About TXLookup

Public data, made answerable.

TXLookup is an open-source civic data agent for Texas. Ask a question in plain English; it finds the dataset, runs the query, checks the result, and cites the public source.

What we built

A traceable agent layer over Texas public data.

TXLookup lets an agent inspect public dataset structure, choose the relevant source, build a bounded query, recover from failures, and publish an answer with citations. The run trace stays visible so people can inspect how the answer was produced.

Team

Built by a small Austin team.

The project combines agent runtime work, open-data cataloging, observability, and MCP integration.
