FlashSummary

Turn a 500-page agenda packet into a two-page brief.

Council agenda packets can run 500+ pages per meeting. FlashSummary compresses them into a short overview with per-item summaries, key points, suggested questions, and guidance on which items matter most — so elected officials walk in prepared.

What it does

  • Compress a 500+ page agenda packet into a one- or two-page overview.
  • Get a plain-language summary of every agenda item, with the key points that matter.
  • Walk in with suggested questions to ask — and a read on which items are most important.
  • Summaries tuned to your community, using your governing body, strategic plan, and local context.

Who it's for

Elected officials — and the clerks and staff who prepare them for public meetings.

How it works

  1. Upload an agenda packet (PDF or Word) or paste a link to the published packet.
  2. FlashSummary parses it into individual agenda items and classifies each by type — consent calendar, for possible action, for discussion, and more — so you know what actually needs your attention.
  3. You get a per-item analysis (summary, key points, questions to ask) plus a whole-agenda overview that flags the items to focus on.

FlashSummary is the elected-official companion to FlashMemo, which helps staff write and sharpen the memos on the other side of the same meeting.
