Every AI governance platform has the same problem. The data is there: every prompt, every tool, every account, every alert, every enforcement decision, but getting an answer out of it is a human job. Customers ask questions in the language of governance (“how much shadow AI do we have, and is it going up?”). Platforms answer in the language of dashboards: fixed views, single numbers, one tool at a time.

That gap between the question someone wants to ask and the clicks required to answer it is where most governance programs stall. Dashboards show what someone decided in advance was worth showing. Reports take days to build. Non-technical stakeholders never log in at all. The richest AI governance dataset in the organization sits one export away from the people who need it.

Meet Finch: the first AI assistant built specifically for public-sector AI governance. Finch lets anyone—admins, security leads, CIOs, Chief Digital and AI Officers—ask any question about their organization’s AI program and get a real answer, grounded in their live Darwin data.

Finch is where every AI governance question starts—a single prompt connected to every prompt, tool, account, alert, and enforcement decision in your agency.

Ask, Investigate, Produce

Finch works at three depths, and the user moves between them in a single conversation.

Ask. Any question about the AI program, in plain language. "Which departments are using AI the most?" "Is shadow AI going up or down?" "Who uploaded files to a personal ChatGPT account last month?" Finch answers from your live agency data, not a model's general knowledge, not a dashboard's pre-built view, not an export someone has to run.

Investigate. Follow-ups carry context, so a question becomes a line of inquiry. Finch reasons across tools, accounts, time windows, and evidence, the kind of cross-cutting analysis no dashboard can hold. One conversation can move from "how much shadow AI do we have?" to "which users?" to "what did they upload?" without starting over.

Produce. When the conversation needs to leave the room, Finch recognizes it and builds the artifact. A designed, multi-section report with charts, tables, and narrative; exportable to PDF or HTML, saved to a Library, reusable as a template. Pre-built starting points for Executive Briefings and Mayor Reports ship with it, ready for the moments governance work actually gets shared.

Finch produces designed, multi-section reports with charts, tables, and narrative—exportable to PDF or HTML, ready to share with leadership or schedule on a recurring cadence.

Reports That Send Themselves

Any report Finch produces can be scheduled. Pick a cadence, add a recipient list, any email address, internal or external, no Darwin login required, and Darwin regenerates the report on fresh data and delivers it automatically.

Every run is retained, so this month's report can be compared to last. The Mayor's weekly AI briefing. The CIO's monthly governance summary. The quarterly compliance update to records officers and the deputy city manager. All of it happens on its own, with the people who need the information finally getting it directly.

An Assistant You Can Actually Trust With Government Data

Finch isn't a general chatbot bolted onto Darwin. It's an assistant that can only be useful because it has the data: your agency's live governance data, and nothing else. Every answer is grounded in records the organization owns and governs. Every piece of reasoning happens inside Darwin

For public-sector agencies, that's a security position, not a convenience. Governance evidence doesn't get exported to an external AI tool for analysis. It stays where the records obligations already apply.

Where Finch Changes the Work

The weekly executive briefing used to require an analyst, a spreadsheet, and a formatted document. It now runs on a schedule.

The ad-hoc data request from a council member used to take days. It now takes a sentence.

The shadow AI investigation used to live in an external AI tool because that's where the reasoning could happen. It now stays inside Darwin, where the records already live.

Finch guides each inquiry to the right level of detail, asking the clarifying questions needed to turn a question into a complete, actionable answer.
