BGR is web-based software for nonprofit and for-profit boards and committees. It supports meeting preparation, live capture, agendas, minutes, resolutions, voting, policy and committee management, and follow-up records. Live capture can use on-device voice, quick buttons or a shared live stream; the product page says audio is not stored. Optional AI can answer governance questions and draft agendas, minutes and resolutions, with a person reviewing every output. A hybrid engine applies fixed rules and then AI review to flag governance issues; those flags are not a full audit. Each director receives a watermarked brief limited to material they may see, and can save it as a PDF. Board files remain in the organization’s storage, while BGR keeps a working copy for 30 days that an administrator can delete sooner. BGR states that it uses mandatory two-factor sign-in, role-based access, activity logs and encryption in transit and at rest. Boards are separated in the database, including from administrators. There is no free trial, though visitors can preview a sample without signing up. Plans include a 249.00 CAD per-meeting option and a 709.00 CAD annual plan.
Who it is for
BGR is intended for nonprofit and for-profit boards and their committees. It may suit organizations that need meeting records, director-specific briefs and controlled handling of board materials.
What is good

- Working copy can be deleted by an administrator before 30 days
What to know first
- No free trial
- Governance flags are not a full audit
- Board portal integrations are listed as future features
Verdict
BGR covers board meeting workflows and provides access controls, tailored director briefs and optional AI assistance. Treat its governance flags as prompts rather than a full audit, and note the 30-day working-copy retention period.
