How Civico Works

Civico is your civic command center — upload, explore, and expose the data that shapes your city.

Upload Public Records

Share documents like city budgets, contracts, invoices, and reports. Civico is built for transparency — all uploads are publicly visible and searchable.

AI-Powered Summaries

Our AI scans uploaded files and generates summaries to highlight patterns, red flags, or civic opportunities. Know more in less time.

Community Feedback

Join conversations, leave comments, and provide local context. Verified users include journalists, officials, and watchdogs — all working to improve transparency.

City Dashboards

Browse dashboards by city or county. View submitted files, active discussions, and AI insights tailored to each local government entity.

Verified Profiles & Badges

Earn badges like Transparency Advocate or Civic Leader by contributing meaningfully. Officials and journalists can be verified for added credibility.

Report Abuse or Corruption

See something wrong? Use our reporting tools to flag misleading content, unethical contracts, or concerning patterns — even anonymously.

Invite Your City

Not every city is active yet. That’s okay — you can invite your city officials, local watchdogs, or community leaders to join and start contributing officially.

Data-First, Not Drama-First

Civico is document-driven, not drama-driven. Everything you see here is traceable to real data, not speculation. That’s what makes it powerful.

Civico is free for the public. Always. If your city isn’t participating yet, you still can.
