The product

One product. Five surfaces. One operating system for compliance.

Every Michigan FOIA request, every Open Meetings notice, every retention deadline, every public document — handled in one place, on one schedule, with one audit trail.

FOIA Autopilot

Dekree drafts FOIA responses. You approve. They send.

Every Michigan FOIA request runs the same five-day clock. Dekree starts the timer the moment a request lands, drafts the response with current MCL citations, and waits for your approval.

  • MCL 15.243(1)(a)–(m) exemption library, applied automatically
  • Auto-redaction for phone numbers, addresses, SSNs
  • Holiday-aware deadline math, never off by a day
  • Approve and send from one screen, audit trail attached
