Mavnio: the AI communications platform we built for organisations that answer to the public
Most AI content tools are built for speed. Mavnio is built for organisations where every post has to be right, approved and defensible. Here's why we built it and what it can do for yours.
There’s no shortage of AI tools that will write a social media post for you in seconds. For most organisations, that’s not the hard part.
The hard part is everything around it. Is this the right story to talk about? Does it sound like us? Has the right person signed it off? If someone asks in six months why we published it, can we show them? And did any of it actually reach the people we care about?
That’s the problem we set out to solve when we built Mavnio.
Where it started
Mavnio began with a government body that came to us needing its communications done properly. Not faster for the sake of it, but governed, measurable and defensible to an auditor. Every publication had to be approved by the right people, every decision had to be recorded, and leadership needed an honest picture of what was working.
We looked at what was on the market. There were plenty of scheduling tools and plenty of AI writers, but nothing built for organisations where getting it wrong in public has real consequences. So we built it.
What Mavnio does
Mavnio takes the repetitive, time-consuming parts of communications and hands them to AI, while keeping people firmly in charge of what actually goes out.
It finds the stories worth talking about. Mavnio watches thousands of news and industry sources in several languages and scores each story against the audiences you care about, so your team starts the day with a shortlist instead of an hour of searching.
It drafts in your voice. For each story it writes posts tailored to each platform, using your organisation’s own tone and language. It’s a first draft, not a final word, but a first draft that already sounds like you.
It routes everything for approval. Drafts go through an approval chain you set up, whether that’s one manager or a communications officer, a legal reviewer and a director in turn. Approvers can work from their browser or straight from their inbox. Nothing is published until the right people have said yes.
It keeps a full audit trail. Every draft, edit, approval and rejection is recorded with who did it and when. If anyone ever asks why something was published, the answer is there.
It publishes and measures. Approved posts go out directly to your channels. Mavnio then tracks engagement, including which institutions and organisations are paying attention, not just how many likes a post received.
It tells leadership the truth. Every Monday, Mavnio writes a plain-language executive brief: what went out, what landed, what didn’t and what to consider next. No vanity metrics and no forty-page dashboard to wade through.
It runs your newsletter, properly. Mavnio also hosts newsletters with double opt-in, so every subscriber has genuinely confirmed they want to hear from you, with an unsubscribe link in every email. It’s the system behind the sign-up form at the bottom of this page.
Why “AI with a human in the loop” matters
There’s a temptation to let AI run communications on autopilot. For an organisation that answers to the public, that’s a risk not worth taking. One badly judged post can undo years of trust.
Mavnio is designed the other way round. AI does the heavy lifting: the searching, the sorting, the drafting and the reporting. People make the decisions. That’s what lets a small team communicate like a large one without losing control of what’s said in its name.
Who it’s for
We built Mavnio first for the public sector, and it’s especially well suited to:
- Government ministries, departments and agencies
- Municipalities and public-private partnership projects
- Chambers of commerce and trade bodies
- NGOs and development programmes
But the same problems apply to many businesses. If you work in a regulated industry, if several people need to approve what goes out, or if you simply want your communications to be consistent and measurable, Mavnio can help.
It’s also ready for agencies and consultancies that manage communications for several clients. Mavnio can be white-labelled under your own brand, and each client’s data is kept separate and can be exported at any time.
What it can do for your organisation
In practical terms, Mavnio helps you to:
- Save time on finding stories and writing first drafts, so your team spends its time on judgement rather than admin.
- Stay consistent, with every post in the same voice and following the same rules, whoever drafted it.
- Reduce risk, because nothing goes out without the right approvals and everything is on record.
- Show your value, with clear, honest reporting that leadership will actually read.
- Grow your audience with a newsletter that’s compliant from day one.
Why we built it ourselves
At Imagine Digital Studios we help businesses put AI to work, and we believe you can’t advise on that properly unless you’ve built and run it yourself. Mavnio is that proof. It’s the same thinking we bring to our AI solutions work for clients: start with a real problem, keep people in control, and build something that can be trusted in daily use.
