Ordinal Research Assistant
Government employees spend over a third of their week digging through codes, policies, and old PDFs just to answer one question. Ordinal Research Assistant reads your city's documents so your staff don't have to. Every answer arrives in seconds, with a citation attached.

Unlike generic AI chatbots that may hallucinate or pull answers from across the internet, Ordinal ONLY pulls from your city’s approved policies, plans, and documents.
Ordinal was founded in Arkansas by engineers and civic technologists who work directly with cities to set up, train, and support the platform, not a self-serve tool you're left to figure out alone.
Staff can see exactly where an answer came from and open the source document with one click. That means no ambiguity in interpretation and no one has to take the AI's word for it.
Ordinal never guesses. It's built on retrieval-augmented generation, so it answers only from the codes and policies your city has uploaded, not from whatever it has seen elsewhere online.
Code enforcement officers pull up answers from a tablet in the field. Planners check zoning requirements at their desk. New hires ask the questions they'd otherwise have to interrupt a senior colleague to get answered. Ordinal Research Assistant works the same way for all of them.
And, it's pulling from the same knowledge base, so no matter who asks the question, they all get the same response. That means city planning can see the fire hydrant specs public works already logged without having to call over and ask.
Every city and county gets its own private AI model, trained only on the content it uploads. Nothing is shared across jurisdictions, and nothing is invented. Ordinal's retrieval-augmented approach means answers are always backed by a real, citable source — no hallucinated code sections, no guessing.
Stop letting institutional knowledge live in one person's head or one buried PDF. Give your staff a research assistant that knows your code as well as your best employee does, and never forgets it.
