Meeting summaries for South Florida journalists
A three-hour zoning hearing hides a few minutes that matter. Dais finds them: the decision, the vote and where in the official video it happened, so you can check it yourself before you write.
Votes, with names
Each item records the outcome, the tally, who moved and seconded, and how each member voted, including who recused or left the room. That is the fastest way to answer who voted against, and whether an item was really unanimous.
Who said what, with timestamps
- Member briefs list the speakers on an item and link to the minute they spoke.
- Names heard in the captions are checked against the official agenda, and anything that could not be verified is flagged.
- Every claim links to the official video so you can verify before you quote.
Free for newsrooms and civic groups
Reporters at news outlets and neighborhood or civic associations in Miami, Miami Beach, Miami-Dade and Coral Gables get Dais free. Start the 14-day trial, then email zayden@webblaze.io from your work address and we will keep your account active at no charge. If you cite Dais, a link back is appreciated.
Follow a beat without watching every meeting
Set alerts for an address, a developer, a commissioner’s name or a topic such as “affordable housing”. When an item that matches reaches an upcoming agenda, you get a heads-up. After the meeting, you get a brief the next morning.
Dais summaries are written by AI. Use them to find the moment, then confirm in the video and the official record before publishing. If we got something wrong, you can report it from any summary.

Questions
Can I trust the quotes?
Treat Dais as a finding aid. Summaries are written by AI from official captions, names are checked against the agenda, and each claim links to the exact minute in the official video so you can verify it before quoting.

Yes. Alerts can match an address, a name, a file number or a topic. Matches appear first in your brief and trigger a heads-up when they reach an upcoming agenda.
