Frequently Asked Questions

The questions planning leaders ask us most.

Is the AI just making things up?

No. Every answer is retrieved from your actual ordinance code and ships with a clickable section citation. When the code doesn't cover something, OpenCivic says so instead of guessing.

Who owns our data, and is it used to train AI?

You do. Your ordinance, parcel, and permit data stay isolated to your jurisdiction. We don't sell it, and we don't train public models on it.

Does this replace our planning staff?

No — it's a force multiplier. OpenCivic handles the repetitive lookups so your team spends time on the work that needs judgment. Staff and officials remain the authority on every decision.

How does it connect to our permitting and GIS systems?

Through their published APIs. We have live connectors for Esri ArcGIS and Tyler EnerGov today, and add others — Accela, OpenGov, CentralSquare, Municode, and more — on request.

How long does it take to go live?

About two weeks. We ingest your code, wire up your data integrations, run a private pilot with your team, and launch — no multi-month integration project.

What happens when our ordinance changes?

Re-ingest the updated section in minutes. You can also publish verified answers from the admin console that reach the chatbot within a minute — no redeploy.
