Your civic GPS.
Civic Agent maps every body that governs your address and reads their agendas for you. It warns you before the vote, shows what each option costs your household, lays out every side's best case, and recommends the best route if you want to take part. You choose the destination.
Starting where we live: Cedar City, Utah. Everyone else gets their civic map, every body that governs them, while we grow.
A GPS for the decisions that shape your town.
A GPS doesn't pick where you're going. It knows the roads, warns you about what's ahead, recommends the best route, and won't let you go the wrong way down a one-way street. Civic Agent does the same for city councils, school boards, and county commissions.
You decide what you think. Your agent never tells you how to vote or which side to take.
Every body that governs your address, who represents you on each, and what's on their agendas.
A heads-up while you can still act, what each option costs you, and the best route to weigh in or show up.
Set your address once. Then it watches the road ahead.
Set your location
An address and a few household facts, like whether you own or rent and whether you have kids in local schools. In five minutes your agent maps every body that governs you. Most people can name two of the nine.
A heads-up before the turn
When an agenda item touches your street, your school, or your taxes, you get a text while there's still time to act, not after the vote. At most two alerts a week, and a short weekly briefing that ends when it's done.
See what each option costs
A cost range for your household, the method behind it, and a calculator that runs on your phone and never stores what you type. Next to it: who else pays, and who benefits.
See every side, not just one
Each contested item shows the main views in words the people holding them would sign off on, in the same order for everyone. Plus one decision from across town every week, so you see more than your own block.
Turn-by-turn directions to take part
Your agent recommends the best way to make your view count: who decides, where to send it, and when. It warns you before a dead end, like a closed comment window or the wrong office. Help putting your view in your own words, never a form letter, and the local groups already working on it.
Keep it, or delete it
See everything your agent knows about you on one page. Export it or delete it all in one tap. You can even give your agent a name.
Take your civic GPS for a test drive.
A ten-step tour on a live phone: the first text, setup, your governance map, the weekly briefing, cost calculators, every side's case, writing a comment, and the page that shows what your agent knows.

On your side about your interests. You choose the destination.
A GPS that took money to steer you would be useless. These are the rules your agent runs on, and they don't bend for a sponsor, a city, or a cause.
Every side, before any alert
Your agent never alerts you to a contested item without each side's best case. A panel of residents chosen by lottery checks that each side would recognize its own view.
No destination pushed
It never tells you which side to take. It recommends the best route for the view you choose, and it shows you why neighbors disagree.
Built for residents only
No ads. No city money. No developer, builder, or real-estate customers. Free at its core, funded by civic philanthropy and library partners.
Your numbers stay on your phone
Cost estimates use public assessed values only. Calculators for income or miles driven run on your device and never store what you enter.
Beyond your block, always
Every week includes a decision from across town. You can rearrange your dashboard, but you can't hide the rest of your community.
Yours to see and delete
One page shows everything your agent holds about you. Export it or erase it in one tap. Nothing is kept after you delete.
We open one city at a time, so each one works fully.
Cities move up the list when enough neighbors sign up and a library or local partner joins. Your address tells us where interest is growing.
