What Voci is

An AI civic-action coach: describe something you want changed, get a plan you can actually work through.

The short version

Voci turns something you care about into a plan you can actually work through. You describe an issue in your own words. Voci reads it back to you, works out which level of government decides it, and gives you three to six concrete steps — a letter to write, a call to make, a petition to run, a meeting to turn up to.

Then it writes the hard parts for you. The letter and the phone script arrive already drafted, in your voice, about your situation. You edit them, send them, and tick them off.

Who it's for

Anyone who has thought “someone should do something about this” and stopped there. Voci is built around small and mid-sized decisions — the kind an individual can still move:

  • Local. A branch library closing, a bus route cut, a zoning vote next door, a permit fast-tracked before anyone noticed.
  • Schools. A school board vote, a curriculum change, a district budget line.
  • State and national. A bill in your state legislature, a federal agency rule, something in front of Congress.

You do not need to know how any of this works, who your representatives are, or how to write a letter to an official. That is the part Voci does.

How it works

  1. 01

    Say what's going on

    Write it however it comes out — no forms, no jargon. Voci reads it and gives you back a short, plain summary so you can check it understood you. Getting started walks through this.

  2. 02

    Get a plan back

    Three to six ordered steps, easiest and most useful first, each aimed at whoever can actually decide. You can add research, ask follow-up questions, and work them in any order. See Your plan.

  3. 03

    Work through it

    Open a step and Voci drafts the letter or the script, live. Edit it, copy it, or send it by email to the right office in one click. See Working a step.

The four kinds of action

Every step in a plan is one of four kinds:

Letter
A letter or email in your own words, about your situation, addressed to a specific official, agency, or decision-maker. Email it or print it.
Phone call
A short script you can read down the phone without freezing — what to ask, why it matters, how to sign off.
Petition · share
A petition to sign or run, and a post you won't be embarrassed to share. Voci petitions get a public signing page.
Local action
The meeting to turn up to, the hearing to speak at, the group already working on it. This one happens in person — Voci gives you the brief, you show up.

What Voci won't do

  • It never sends anything on its own. Voci writes the draft. Nothing leaves your account until you press send, and you can change every word first.
  • It won't invent facts. Drafts are told never to fabricate statistics or quotes. If you want a number in your letter, check it and put it there yourself.
  • It won't target private individuals. Civic pressure is aimed at officials, institutions, companies and policies — not a neighbour, an ex, or a coworker. Voci declines projects and drafts pointed at private people.
  • It won't help with anything unlawful, or with threats, harassment, or doxxing. Anger at injustice and sharp criticism of an official's public record are entirely fine; those lines are the limit. The full rules are the community guidelines.
  • It isn't a lawyer. Voci is a drafting and research assistant, not legal advice.

What it costs

Nothing. No card, no trial running out, nothing held back behind a plan. There are monthly allowances that exist to keep it that way — ten new projects a month, and a shared allowance for AI work across drafting, research and chat. Most people never reach either. See Account, limits & privacy for the exact numbers.

Where to go next

Voci is also used by representatives' offices receiving letters — what an office should know covers that side. Terms and the community guidelines are linked in the footer of every page.
