This is Andrew, Founder/CEO of Prophecy Gov (AI agents for city governments). We operate American Sentiment.

Our main focus is building AI tools that serve city staff. We also create data from public, online data sources; in this case city council videos.

Data center development has reached a fever pitch nationwide. We started American Sentiment to help AI leaders, researchers, and the public better understand and respond to local sentiment nationwide.

The American Sentiment on Flock Safety is next!
