Civic IQ Lab
A growing collection of prompts, assistants, and practical workflows built to help people think better, plan better, and solve real problems.
Some tools are serious. Some are surprisingly practical. A few may have dirt under their fingernails.
Civic IQ Lab is our public shelf for open intelligence experiments: practical AI tools, prompts, and workflows that help people navigate real-world questions.
Some tools support nonprofits, civic leaders, and fundraisers. Others help with creative reflection, oral history, career navigation, gardening, or everyday decision-making.
The point is not randomness. The point is useful intelligence.
