunteering and attendance at local events—strengthening the social fabric of our neighbourhoods.​
