What we build
Document intake and extraction
Ends the manual read-and-re-key on claims, permits, and applications. The same extraction stack runs live production traffic at top-10 US banks.
Resident-facing chatbots
Takes the routine questions off your staff's phones. Answers from your own website and policies, in multiple languages, with handoff to a person when it needs one.
Form and workflow automation
Replaces one manual process at a time, whether intake, review, approvals, or notifications, with a tracked queue and a record of every step.
Reporting and dashboards
Program managers see live numbers without asking staff to run a report. Views over the data you already have.
System integration and data pipelines
Stops the same record being keyed into three systems. Connects the ones that don't talk and keeps the data clean and current.
Custom portals and internal tools
Web applications and APIs built to your workflow, not adapted from a template.
Micro-purchase builds under $10k, fixed-price builds from $25k, and larger multi-phase programs scoped to your budget and timeline.
Agency functions we support: permitting and licensing, public records, benefits and case intake, procurement, HR, finance, transit and public works.
