The clerk still types. Until now.

This is still how it works

A resident files online. Someone in your office opens the PDF or portal, opens the same permit system you have used for decades, and types every field by hand. Then they do it again. And again.

1. Resident submits a digital form through your site or a vendor.
2. Clerk reads it on one screen.
3. Clerk opens the legacy application.
4. Clerk enters each line manually.
5. Repeat across permits, licenses, zoning, benefits, court filings.

How ClerkOS works

No backend access. No help desk ticket. A clerk can install it in minutes on the workstation they already use.

1. 01

   Forms arrive from anywhere

   A resident submits through your website, a third-party portal, or email. Format does not matter.

2. 02

   ClerkOS reads the document

   Computer vision and language understanding pull the fields you need from the file.

3. 03

   The agent uses your legacy UI

   It moves through screens like a clerk: fields, dropdowns, tabs, submit. No API and no integration project.

4. 04

   The clerk reviews a summary

   Their job shifts from typing to checking exceptions and clearing holds.

5. 05

   Every action is logged

   Timestamps and before/after records give you an audit trail that stands up to oversight.

Every deployment makes the next one smarter

We document interface maps for major legacy government systems: screens, field names, flows, and edge cases. Each agency run refines that map. It is stored and reused the next time someone on the same system turns the product on.

Not the same problem as RPA

UiPath, Automation Anywhere, and Microsoft Power Automate are built for enterprises with IT staff. Most small cities never get past the first quote.

Pricing

Priced so a department can try it without a board vote on a seven-figure vendor. Under many small-purchase thresholds: no purchase order on a standard corporate card in most places.

Most agencies recover the cost in under 60 days.

Figures

Start with a real pilot, not a slide deck

Thirty days. One workflow. No purchase order. Your department head gets a before-and-after number they can take to the county administrator or city council without asking IT for a project plan.
