Madison and Prophecy both start with the same basic idea: a secure place to put your city’s files where the AI can only use those files and won’t make things up. What we each build on top of that idea is where we split.
Hover any tool on the left to see the instructions that sit inside it. Hover any Prophecy layer on the right to see what it actually does.
Admin, Planning, Procurement, Electeds — something out of the box for every desk. Technology-wise, most agents are prompts behind a button over a shared file index.
Each layer is a real system we built — not just AI instructions with a pretty button on top. That’s what makes every tool above it faster, more accurate, and easier to defend in front of council.
Shallow lets you launch fast. Deep compounds — every layer makes every tool better.
Pick a file type below. Watch what happens between “upload” and the AI actually being able to answer questions from it. Most of our competitors skip these steps and hope the AI figures it out.
If a staff report says a motion passed, the AI has to confirm that motion actually passed in the minutes. Not “probably.” Not “the AI thinks so.” Confirm it — or don’t make the claim. Click Verify motion below to watch it work.
Staff has evaluated the conditional use application for a three-story medical office building at 412 Riverside Drive. The proposal meets height, setback, and parking standards under the Downtown Mixed-Use overlay.
Key points from the April 12 Planning Commission:
Item 4. Application SP-2024-015 — Riverside Medical Plaza (CUP). Staff presentation by K. Park. Commissioner questions on parking adequacy and tree preservation.
Public comment: three speakers, one in favor, two expressing concerns about construction-period traffic. No written correspondence received after 5 p.m.
Next item: Item 5 — Variance for 1004 Oak.
Both systems claim citations. Only one lets you click a number and see the exact passage — word-for-word highlighted in the source file or video transcript. No page-hunting, no 200-page re-reads.
Type a question into both systems and watch what comes back. This is what happens in a real side-by-side trial — and why the choice is already made by the time the meeting ends.
In the real trials we run with cities, this is the moment staff stop clicking back to the other tab.
Madison’s contracts charge you per department, per terabyte of files, and cap your team’s usage at $3,000 a year before the price goes up. We built a more efficient way to read and search files — which means we can offer the whole thing for one flat price. Forever.
