County clerk launches AI-driven search tool

The Anderson County Clerk’s Office has introduced a new AI-driven public-search platform that gives citizens fast, free access to approved County Commission meeting minutes — both recent and historical — through an online database.

Developed in partnership with Data Records Management Services using advanced legal search technology, the system allows residents to find specific topics, motions and discussions in seconds from any phone or computer.

“Public records should be easy to access and easy to understand,” said Jeff Cole, Anderson County clerk. “This tool removes barriers and helps citizens stay informed about the decisions that shape our county.”

What the tool provides:

• Keyword search across commission meeting minutes.

• Access to past and present county decisions in one place

• Faster, simpler access to official public records

• Greater transparency between county government and citizens

The service is free to the public and requires no login or special software.

The County Clerk’s Office said it remains dedicated to preserving public trust through open records, professional service and innovative solutions that meet the needs of a growing and engaged community.

“This is about making sure the people of Anderson County can clearly see and understand the work being done on their behalf,” Cole said. “Transparency builds trust, and this tool is another way we are working to earn and maintain that trust every day.”
