Policy design working sessions
Map the policy options on the board: problem statement, option A / B / C, pros and cons, stakeholder considerations, recommended path. Snap it. The summary is the first draft of the policy decision memo.

Why public sector teams pick BoardSnap
Public sector work is coordination-intensive. Programs span agencies, jurisdictions, and stakeholder groups. Every planning session, every interagency working group, every constituent engagement workshop generates a whiteboard full of decisions and action items. Those decisions need to be documented accurately — not because it's a nice-to-have, but because public accountability demands it.
BoardSnap captures that documentation at the moment it's made. Snap the program design board, the interagency coordination matrix, the policy options analysis. BoardSnap AI reads the structure and returns a written summary that becomes the meeting record your team builds from. The Projects feature organizes work by program, initiative, or stakeholder group — keeping each effort's history in its own traceable record.
The offline queue matters for public sector field work: site visits, community meetings, rural program implementations often happen with unreliable connectivity. BoardSnap captures on-device and syncs when you're back in network coverage.
Common public sector workflows
Program planning and kickoff
New federal or state program launch: objectives, workstreams, agency roles and responsibilities, milestones. Draw it on the board. Snap it. The structured output gives every agency partner their piece of the work plan.
Interagency coordination sessions
Map the shared responsibility matrix: who owns which data, who has regulatory authority, where the handoffs happen, what the escalation path is. Snap it. The summary becomes the coordination protocol that reduces the email chains.
Community engagement and constituent input
Run a community input session with a whiteboard capturing themes and priorities from attendees. Snap the board after the session. The structured summary becomes the engagement report that goes back to leadership and to the community.
Budget planning and justification
Map the program budget, cost drivers, and investment priorities on the board. Snap it before the budget justification deck gets built. The structured output captures the rationale while it's still fresh.
Privacy & data handling
VisionKit perspective correction runs on-device with no external data transfer. AI summarization sends content to BoardSnap's API. For boards containing Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), PII, or other protected government data, review your agency's information security policies before using cloud summarization. Most policy planning and program design sessions don't involve sensitive personal data at the whiteboard level — for those, BoardSnap operates without restriction.
Frequently asked
Can federal employees use BoardSnap on government devices?
BoardSnap is a standard App Store app. Federal agencies' IT and security offices would need to evaluate it against agency ATOs and acceptable-use policies. Many agencies allow standard commercial apps on government-furnished devices; some require specific app vetting. Check with your agency IT security team.
Is BoardSnap suitable for FedRAMP-covered environments?
BoardSnap is not FedRAMP authorized. For FedRAMP-required environments, BoardSnap's cloud summarization feature would not be compliant. The on-device VisionKit capture step does not involve external data transfer and is not subject to FedRAMP.
How do we document constituent input from community meetings?
Run the community meeting with a facilitator capturing themes on the board. At the end of the session, snap the board. BoardSnap AI returns a structured summary of the themes and priorities captured — useful as the first draft of your community engagement report.
We work across multiple agencies on one initiative. How do we share output?
BoardSnap produces text summaries you can share via email, Teams, or any document system. The app itself doesn't have multi-user project sharing yet — you'd snap, copy the summary, and distribute it through your normal channels.
Does it work in rural areas or field offices with poor connectivity?
Yes. Offline queue captures and stores the board on-device. Summaries sync when you return to network coverage. No board gets lost because the field office internet is down.
