CityOS

My crew of AI agents is reading the City of Vernon's whole public record - its website, its bylaws, its drawings - so that anyone applying to build, and the staff who review them, can find the answer in one place.

Starting with permits and plan checks · 1 city: Vernon, BC

Vernon's whole website, read: 3,625 pages and 648 PDFs into 6,533 facts

The first step was to read everything the City of Vernon publishes and turn it into facts a person or an agent can look up, each one tied back to the page it came from.

What's coming

In flight

Drawings read cold in under a minute

Which bylaw is in force, decided in code

Vernon's amending bylaws to Bylaws 6000 and 6100, saved

Planned

Every parcel: what can be built today, and under which rules

Every council decision: variances, rezonings, votes and reasons

Every bylaw checked against every other

Every department's services, one desk each

Wildfire: each household's zone and what an order means

Measure the city: days per permit, from its own data

Who decides what at city hall

Paused

Vernon's own bylaw contradictions

Mackenzie Bowes, in Vernon, with a crew of AI agents

I live in Vernon. If you work for a city and want this working for your permits and plan checks, I'd like to talk.
