The before-you-buy checklist for any AI tool

Six questions to ask before you buy or renew any AI tool, free templates you can borrow, plus a California county that now reviews every AI vendor before it signs.

Prompt Local

A free weekly newsletter for the people running small government offices. Each week, one AI tool that fits a real job in a small government office, records requests, meeting minutes, permits, resident questions, that kind of work. I'll show you exactly how to put it to use, plus what to watch for so it doesn't bite you later. I also flag any new AI rules landing on offices like yours. That's it. No fluff, no sales pitch. Written by Scott Olsen, CGCIO, a former local-government CIO
