Claude Code powers a local meeting search tool for 2,400 cities
A solo maker used Claude Code to build a service that makes local government meetings easier to find and understand across more than 2,400 US and Canadian cities. Local meetings cover everyday decisions like zoning, budgets, water rates, and road contracts, but residents often have to watch long meetings or read very large PDFs to know what happened. mytown.theboringparts.com gathers council, board, and meetings and turns agendas into plain-English summaries.
It currently includes more than 60,000 meetings and 45,000 AI-written briefs. The system connects to 11 government meeting platforms, including Legistar, CivicPlus, Granicus, BoardDocs, and IQM2, by using a custom adapter for each one because cities use different software and often do not offer a usable API. It also includes , weekly AI roundups for each city, a related federal site, and meeting video made with Whisper on a 5090 .
Each summary links back to the original government document so readers can check the source directly.
