Built to empower municipal officials, developers, attorneys, realtors, and community groups with a unified source of truth—streamlining public records research, ensuring policy consistency, and keeping everyone aligned on how the city operates and serves its citizens.

AI-Powered Civic Dialogue

Converse directly with the meeting archives and municipal code. Query meeting summaries alongside reference documents like the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO), City Charter, City Budget, and Comprehensive Plan to cross-reference code requirements with active board debates in seconds.

Tracked Interests & Alerts

Set custom interest tags (such as historic preservation, structural engineering, or roofing) to monitor projects in front of the Design Review, Planning, and Zoning boards, and receive proactive alerts whenever a relevant project is scheduled or discussed.
