About GovGuard
Summary
GovGuard builds AI agents that automate Freedom of Information Act workflows for local government agencies. The platform routes incoming requests to the right department, searches across email and documents to surface responsive records, flags personally identifiable information and sensitive content for redaction with citations to statutory exemptions, and generates a ready-to-send response letter. It replaces the manual, line-by-line redaction and response-drafting work that public records clerks currently do by hand.
Go-to-market
Government agencies, specifically municipal public records offices, are the buyers. Sales are handled through direct contact, as the website directs prospective customers to a sales team rather than a self-serve signup.

Automating Government Workflows, starting with FOIA
GovGuard is building AI agents that automate government workflows, starting with FOIA requests. Today, public records teams still spend hours searching for responsive records and applying redactions. Many offices still redact sensitive information line by line with a sharpie. Local governments spend billions processing these requests, and if a city misses a legal deadline, it can be sued for failing to comply with public records law.
