Common Sense AI Inc. builds AI solutions specifically for the work that runs local government: from public records to agenda management and beyond. Our software is a flexible SaaS platform built to change what's possible in government service delivery.
Founded in 2025 and headquartered in California, the company was started by engineers and operators from Palantir, SpaceX, Apple, Amazon, the cybersecurity firm Tanium, and the government software provider OpenGov.
Before Common Sense, this team delivered technology for high-stakes federal, state, and local operations across intelligence, defense, justice, and public safety. The same team architected the secure cloud infrastructure behind Tanium's FedRAMP and Protected B authorizations. In those environments, security, reliability, and defensibility were never negotiable. That standard carries into everything Common Sense builds for local government.
Every agency runs differently; unique departments, systems, ordinances, and cultures. Common Sense provides composable capabilities that assemble into what an agency actually needs. Ready-made solutions exist for the workloads nearly every jurisdiction shares, but they are starting points rather than boundaries.
Administrative burden in local government extends far past any vendor's roadmap: grant reporting, code enforcement intake, licensing, tax collection, claims, internal approvals, constituent correspondence, inspection follow-up. Each consumes real staff hours; none justifies a dedicated software purchase. With our solution, an agency describes a process in plain language and receives a working system — forms, AI review, routing, approvals, recordkeeping, without developers or a massive services engagement.
Departments never served by software finally get solutions that fit their needs.
People decide; technology does the work. Automation prepares, suggests, and assembles; staff review and approve.
Common Sense can consolidate existing software purchases or build on what an agency already has. It connects to the document management, email, financial, permitting, and legacy systems agencies run today, including those never designed to integrate. Nothing has to be replaced first.
The result is hours returned to staff, faster responses to residents, and deadlines met without adding headcount.
Common Sense partners with ̽»¨ÊÓÆµ to bring these capabilities to government customers nationwide.
