Why Municipalities Need a Different Kind of AI Meeting Solution
Swiss municipalities operate differently from typical companies.
In a municipality, it's not just about internal efficiency. It's about the rule of law, traceability, data protection, political responsibility, record keeping, resolutions, deadlines, public duties, and careful handling of sensitive information.
A municipal administration doesn't just hold "meetings." It conducts municipal council meetings, commission meetings, construction and planning meetings, school discussions, social discussions, internal coordination meetings, project groups, association meetings, conversations with citizens, and exchanges with the canton, schools, social services, public works, fire department, or external service providers.
Continuous information arises that must be correctly documented, stored, processed further, and remain traceable for years in some cases.
This is exactly where Meeting Metrics comes in.
Meeting Metrics is a Swiss AI solution for municipalities, cities, and public organizations that automatically creates structured minutes, tasks, resolutions, pending items, summaries, and reports from conversations – with Swiss German support, Swiss data hosting, optional on-premise installation, and personal support during implementation and data protection questions.
Summary: Why Meeting Metrics Is Relevant for Municipalities
Municipalities have many meetings but little time for follow-up.
Municipal clerks, administrative leaders, department heads, and caseworkers spend a lot of time preparing meetings, taking notes, creating minutes, formulating resolutions clearly, tracking tasks, and retrieving information later.
Meeting Metrics helps exactly there.
During the meeting, the focus can be more on the conversation. After the meeting, minutes, tasks, decisions, pending items, and summaries are automatically prepared. Through templates and context files, municipalities can adapt the results to their own minute structures.
The main benefit is not having "a transcript." The benefit is turning meetings into more quickly usable administrative work.
Meeting Metrics does not replace a municipal clerk or professional review. The solution supports responsible persons in preparation, structuring, and follow-up. Responsibility for the final minutes, legal classification, and political quality naturally remains with the municipality.
What Makes Meetings in Swiss Municipalities Special?
Municipal meetings are often more formal, sensitive, and diverse than typical business meetings.
In companies, a brief summary sometimes suffices. In municipalities, more is often needed.
Decisions must be traceable. Resolutions must be correctly formulated. Pending items must be clearly assigned. Agendas must be adhered to. Matters must be documented. Files must be stored in the correct specialized application or dossier. Personal data and particularly sensitive information must be handled carefully. Political, legal, and organizational responsibilities must be considered.
Additionally, many conversations take place in Swiss German. This is often a challenge for international AI note takers. For Swiss municipalities, it is everyday life.
Typical Roles in a Municipality
Meeting Metrics is not aimed at just one person in the administration. The benefit arises across various roles.
Municipal Clerk
The municipal clerk is often the central interface between politics, administration, the public, and record keeping. Many minutes, resolutions, agenda lists, pending items, and official documentation originate here.
Meeting Metrics can help process municipal council meetings, executive meetings, commission meetings, and internal coordination meetings faster.
Administrative or Executive Leadership
Many municipalities have administrative or executive leadership coordinating operational topics. This often involves personnel, finances, projects, IT, communication, schools, infrastructure, and political matters.
Meeting Metrics can create tasks, decisions, open points, and management updates from these meetings.
Department Heads
Construction administration, resident services, finance, social services, schools, legal office, utilities, security, and culture have different types of meetings. Meeting Metrics can use different templates depending on the department and structure results specifically.
Caseworkers
Caseworkers also conduct conversations with citizens, external partners, or other offices. Especially in complex cases, a clean conversation summary can help maintain an overview.
Municipal Council and Commissions
Municipal councils and commissions work with agendas, motions, resolutions, discussions, and pending items. Meeting Metrics can help create a structured basis for minutes, resolution excerpts, or further processing more quickly from discussions.
Schools, Associations, and Affiliated Organizations
Many municipalities work closely with schools, associations, regional organizations, social services, elderly institutions, or external service providers. Meetings also arise there that must be properly documented.
Typical Meeting Types in Municipalities
Municipal Council Meetings
Municipal council meetings are particularly minute-intensive. They involve matters, motions, resolutions, responsibilities, deadlines, and often sensitive or politically relevant topics.
Meeting Metrics can create a structured basis from the discussion: agenda item, facts, discussion, decision, task, responsibility, and deadline.
Administrative Executive Meetings
Many municipalities have operational leadership meetings coordinating resources, projects, personnel, communication, IT, finances, and ongoing matters.
Meeting Metrics can create tasks, pending items, decisions, and management updates from these.
Commission Meetings
Construction commission, school board, social commission, finance commission, utilities commission, or planning commissions have different requirements. Some meetings are political, others technical or professional.
With individual templates, Meeting Metrics can use different structures depending on the commission.
Construction and Planning Meetings
Construction and planning meetings often involve applications, deadlines, objections, responsibilities, project statuses, planning questions, and external experts.
Precise tasks, open points, and decisions are especially important here.
School and Education Discussions
School boards, school management, school administration, and external offices conduct many conversations. Sensitive information may be involved.
For such meetings, data protection, access rights, clear templates, and careful follow-up are crucial.
Social and Case Discussions
Social services and social specialist offices work with particularly sensitive information. Here, an AI solution must be introduced very consciously.
Not every conversation is suitable for AI minute-taking. Where Meeting Metrics is used, purpose, legal basis, access, data processing, and retention must be clearly regulated.
Project Meetings
Municipalities continuously conduct projects: school construction, IT migration, local planning, energy, mobility, public works, communication, digitization, or inter-municipal cooperation.
Meeting Metrics can automatically generate tasks, risks, decisions, open points, and status reports from project meetings.
Conversations with Citizens
Not every citizen conversation needs to be recorded. But for complex discussions, a clean summary can help if consent, transparency, and data protection are properly regulated.
Why Swiss German Is Important for Municipalities
In many Swiss municipalities, not only High German is spoken.
Internal meetings, commission discussions, project meetings, or conversations with external partners often take place in Swiss German. Participants often switch between dialect, High German, technical language, and administrative language.
This is difficult for international tools. Many recognize German but not necessarily Swiss German, local terms, municipal structures, or administrative formulations.
Meeting Metrics is tailored to the Swiss market and supports Swiss German. This is especially important for municipalities because the solution must understand not only individual words but also context: agendas, resolutions, pending items, responsibilities, departments, municipal council, commissions, and administrative language.
Data Protection: What Municipalities Must Consider with AI Meeting Tools
Data protection is not a side issue for municipalities. It is a fundamental prerequisite.
Municipalities process personal data within the scope of public duties. Depending on the canton, cantonal data protection laws or information and data protection laws for public bodies apply.
For municipalities, it is therefore important:
Which data is recorded? For what purpose is it processed? Who has access? Where is the data stored? Who is the data processor? What documents exist regarding technical and organizational measures, order processing agreements, subprocessors, and data flows? How long are audio, transcripts, and results stored? How are affected persons informed? Which meeting types are suitable for AI support at all?
Meeting Metrics can support municipalities here because the solution is designed for Swiss data hosting, enterprise setups with processing in Switzerland, local models, on-premise options, and personal support for data protection and procurement questions.
Swiss Data Processing, Local Models, and On-Premise Option
Meeting Metrics stores data in Switzerland. For enterprise customers, setups with processing in Switzerland and local models are possible.
For municipalities with particularly high requirements for data protection, information security, or internal IT guidelines, an individual enterprise setup up to an on-premise installation can also be considered. This allows Meeting Metrics to be operated in the municipality's own infrastructure or a specifically defined environment if needed.
This is especially relevant for municipalities, cities, or public organizations that want to document sensitive meetings and require maximum control over data flows, access, processing, and operation.
Depending on requirements, different operating models can be distinguished.
Swiss Data Hosting
Data is stored in Switzerland. This is already an important basic requirement for many municipalities.
Swiss Processing in Enterprise Setup
For more sensitive use cases, processing in Switzerland can also be relevant.
Local Models
For particularly high requirements, local models can be considered to gain more control over processing.
On-Premise Installation
For municipalities, cities, and public organizations with particularly high requirements, an on-premise installation can be considered. This allows the solution to be operated in the own or a specifically defined infrastructure.
Typical Data Protection Requirements of a Municipality
The following points are typically relevant for using Meeting Metrics in municipalities.
Order Processing Agreement
If an external provider processes data on behalf of a municipality, a clean contractual basis is needed. This includes purpose, scope, instructions, technical and organizational measures, subprocessors, deletion, confidentiality, and control rights.
Technical and Organizational Measures
Municipalities must be able to trace how data is protected. This includes access controls, encryption, role and rights concepts, logging, backup, deletion, secure transmission, and internal processes.
Data Location and Processing
For municipalities, it is important whether data is stored in Switzerland and whether processing is also possible in Switzerland. For particularly sensitive meetings, an enterprise setup with Swiss processing, local models, or an on-premise installation can be relevant.
An on-premise installation can be especially sensible if a municipality, city, or public organization has very high requirements for data control, internal security policies, or regulatory requirements. In such cases, Meeting Metrics can be set up so that data flows, processing, and access are more strongly controlled within the own or defined infrastructure.
Transparency Towards Participants
Participants should know if a meeting is recorded or processed with AI. Depending on meeting type, canton, and internal regulations, this can be designed differently.
Purpose Limitation and Proportionality
Not every meeting must be recorded. Municipalities should define for which meeting types Meeting Metrics is used and for which not.
Retention and Deletion
Audio, transcripts, and result documents should not be stored longer than necessary. At the same time, minutes and business-relevant documents must be correctly archived according to record keeping and archiving rules.
Record Keeping, GEVER, and Minute Storage
Municipalities do not work only with notes. They work with dossiers, matters, files, resolutions, and archiving.
This is a central difference from many companies.
In public administration, business-relevant documents must be traceably archived. GEVER systems and specialized applications play an important role.
For Meeting Metrics, this means: the AI does not just create a document that remains somewhere. The added value arises when minutes, resolutions, tasks, or summaries can be integrated into existing municipal workflows.
Software Solutions Frequently Used by Swiss Municipalities
Swiss municipalities work with a variety of specialized applications. Depending on canton, municipality size, and IT strategy, systems differ greatly.
Meeting Metrics can become valuable where minutes, tasks, resolutions, or summaries are to be transferred into existing systems.
CMI / Axioma
CMI or CMI Axioma is relevant in many administrations for business management, dossier management, authority administration, tasks, contacts, archiving, and digital administration.
An integration with Meeting Metrics could help in the future to transfer meeting results, minutes, resolutions, or tasks more structured into dossiers or matters.
innosolv / innosolvcity
innosolv is strongly present in the Swiss municipal market, especially around resident, subject, and administrative data.
For Meeting Metrics, innosolv would be less a classic minute storage but relevant when meetings with personal, resident, or subject data are embedded in administrative processes.
Abraxas / Loganto
Abraxas offers specialized solutions for federal, cantonal, municipal, tax, police, traffic, school, and education. Loganto is relevant in various municipalities for resident and administrative processes.
For municipalities with Abraxas environments, integration or structured export can be relevant if information from meetings flows into specialized processes.
Dialog / GemoWin
Dialog offers software and cloud solutions for municipal and city administrations. Depending on setup, these include basic modules, tasks, document management, persons, workflows, and other administrative solutions.
Meeting Metrics could be especially relevant here for tasks, documents, workflows, and structured storage of meeting results.
Abacus AbaGovernment
Abacus offers AbaGovernment as a comprehensive solution for municipalities, cities, and cantons.
For municipalities heavily using Abacus, exports or integrations towards tasks, documents, finance, HR, or internal workflows can be interesting.
GEVER, DMS, and Archiving Systems
Besides the mentioned systems, municipalities often use GEVER, DMS, and archiving solutions. These systems are particularly relevant for Meeting Metrics because minutes and resolutions must be correctly archived there.
Microsoft 365, Teams, SharePoint, and Outlook
Many municipalities use Microsoft 365 for email, calendar, documents, Teams meetings, and collaboration. Meeting Metrics can interact with existing workflows here, for example via exports, email, share links, storage processes, or future integrations.
Other Specialized Systems
Depending on the municipality, additional specialized solutions for construction, schools, social services, resident control, finance, public works, taxes, fees, spatial planning, CRM, website, form management, or e-government portals are used.
The advantage of Meeting Metrics is that the solution does not try to replace these specialized applications. It creates usable results from conversations that can then be transferred into the right systems.
Where Meeting Metrics Could Integrate
Meeting Metrics can create added value for municipalities on several levels.
Export to GEVER or DMS
Minutes, resolutions, summaries, or tasks could be exported in a structured way and stored in GEVER or DMS systems.
Task Transfer to Existing Systems
Tasks from meetings could be transferred to existing task or workflow systems. Relevant here are CMI tasks, Microsoft Planner, Teams, Outlook, Jira, Abacus workflows, or other internal tools.
Minute Templates by Meeting Type
Municipalities can use different templates:
Municipal council meeting
Commission meeting
Construction and planning meeting
School board
Executive management
Project meeting
Social discussion
Citizen conversation
Association
Inter-municipal working group
Automatic Resolution and Pending Item List
Meeting Metrics can help extract resolutions, tasks, responsibilities, deadlines, and open points from meetings.
Storage by Agenda Items
Meeting results can be structured by agenda items. This is especially important for municipal council, commissions, and formal meetings.
AI Chat About Past Meetings
Municipalities could later ask questions like:
What was discussed last quarter about the school building project?
What open points exist regarding the local planning revision?
What pending items does the construction administration have from recent meetings?
What decisions were made about energy supply?
Which citizen concerns were repeatedly mentioned in recent meetings?
This saves time because information no longer lies only in individual minutes, emails, or personal notes.
Use Cases for Meeting Metrics in Municipalities
1. Faster Minute-Taking for Municipal Council Meetings
Municipal council meetings generate a lot of follow-up work. Meeting Metrics can automatically prepare agenda items, discussions, resolutions, tasks, and pending items.
The final minutes naturally remain the municipality's responsibility. But the AI provides a significantly better starting point.
2. Structuring Commission Meetings
Commissions often work part-time or with limited resources. Meeting Metrics can help document discussions cleanly and record tasks clearly.
3. Documenting Construction Projects
Construction projects involve many participants, deadlines, and decisions. Meeting Metrics can summarize project meetings, extract open points, and prepare status reports.
4. Relieving Executive Management
Administrative leaders can follow up internal leadership meetings more efficiently. Decisions, tasks, and pending items are automatically prepared.
5. Documenting School and Education Meetings
School organizations conduct many meetings with high sensitivity. With clear data protection rules, templates, and access concepts, Meeting Metrics can help summarize relevant results cleanly.
6. Improving Inter-Municipal Cooperation
Many topics are handled regionally or inter-municipally: fire department, water, wastewater, energy, traffic, schools, social services, or digitization.
Meeting Metrics can help document joint meetings better and record tasks across organizational boundaries.
7. Summarizing Citizen Conversations
For complex concerns, Meeting Metrics can help summarize a conversation cleanly – provided transparency, consent, and data protection are regulated.
8. Reducing Knowledge Loss
When employees change, much implicit knowledge is often lost. Meeting Metrics helps make knowledge from conversations more findable.
Economic Benefits: What Meeting Metrics Concretely Brings to a Municipality
The economic benefit of Meeting Metrics does not arise from replacing people but from better support in everyday life.
Municipal clerks, administrative leaders, and secretariats remain professionally responsible. Meeting Metrics helps reduce repetitive follow-up work, provide drafts faster, capture tasks and resolutions more structured, and make meeting knowledge easier to find.
This is especially important in municipalities because workloads increase, skilled workers are scarce, and many administrations operate with limited resources.
Example Calculation: Medium-Sized Swiss Municipality
Consider a medium-sized Swiss municipality with about 5,000 to 10,000 inhabitants.
Typical meeting volume per month:
Municipal council meetings
Administrative executive meetings
Commission meetings
Construction and project meetings
School or education meetings
Internal coordination meetings
Exchanges with external service providers or associations
In practice, this can quickly result in 15 to 30 minute-relevant meetings per month. Not every meeting requires formal minutes, but many need at least a clean summary, task list, resolution overview, or pending item list.
If currently only 30 to 90 minutes of follow-up per meeting are needed, this already represents a significant effort. For formal meetings like municipal council, commissions, or project management, the effort can be much higher.
Meeting Metrics does not completely eliminate this effort. That would not be the right claim. Professional review, editorial quality, legal classification, and final approval remain with the municipality.
But the starting point improves significantly.
Instead of starting from scratch, municipal clerks, secretariats, or department heads receive a structured basis:
Agenda structure
Summary of the discussion
Draft resolution
Pending item list
Tasks with responsibilities
Open points
Next steps
Management update
Project status
Searchable meeting knowledge
What Does This Mean Concretely?
If a municipality saves on average 30 minutes of follow-up per meeting for 20 relevant meetings per month, this results in 10 hours of relief per month.
If for more complex meetings an average of 60 minutes is saved, it is already 20 hours per month.
This time can be used where it is more valuable: for review, quality assurance, citizen concerns, project work, internal coordination, preparation of political matters, or leadership.
The benefit is thus not to replace people. The benefit is to relieve qualified employees from repetitive raw work and give them more time for professionally demanding tasks.
More Quality Instead of Just Less Effort
The economic benefit is not only reflected in hours.
Meeting Metrics can also improve the quality of follow-up:
Minutes are available faster.
Resolutions are prepared more structured.
Pending items are less likely to be lost.
Tasks are more clearly assigned.
Discussions can be better traced.
Knowledge remains findable across meetings.
New employees find context faster.
Project statuses are easier to reconstruct.
Especially for municipal council, commissions, project management, and administrative leadership, this can noticeably improve everyday work.
Everyday Life in a Municipality: Why Time Savings Matter
Municipalities are under pressure.
Tasks increase, demands for digitization rise, skilled workers are scarce, and many administrations must operate with limited resources.
At the same time, expectations remain high: citizens want quick answers, municipal councils need clean bases, projects must be documented, data protection must be observed, and political decisions must remain traceable.
Meeting Metrics relieves where particularly much manual work arises: in meetings and their follow-up.
According to an internal user survey from Q1 2026 with 100 Meeting Metrics users, Meeting Metrics saves on average about 25 minutes per meeting hour. For executive and municipal council meetings, up to 75 percent time savings are possible depending on the starting point.
For municipalities, this means: less time for note-taking, raw minutes, and follow-up – more time for review, implementation, citizen concerns, and leadership.
Which Meetings Are Particularly Suitable?
Meeting Metrics is particularly suitable for meetings where a concrete result is needed after the conversation.
These include municipal council meetings, executive meetings, commission meetings, project meetings, construction and planning meetings, school and education meetings, inter-municipal working groups, association meetings, internal coordination meetings, conversations with service providers, workshops, interviews, and citizen conversations with clear consent.
Less suitable are meetings where very sensitive personal data would be processed without clear legal basis, consent, or defined purpose. Especially social, personnel, or health data must be handled very carefully.
Why Municipalities Don't Need a Generic AI Note Taker Solution
Many AI note takers are built for sales, recruiting, or remote teams.
Municipalities have different requirements.
A sales team may need conversation summaries and CRM updates. A municipality needs agendas, resolutions, pending item lists, dossier capability, data protection, record keeping, and traceable responsibility.
An international tool might understand "meeting summary." A municipality needs:
Resolution minutes
Pending item list
Agenda structure
Facts
Considerations
Resolution
Task
Responsible office
Deadline
Storage note
Confidentiality level
Further procedure
Meeting Metrics is therefore not just an AI note taker but a solution that can adapt to the working methods of Swiss organizations.
Introduction in the Municipality: Test First, Then Roll Out Cleanly
The use of AI in a municipality should not be rushed.
Therefore, a pragmatic, controlled entry is recommended. Municipalities can first test Meeting Metrics in a clearly defined scope, assess quality, and then decide how to roll out sensibly.
1. Test Enterprise for Two Weeks
A municipality can initially test Meeting Metrics for two weeks in the enterprise setup. This phase is not about immediately switching all meetings but about realistically checking quality.
Typical test meetings can be:
an executive meeting
an internal project meeting
a commission meeting
a construction or planning appointment
a less sensitive municipal council matter
a workshop or coordination meeting
This way, the municipality quickly sees how well transcription, Swiss German, summarization, tasks, resolutions, and templates work.
2. Convince Yourself of the Quality
After the first meetings, the municipality can check:
How well does Meeting Metrics understand Swiss German?
How useful is the summary?
How well are tasks recognized?
How well do the results fit the municipality's own minute structure?
Which templates need adjustment?
Which meeting types are particularly suitable?
Which meeting types should be consciously excluded?
This phase is important so that Meeting Metrics is not evaluated theoretically but based on real meetings from everyday municipal life.
3. Optimize Templates Together
Then the most important templates can be adjusted.
For example:
Municipal council meeting
Commission meeting
Executive meeting
Project meeting
Construction meeting
School board
Association
Pending item list
Resolution overview
Management update
The better the template, the better the result. Meeting Metrics supports municipalities in adopting existing minute structures and preparing them sensibly for AI.
4. Clarify Data Protection and Operating Model
In parallel, data protection and IT requirements should be clarified.
This includes:
Order processing agreement
Technical and organizational measures
Subprocessors
Data location
Swiss processing
Retention and deletion
Access rights
Information obligations
Operating model
Local models
On-premise option
For particularly sensitive use cases, it can be checked whether an enterprise setup with Swiss processing, local models, or on-premise installation makes sense.
5. Onboarding On-Site
Personal onboarding is especially valuable for municipalities.
Meeting Metrics can conduct on-site onboarding if needed. This is not only about operating the software but also practical tips and tricks from everyday use.
For example:
Which meetings are suitable for the start?
How to inform participants properly?
How to start and stop recordings correctly?
How to use context files and agenda lists?
How to create better templates?
How to efficiently review AI results?
How to formulate resolutions clearly?
How to organize team folders and access rights?
How to avoid unnecessary data retention?
How to work with tasks, pending items, and AI chat?
The goal is not just to show the software but for the municipality to quickly find a secure, accepted, and meaningful working process.
6. Gradual Rollout
After the pilot, Meeting Metrics can be rolled out step by step.
A sensible order can be:
first executive and project meetings
then commissions and construction/planning meetings
then selected municipal council meetings
later schools, associations, or other departments
if needed, particularly sensitive areas only after additional review
This keeps the introduction controlled, and the municipality can gain experience before adding more areas.
Example: How a Workflow in a Municipality Could Look
Before the meeting, the municipal clerk uploads the agenda or relevant context documents.
During the meeting, Meeting Metrics runs in the background via the desktop app or, for physical meetings, via the mobile app.
After the meeting, Meeting Metrics automatically creates a structured summary by agenda items. Tasks, resolutions, open points, and possible formulation suggestions for the minutes are added.
The municipal clerk reviews, corrects, and finalizes the minutes. Then they are stored in the correct system, for example in GEVER, DMS, CMI, Axioma, or another specialized solution.
Later, the administration can ask the AI chat which decisions have already been made on a project or which pending items are still open.
Benefits for Swiss Municipalities
Less Manual Minute Work
The AI prepares minutes, tasks, and resolutions. This saves time in follow-up.
Support Instead of Replacement
Meeting Metrics supports municipal clerks, administrative leaders, and secretariats with raw work. Professional review, editorial quality, and final responsibility remain with the municipality.
Better Meeting Quality
Participants can focus more on the discussion instead of taking notes in parallel.
More Traceability
Decisions, tasks, and pending items are recorded more structured.
Faster Availability
Draft minutes, pending item lists, or summaries can be available faster. This helps municipal councils, commissions, project management, and administration.
Swiss German Support
Meeting Metrics is tailored to the Swiss market and understands Swiss German as well.
Swiss Data Hosting and On-Premise Option
Data is stored in Switzerland. For enterprise customers, setups with processing in Switzerland, local models, or on-premise installation are possible. This is especially relevant for municipalities with high requirements for data protection, information security, and control over sensitive meeting data.
Individual Templates
Municipalities can map their own minute structures and meeting types.
Personal Support
Introduction, rollout, templates, and data protection questions can be clarified together.
Onboarding On-Site
If needed, Meeting Metrics can accompany municipalities on-site and provide practical tips for meeting types, templates, data protection, recording processes, and internal use.
No Visible Bots
Meeting Metrics runs in the background via desktop or mobile app. This is especially pleasant for confidential meetings.

Conclusion: AI Minutes for Municipalities Must Fit the Administration
Swiss municipalities do not need a generic AI note taker solution.
They need a solution that understands everyday administration: meetings, agendas, resolutions, pending items, data protection, record keeping, Swiss German, existing specialized applications, and the special responsibility of public bodies.
Meeting Metrics supports municipalities in documenting meetings more efficiently, preparing minutes faster, recording tasks and resolutions better, and making knowledge from conversations usable in the long term.
The main difference is not in transcription.
It's about what happens after the meeting.
With Meeting Metrics, conversations become minutes, tasks, resolutions, reports, and reusable administrative knowledge. For particularly sensitive use cases, besides Swiss data hosting and Swiss processing, local models and on-premise setups are also possible.
Secure, structured, and suitable for Swiss municipalities.
Ready for Conversations Instead of Minutes?
With Meeting Metrics, you can focus on the meeting again. Notes, minutes, tasks, resolutions, and reports are created automatically in the background.
Whether municipal council meeting, commission meeting, project meeting, school board, executive meeting, or physical conversation on-site: Meeting Metrics runs via desktop and mobile apps on the devices you already use.
Municipalities can test Meeting Metrics for two weeks in the enterprise setup, evaluate real meetings, convince themselves of the quality, and then roll out step by step. On-site onboarding is available on request – including tips on templates, data protection, meeting types, recording processes, and rollout.
