Website Builder

Describe the page you need, and the builder does the rest

Your clerk shouldn't need a web developer to post a leaf pickup schedule. The GovScale editor has an assistant built in, so anyone on your team can add or change a page by asking.

Plugins & Integrations

Start with the website, then add services as you grow

Most towns pay separate companies for the website, payments, 311, records requests, and alerts, each with its own login and renewal date. On GovScale, each one is a plugin. Try switching a few on.

For Residents

Residents shouldn't need to know which department to call

Your website becomes a front door that understands the question and finishes the job: filing the request, taking the payment, booking the inspection. It answers from your own pages and policies, and it knows when to bring in a person.

Oversight

Your staff can see and approve everything the AI does

Agents follow the same rules as your employees, and everything they do is written to a log your clerk can search and export.

Your staff approve
Each department decides what an agent can do on its own and what waits for a person.
Agents only see what they need
An agent has the same access as the role it works for. HR records stay with HR.
Everything is logged
Every draft, approval, and denial is saved with a time and a name, and you can export it.

Why Switch

How GovScale compares

Most government website providers were built when a town website was mostly a brochure. Today residents expect to pay, report, and apply online, and your staff need tools that make that easy.

Typical provider

Rebuilt by agents in minutes, reviewed by your team

Adding a page

A dated editor, or a ticket to the vendor

Describe it, review it, publish it

Accessibility

Annual audit and a remediation backlog

Checked automatically on every publish

Resident services

Separate vendors, logins, and contracts

Plugins on one platform and one account

A chatbot add-on, if any

Agents that finish tasks, with staff approval

Pricing

Bundled tiers and per-product renewals

FAQ

Questions we hear from city hall

The things clerks, managers, and IT directors usually ask us first.

Do we have to replace everything at once?

No. Most towns start with the website and add payments, 311, or meetings when they're ready. Each new piece works with the rest as soon as it's turned on.

What happens to our current website?

Agents copy your pages and documents in minutes and turn old scanned PDFs into accessible pages. When you launch, every old link redirects so residents' bookmarks keep working.

Is AI safe to use for government work?

Agents only see what their department allows. Anything published or sent to residents can require a staff member's approval, and every action is logged so you can show exactly what happened.

How much training will our staff need?

If your team can edit a document, they can edit the website. We train each department during setup, and staff can always ask the assistant to make a change for them.

Will it work for a community our size?

GovScale is built for towns of a few hundred people up to counties and state agencies. Pricing is based on your size and the services you use.

Request Access

Bring GovScale to your town

We're partnering with a small group of local governments, starting here in New Jersey. Tell the assistant about yours and it will put together your application, with a preview of your new site.
