§ 01The problem

Open meetings. Buried answers.

Your fiscal court sets the budget, awards road contracts and votes on zoning, jails and ambulance service. It does all of it in public — in meetings that run for hours and get posted as one long video with no index.

2½hours

How long a fiscal court meeting can run. The five minutes you care about are in there — somewhere.

637meetings

Recorded meetings indexed so far across six counties, each linked to its video.

9,956motions

Motions recorded with who moved, who seconded and the outcome — from the video and, where published, the official minutes.

So we built the index the record never had. ↓

§ 02How it works

From gavel to searchable.

Every day, a pipeline checks each county’s video source, picks up new meetings, and turns hours of talk into something you can search, skim and cite.

Order of business

Regular session of the index

In session daily · Open to the public

  1. I.

    Call to order

    Video

    The court meets. The county, a local radio station or a news outlet records it and posts it on YouTube.

  2. II.

    Recording collected

    Daily

    Once a day, the pipeline checks every source channel for new meetings and fetches the captions.

  3. III.

    Transcript indexed

    Search

    The transcript is cut into short passages, each tied to its start time — searchable by word and by meaning.

  4. IV.

    Minutes drafted

    AI

    AI reads the whole meeting and writes the summary, the agenda, and every motion with its outcome.

  5. V.

    Timestamps verified

    Checked

    A timestamp only becomes a link after it’s matched against the transcript. No guessing.

  6. VI.

    Adjournment

    Live

    The meeting is on the site — usually within a day of the video going up.

§ 03Four ways in

Four ways into a two-hour meeting.

Skip to the part that matters to you. Every path ends in the same place: the second it was said, on video.

01 — Keyword search

Search by the word.

Type what you heard — a road, a vendor, a program. Every match is highlighted in the transcript with its timestamp.

02 — Semantic search

Search by meaning.

People don’t talk in keywords. Results match what was meant, not only the words that were used.

03 — Summaries

Skim it in two minutes.

Each meeting page has a summary, the agenda, and the motions and outcomes — items with a verified time link to their moment.

04 — Ask a question

Ask in plain English.

Get a short answer written from the transcripts and minutes. Every claim carries a citation that jumps to the source.

§ 04The roll call

Every motion. Every outcome. On the record.

Who made the motion, who seconded it and whether it passed — pulled from the video and, where the county publishes them, the official minutes.

§ 06Ground rules

The video is always the record.

Captions are automatic. Summaries are written by AI. Both can get things wrong — so the whole site is built to send you back to the source.

  1. Every link is checked.

    A timestamp is shown as a link only after it’s verified against the transcript.

  2. One click to the source.

    Results, summaries and answers all point to the moment on video or the page of the official minutes.

  3. Independent.

    Not operated by, or affiliated with, any county government.

  4. Free. No account.

    Search and read without signing up. Questions have a fair daily limit to keep costs in check.

§ 07FAQ

Questions from the floor.

The short version: it’s free, it’s independent, and the video always wins.

Which counties are covered?

Breckinridge, Bullitt, Daviess, Grayson, Hardin and Ohio counties in Kentucky. Coverage grows one county at a time.

Where do the recordings come from?

Each county’s meetings are recorded and posted publicly on YouTube — by the county itself, a local radio station, or a local news outlet. For some meetings without video, the county’s official minutes are used instead.

How accurate is it?

Transcripts are YouTube’s automatic captions and summaries are written by AI, so mistakes happen. That’s why every result links to the moment on video. For anything that matters, watch it and confirm it yourself — it’s one click away.

How fast do new meetings show up?

The pipeline runs every day. A new meeting is usually searchable within a day of its video going up.

Does it cost anything?

No. Search, summaries and questions are free, with no account. The question feature has a daily limit so the running costs stay predictable.

Who runs this?

An independent, public-service project. It is not operated by, or affiliated with, any county government.
