MyFOIA.ai was built on a simple belief: the Freedom of Information Act is a right, not a privilege. We built the tools to make it real — for journalists, researchers, advocates, and everyday citizens alike.
The Freedom of Information Act has existed since 1967, yet exercising that right has always been harder than it should be. Confusing agency rules, inconsistent response times, technical legal language — the system was not designed with ordinary citizens in mind.
MyFOIA.ai changes that. We combine AI-powered drafting, deep agency intelligence, and automated follow-up into one platform that handles the complexity so you don't have to. Whether you're filing your first request or managing hundreds, we've built the infrastructure to back you up every step of the way.
Our commitment is simple: more transparency, less friction, and a government that is accountable to the people it serves.
These aren't just words. They're the principles that drive every product decision we make.
We believe government data belongs to the people. Our platform exists to make accessing that data as easy as sending an email.
FOIA shouldn't require a law degree. We've built tools that level the playing field for individual citizens, not just large institutions.
We protect your information with the same seriousness we expect from government. Your requests, your data, your control — always.
Artificial intelligence amplifies what you can do — it doesn't replace your judgment. You stay in control of every request we help you file.
We don't stop at drafting. We physically mail letters, monitor responses, and take action on your behalf — because digital-only isn't always enough.
We're proud to build technology in service of democracy. A well-informed citizenry depends on access to government records — and we take that seriously.
Our platform walks you through every stage of the FOIA process, with AI assistance at every step.
Tell us in plain English what records you're looking for. Our AI identifies the right agency, the right office, and drafts a compliant FOIA letter.
Activate AI Managed Mode and we physically mail your letter via certified USPS with tracking and return receipt — the way agencies actually want to receive requests.
Your dedicated proxy email catches agency responses. We send automated follow-ups, track the statutory 20-day clock, and alert you when action is needed.
If an agency denies or delays, we draft your administrative appeal. If that fails, we prepare your OGIS mediation request — all without you starting from scratch.
Every document received, every letter sent, and every agency interaction lives in your dashboard — searchable, downloadable, and always under your control.
When a request becomes a legal matter, our Attorney Referral Network connects you with FOIA-specialized counsel based on your specific case.
Our team brings together backgrounds in law, journalism, public policy, and AI engineering — united by a commitment to open government.

When you enable Managed Mode, MyFOIA.ai physically mails your certified FOIA letter via USPS (with tracking and return receipt), monitors for agency responses through your secure proxy email address, and autonomously sends follow-ups, drafts administrative appeals, and escalates to OGIS mediation — all without you lifting a finger. Each activation covers both the initial certified mailing ($6.08) and an appeal mailing ($6.08) if needed. That's $12.16 in real postage per request, baked into your plan price. You can always draft and mail your own letter at any tier — just upload the tracking number and Managed Mode picks up from there. Learn more in our FAQ →
