HeyCity: Local Civic News

The decisions that shape your neighborhood are buried in agendas hundreds of pages long and recordings that run for hours. HeyCity reads them so you don't have to. HeyCity turns your city's public meetings into clear, scannable summaries ranked by how much they matter to your community. Not just city council, school board and planning commission, but the commissions and boards where much of it actually gets decided: parks and recreation, housing, police, public works, finance, transportation, utilities, arts and more. Follow the money, the votes, and the debates in minutes, not evenings. WHAT YOU GET • A feed of plain-language summaries from every covered meeting, sorted by date or by news rank • Coverage that goes past the headline meetings: council, planning and school board, plus the commissions that decide parks, housing, policing, public art, utilities and the city budget • Deep dives on the biggest stories: the background, the stakes, and what happens next • Topics that matter to you: budget, housing, schools, safety, environment, infrastructure, and more • Bookmarks to save items and find them later • A calendar view to browse meetings by date • Search across everything we've covered • An AI-hosted podcast every other week recapping the top stories in your city HOW IT WORKS HeyCity runs an automated pipeline powered by large language models. It ingests public notices, civic documents, meeting recordings, and official minutes, then writes summaries that are automatically checked against the source material before and after publication. Every summary carries an AI mark, links back to primary sources where available, and includes a one-tap way to report an error. Verified corrections are re-published with a versioned record of what changed. WHERE WE COVER HeyCity covers cities across California and adds more regularly.
