About this project
The AI-generated summary titles featured on this page represent our first public use of generative AI on Boston.gov. Using Google’s large language model, Gemini 1.5 Pro, we have used docket information to generate titles for the past 16 years of City Council roll call votes. Though still experimental, we hope the summary titles located in the section below will help people quickly review and understand key historical votes by the Boston City Council.
On this page, you can view more than 1,100 AI-generated titles, but please remember, there may be errors! While we think the summary titles are ready for an experimental release, there will always be room for improvement. Over the next few months, we will continue to improve the the accuracy of the titles, potentially by editing our prompts or using different AI models (such as Claude or ChatGPT 4.0).
