Spend less time sorting email

LocalGovMail helps council teams categorise, prioritise and route incoming email.

It flags messages that may need urgent attention, summarises conversations and can suggest responses, so staff can spend more time helping residents.

Reduce repetitive triage

Give staff a useful head start on every message

Every incoming message must be read, understood, prioritised and sent to the right place. LocalGovMail prepares the information while officers decide what happens next.

1

Sort email faster

Categorise and route messages using rules agreed by the service.

2

Find risk sooner

Flag possible urgency and other signals for officer attention.

3

Respond with context

Summarise long conversations and prepare a draft response.

Explainable decisions

See why a message was handled that way

Staff can review the matched mailbox rule, the identified user need, the recommended action and the confidence behind it.

This helps teams check recommendations, improve their rules and keep service knowledge at the centre of the process.

Controlled automation

Your service decides what the AI can do

Officers can review decisions. Each service can set its own rules, confidence thresholds and escalation paths, with a record of AI actions and human interventions.

  • Begin with triage and add automation gradually.
  • Keep predictable, low-risk work within agreed rules.
  • Review the processing trace when a decision needs scrutiny.

Start with what you have

Introduce support around one existing shared mailbox

Understand what arrives

Analyse existing email to identify common demand, patterns and risks.

Agree how to handle it

Service experts review the categories, routing rules and escalation paths.

Introduce help gradually

Start with the safest, most repetitive work and review the results.

LocalGovMail works alongside existing shared mailboxes and runs as a separate internal application in the council's Azure environment. Teams can add specialist email triage without a mailbox replacement programme.
