LUMINARYX^™Canadian Municipal AI Governance

Canadian software for Canadian municipalities

Governance, risk and compliance for municipal AI.

Each AI decision your staff make is checked against your policies and Canadian law, approved by people you name, and kept on a tamper-evident audit trail you can show council.

No AI inside

The engine is rules-based. There is no model, and none of your information is sent to one.

Ask about the municipal pilot

Read the transcript

LUMINARYX™ gives every AI use decision a record: who asked, who approved it, and why.

Kevin wants an AI assistant to draft first replies to resident emails. He describes it in plain language. He doesn't need to know the legislation. LUMINARYX shows him which requirements apply, from your own policies and the law in your province.

Then someone else has to approve it. Nadia can't just click approve, she has to say why, in her own words. Whoever logs a decision can't approve it themselves, and high-risk decisions need two approvers.

Once it's approved, a person checks what the AI actually produced. If they have a concern, it goes back to be fixed.

It all lands in one record, and in an audit trail where each entry is chained to the one before it. If anyone changes a record after the fact, it shows when the chain is verified.

When council asks how you're using AI, the board pack is one download.
