Citizen clicks and chooses voice or text: "I want to add a bathroom to my basement" or "I'm building a shed in my backyard." AI understands the project scope.
AI determines required permits: "For a basement bathroom, you'll need a plumbing permit and possibly electrical. Here's what you'll need to submit..." Explains documents, fees, and process.
AI provides link to online application with checklist of requirements. Complex zoning questions or variances are routed to staff with full conversation context.
"Our permit counter had 45-minute waits because 70% of people just needed to know which permit to get. Now AI handles that question instantly. Wait times dropped to 8 minutes, staff focus on actual permit review instead of explaining basics, and applications come in way more complete. We processed 23% more permits last quarter with the same staff."
