The problem

The answer is in the data — if you have hours to dig for it.

Most staff can't get to the answer they need without exporting spreadsheets, building maps, or asking the one person who knows where everything lives.

So good questions go unasked, and decisions get made on whatever was easiest to pull together that week.

What you get

Understand what you have. Then act on it.

Understand — the data

  • Ask in plain language — no query language, no training required
  • Answers grounded in your own current infrastructure data
  • Even historical city records made searchable and location-aware

Act — the decisions

  • A council-ready report, generated on demand
  • A work order drafted straight from a question
  • A budget or capital plan prepared in seconds, not weeks

Ask CYVL

Ask a question. Get the answer. No GIS required.

Ask CYVL answers plain-language questions about your network — scoped to any area you draw — so anyone on your team pulls the insight they need in seconds, with no analyst in the loop.

Getting an answer out of infrastructure data usually takes GIS skills or a data analyst. So the person who needs it — a director prepping for council, a manager scoping a grant — waits on the one person who knows the system.

  • Plain-language Q&A — ask about conditions, counts, and plans across your whole network. No queries, no GIS.
  • Crayon tool — draw any neighborhood, corridor, or grant boundary on the map and get answers scoped to just that area.
  • One assistant, real output — it drafts capital budgets, builds multi-year plans, generates work orders, and optimizes crew routing from your live data.

Under the hoodAnswers run on your live, continuously updated network data; works alongside Esri/ArcGIS, OpenGov, and the tools you already use.

Why CYVL

The most complete picture, at the lowest lift.

01

One pass captures everything

A single drive captures every asset in the right-of-way at once — pavement, sidewalks, signs, and more — so you're never paying for separate surveys.

02

Built for how government buys

Available on cooperative purchasing contracts, with data your team owns. Procurement is straightforward and the path to value is short.

03

Fastest to value

Most agencies go from first drive to decisions in weeks, not the months a manual survey takes — and the picture stays current after that.
