The problem

Why residents can't find what they need from local councils

01

Answers buried in the website

The answer is on your site somewhere, deep in a page or a PDF. Residents give up searching and contact customer service instead.

02

The same questions, all day

Bin days, pet registration, parking permits, rates due dates. Officers answer them again and again while complex cases wait.

03

Demand doesn't stop at 5pm

Plenty of residents only get time to look things up at night or on weekends, after the counter has closed for the day.

04

Not everyone reads English

Multilingual communities miss out when information exists only in English, and translating every page is out of reach.

Answered in seconds, day and night

What residents ask local councils

owns.ai answers questions like these from your own website and the answers you add - instantly, in the resident's own language, with a link to the page it used. When your site doesn't cover something, it says so and offers the next step.

  • What day is my bin collected?
  • How do I register my dog?
  • Do I need a permit for a fence?
  • When are my rates due?
  • How do I book a hard rubbish collection?
  • What are the library opening hours?
  • How do I apply for a parking permit?
  • Where is the tip and what does it cost?
  • How do I report a pothole?
  • Can I hire the community hall?

The benefits

How owns.ai helps local councils

One clear answer, not a list of links

Residents ask in plain words and get the answer from your published pages, with a link to the source so they can check it themselves.

Replies in the resident's language

Someone asks in Vietnamese, Arabic or Greek and gets an answer in that language, drawn from your English content. No translated copies to maintain.

Requests become tracked tickets

Missed bins, broken streetlights, a noise complaint - the assistant collects the details and opens a numbered ticket your team can update and answer by email.

Honest when the site is silent

If your pages don't cover something, it says so and points to the right contact instead of guessing. It never decides eligibility or approves anything.

See what residents can't find

Knowledge Gaps lists the questions your website couldn't answer, so your web team knows which pages to write or fix next.

Staff give the same answers

Customer service officers ask the Team Assistant or a private council AI app, built from your site and internal procedures, for consistent answers at the counter.

Questions

owns.ai for local councils: your questions, answered.

Plans and limits are on the pricing page.

See pricing

Anything your published website covers: waste and recycling, permits, fees, facilities, events, opening hours and how to reach the right team. Each answer comes with a link to the source page.

No. It shares what your eligibility pages say and links to them, but it never decides whether someone qualifies. For a decision, it points them to the application form or your customer service team.

No. It doesn't connect to council systems or see resident records. It explains where to check, takes the resident's details if they want help, and can open a ticket for your team.

Yes - talk to our team and we'll work through your requirements with you. In the product today, public answers come only from your published content, an allowed-domains list controls where the assistant runs, private documents are never used in public answers, and internal apps have access controls.

Build a free pilot from your public website in a few minutes and test it on a preview page with your own staff. When you're ready to discuss scale, plans and procurement, talk to our team.
