01 · Agenda Builder

Agendas built in minutes, not afternoons.

Stop building agendas in Word. Vera drafts from your templates and past meetings. Staff submit items through the platform — no email chains. A readiness checklist tracks every attachment and deadline.

Vera drafts from your past meetings.

Vera knows your typical agenda structure and recurs items you commonly run. One click gets you a draft — you reorder, add, remove, and approve before anything goes out.

Staff submit items through the platform.

Assign items to staff members. They complete the description and attach documents directly in Senexus. No more digging through your inbox to assemble the packet.

Packet checklist tracks readiness.

Every item shows whether its description is complete, attachments uploaded, and deadline met. Publish automatically on your schedule — or manually when you're ready.

02 · Live Meeting Console

A console built for the person running the room.

The clerk advances through agenda items. Board members, the public, and the record all follow automatically. Every vote, motion, and note captured as it happens.

Board members follow automatically.

Board members see a stripped-down view of the current item — agenda item, description, and attachments — advancing as the clerk navigates. No controls, no confusion.

Roll call, motion, outcome — recorded as you go.

Roll Call, Voice Vote, or Without Objection. Per-member vote capture with Aye / Nay / Abstain. Passed, Failed, Tabled, or Withdrawn — all logged to the record in real time.

The public portal follows automatically.

The community sees what's being discussed, who voted how, and can access shared attachments — in real time, from any device. No app required.

Tabled motions routed instantly.

When a motion is tabled, Senexus immediately asks where to send it — any upcoming meeting or the pending backlog. Nothing gets lost in notes or email.

03 · Vera AI

The institutional memory every board wishes it had.

Vera knows your meeting history, your policy library, and your minutes. She drafts the agenda before the meeting and the minutes after. Ask her a question in plain language — she finds the answer.

Drafts the agenda.

Vera builds from your templates and past meetings. You review, reorder, and approve before anything goes out. Recurring items are remembered automatically.

Writes the minutes.

After the meeting, Vera writes narrative minutes from your live notes. Votes and attendance are already there — just review, approve, and publish when the board adopts them.

Searches your full record.

Ask a question in plain language. Vera surfaces the exact meeting, motion, or policy — with citations. No digging through PDFs.

Cites sources, every time.

Every answer includes the meeting date, resolution number, and vote tally. You always know exactly where an answer came from.

Draft minutes for tonight's meeting.
Done. I’ve drafted minutes from your live meeting notes. 4 motions, 3 votes, and 5 roll call entries are already populated. Two items need your review before I finalize.
Did the board approve the facilities budget last year?
Yes. At the February 12 regular session, the board approved Resolution 2024-008 — Facilities Capital Reserve Budget. The vote was 4–1 (Thornton dissenting). I can pull the motion text or the full minutes entry.
What does our policy say about executive session?
Policy 3.2 — Closed Sessions covers this. It references 5 ILCS 120/2 and lists the permitted topics: personnel, litigation, and real estate. Adopted March 2024. Want me to attach it to tonight’s agenda?

Policy 1.3 First ReadingReview needed

04 · Policy Library

Your policy library, connected to your agenda.

Draft, version, route for approval, and publish automatically when the board adopts. When a policy needs board action, add it to an upcoming agenda as a First Reading — the PDF attaches itself.

Full version history.

Every draft, every revision, every adoption date tracked automatically. Approved and pending status visible at a glance. Nothing gets lost between board cycles.

Add to agenda — PDF attaches automatically.

One click adds the policy as a First Reading to any upcoming meeting. The policy PDF attaches itself to the agenda item so board members can review before the meeting.

Publishes on adoption.

When the board votes to adopt, the policy publishes to the public portal automatically. Toggle off if you need to handle it manually.

Searchable by Vera.

Ask Vera what a policy says and she answers in plain language — with citations back to the policy text and the adoption meeting.

Follows live automatically.

During a meeting, the public portal advances with the clerk. Visitors see the current item, any shared attachments, and vote outcomes in real time.

When you publish a packet, it appears on the portal instantly. Agendas, attachments, and minutes all live at the same permanent URL.

The public portal is a simple web page. Anyone can access it from any device without creating an account or downloading anything.

Why Senexus

Built different. On purpose.

We built Senexus from the ground up for public boards. Here’s what that means in practice.

TopicSenexusThe typical experience

Pricing

Flat annual rate posted publicly. One price covers unlimited users, meetings, and documents. No sales call required to see a number.

"Contact us for a quote." Per-module pricing, per-user seats, or annual increases tied to enrollment.

Onboarding

Self-serve. Most clerks are running their first meeting within a few days, with no formal training.

Multi-day implementation, IT involvement, and staff training before the first meeting.

Agenda management

Staff submit items and attachments in the platform. No email chains. Built-in approval workflow moves the packet from draft to ready. Auto-publishes on your schedule, notifies the board, and handles mid-meeting additions, tabled items, and consent agenda pulls without missing a step.

Clerk assembles the agenda from emailed submissions and PDFs. Publishing, board notification, and any mid-meeting changes are separate manual steps.

AI assistance

Vera knows your meeting history, your policies, and your record. Answers are cited to the source.

Generic AI add-ons bolted on recently, with no access to your institutional history.

Minutes drafting

Vera writes narrative minutes after the meeting from your live clerk notes. Votes and attendance are already populated.

Blank template. Clerk fills it in manually after the fact from personal notes, or requires access to an audio or video recording.

Meeting console

Built around the clerk running the room. Advancing an item updates the board view and public portal automatically.

Document storage with a viewing layer. Clerk manages a separate display or PDF.

Mobile experience

A native app built for board members: agenda, packet, and live meeting view optimized for a phone or tablet.

A desktop interface squeezed into a mobile browser. Pinching and scrolling through PDFs to find the right page.

Policy management

Policies live in Senexus, versioned and searchable. One click to add a First Reading to an upcoming agenda.

Policies stored as PDFs in a folder structure or a separate system entirely.

Pricing

Public pricing, posted publicly.

Two plans. No “request a quote” theater. No per-user fees. No surprise renewals.
