About UrbynAI

Local government intelligence, made readable.

UrbynAI tracks permits, legislation, meeting records, planning activity, and other public signals across Greater Cleveland, then turns that raw material into a clearer public-facing product. The goal is simple: help residents, builders, reporters, operators, and curious neighbors understand what a city is doing without digging through a dozen municipal systems first.

Why it exists
Public records are often technically available but practically inaccessible.

Important local information tends to live inside fragmented PDFs, council systems, meeting portals, spreadsheets, and municipal websites that are hard to monitor consistently.

The useful work is interpretation, organization, and continuity.

Residents rarely need more raw documents. They need a reliable way to see what changed, what matters, and where to go next for the original source.

Principles
Source-aware

Summaries are useful, but the original public document should stay one click away.

City-specific

Different municipalities publish records in different ways, so the product has to adapt instead of pretending every city works the same.

Built for regular use

The experience should help someone check a city repeatedly, not just visit once and bounce.
