About · The team
Four people. Seven agents. 6,061 datasets.
Built at the AITX × Codex Hackathon (May 8–10, 2026). A live layer over the source-of-truth Texas + Austin open-data portals. Plain-English in, sourced answer out, every claim citable back to the originating portal.
The roster
Builders, not just demoers.
Each person owns a distinct slice. Git history attributes every line.
Ravinder Jilkapally
Agent loop · Replanner · Observatory
Built the multi-agent orchestrator, the doom-loop guard, and the /q observatory. Owns the agent runtime and the planner contracts.
Kunal Vasavada
Dataset onboarding · Catalog correctness
Curates the dataset catalog. Wrote the user-story corpus and the 90-question Claude harness. Filed the bugs that pinned the 311 dataset-id and the permits-column mismatch.
Godwyn James
Doom-loop wiring · Instrumentation
Wired the pattern-based doom-loop guard into the agent runtime. Owns the per-step duration_ms + token-usage telemetry that feeds the STATUS panel.
Raj Akula
External-runtime validation · MCP integration
Validates TXLookup as an MCP server in external runtimes (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex). Authored the MCP manifest + Smithery deploy spec.

Acknowledgements
None of this exists without the open-data movement.
Thanks to the cities of Austin, Dallas, San Antonio, Houston, and the State of Texas for publishing the datasets behind this site openly. Thanks to AITX and Codex for hosting the hackathon, and to Miro and Smithery for the MCP tooling. The agent loop runs on OpenAI Codex / GPT-4o, with Featherless as an open-source fallback.
