Former Seattle council president launches CivicTide, an AI-agent site tracking City Hall

Former Seattle City Council president Sara Nelson launched CivicTide, a website using AI agents to track council legislation from introduction to final vote. Policy briefs summarize bills, explain stakes, and juxtapose backers' spin with the site's own analysis, linking to underlying ordinances and committee records; built-in tools let readers email councilmembers or post views. Commenter aronchick argues all government actions—meetings, emails, expenditures—should be fed into AI and relentlessly audited as an easy efficiency win.
