Unlock the knowledge of millions of your Public Sector peers
Right now, a Public Sector peer is solving the exact challenge you're facing and has a wealth of learnings and know-how to share - but you don't know who they are, how to reach them, or how to extract those lessons. That's what we're working to change with Civia.
Two safe, easy, free ways you can use Civia today:
(1) The Directory

We organized the publicly-accessible online contact information for Public Sector people in one consistent place; then we enriched it by tagging profiles with Seniority, Sector, Functional Areas and more.Claim your account to get access.
(2) Our GovAI bot
What's an AI bot / assistant?
AI bots are an application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML). They are trained on large public datasets of text and then can be used to answer questions, make predictions, and generate new text.
How is GovAI designed to be useful for Public Sector?
GovAI has been trained on publicly-accessible Public Sector and government datasets, and has been tuned to answer questions from your context - your (1) geography/region, (2) sector, (3) seniority, and (4) functional areas.
GovAI includes all of your context to help deliver a tailored response that is as relevant and useful as possible.
Is GovAI safe for me to use?
Yes, GovAI is safe to use for government and Public Sector people - it doesn't use or share your data for training, and it's aware of your sensitive and complex contexts. Finally, it's free to use and doesn't require you to install anything.
We believe AI can play an important role in making the profound and deep knowledge of Public Sector accessible and useful to everyone, and in particular those in disadvantaged circumstances.
