When a records request asks about AI, answer from the record.

A California Public Records Act request can ask how county staff used AI. Verillian is the system of record that answers it, kept on the county's own servers.

Find the records the request names.

Search by person, device and date, open the conversations under the county's own key, and export what the request covers. The export is recorded too, under the name of the person who ran it.

Each record shows what the AI was given and what came back.

A planner asks AI to sort public comments on a draft plan. The record holds who asked, on which device, the request as it was sent, the reply, and what your policy decided. The record sits on the county's own servers, so it follows the county's own retention schedule.

The reply sorts the 48 comments into six themes, from traffic and parking at 14 to other at 3, and names traffic and parking the most common concern.
