Patch turns a photo on the street into a professional, evidence-backed report in the council's inbox — before you've walked to the end of the road.

One rule, enforced everywhere: AI never invents a fact.

Good morning, Cllr Smith

How it works

From street to inbox in under a minute

01

Snap

Photograph the problem. Photos compress on your phone so they fly up on 4G, and AI can describe what each one shows — you approve every word.

02

Pin

Patch finds you the moment it opens. Drag the pin to the exact spot; the full street address fills itself in, ready to correct or complete.

03

Sorted

AI drafts one professional email — your observations, your evidence, the location — and sends it to the right inbox before you've left the street.

Everything a casework day needs

Serious tools, dressed for the doorstep

Writes like you, only faster

Rough field notes become firm, factual, council-ready prose. Direct and politically aware — never invented, never exaggerated.

Legal & policy aware

Toggle Legal to weave in cautious statutory context. Toggle Council to cite your own configured policy library — and only that. No hallucinated law, ever.

Evidence that argues for itself

Described photos are written into the email — “the attached photographs show the collapsed kerb” — so officers can't scroll past them.

Chase, don't chance it

Set a follow-up reminder in one tap. When the council goes quiet, the bell lights up — resend, escalate, or mark it resolved.

Built for the whole group

Invite councillors by link — they set their own password and their reports route to their own recipients. Everyone sees their patch, admins see everything.

A paper trail by default

Every report, email, sign-in and edit is logged. When someone asks “when did you report that?”, the answer is one search away.

For group leaders & admins

Every report. Every councillor. One screen.

The council can't fix
what nobody reports properly.
