Upload and manage exactly which documents and data you want your AI tools to pull from. Ordinal can connect with a variety of existing applications, your website, and "read" any relevant documents.
Ordinal is designed to minimize administrative overhead. You don’t have to tag content, rewrite policies, or restructure documents. Once files are uploaded, the system automatically organizes and interprets them. Routine updates simply require adding new documents — no constant backend maintenance needed.
Ordinal is not decision-making AI. It’s an information engine that surfaces verified documents so staff can work smarter, not abdicate responsibility. Usage permissions, audit logs, and role-based access ensure teams use the tool appropriately and supervisors retain oversight.
Every answer comes from a single, city-approved knowledge base. That means Planning, Public Works, the Clerk’s Office, and Comms all reference the same language. Ordinal actually reduces messaging drift by keeping everyone aligned.
Most teams are fully active within a single onboarding session. The interface is intentionally simple — if a staff member can type a question, they can use Ordinal. Training focuses on how to ask questions effectively and how to verify source citations.
Ordinal is designed to enhance staff capacity, not replace headcount. It helps employees do their jobs more efficiently and with less friction, without altering job responsibilities or requiring reclassification. Cities typically see improved morale and more efficient teams— not displacement.
