How Local Government use it

A planner asks what happened at 412 Oak Street; permits, inspection reports and letters line up from the first filing to today.

A code case goes to a hearing; the officer prints the chronology on the city's letterhead, with each moment's recap.

Asked who said the bridge railing had to be replaced, the answer cites the inspection report and opens its page.

REAL AI - the whole Front Office is AI, not old software with an AI button.

Questions & answers

AI Time Machine for Local Government: questions & answers

What is a property history timeline?

Every dated moment of a property, a case or a project laid out in order, with the source of each. The Time Machine builds it, or a capital project timeline, from the city's own records: mail, documents in the File Cabinet, calls, bookings, records and the calendar.

Where do the dates come from?

From your records only. A document stands at the date written in it, not the day it was filed, so in the document timeline for city files a 2019 permit scanned today stands in 2019.

Does the recap come from the AI's memory?

No. Each moment's recap is built from the record itself; the pane shows the mail's text, the document's page with the passage lit or the call's transcript beside it.

Can the chronology be printed?

Yes. A code case chronology prints whole on the city's letterhead, ready for a hearing, a council briefing or the property file. Mail and documents that arrive later are added to it, marked new.
