Resident
Always free for residents

24/7 concierge service
for your residents.

Your residents speak or type to an AI-based assistant to ask a question, report a problem, request a service, suggest an improvement or thank a city team. They don’t need to know which department to contact. Resident understands the request and sends it to the right team in Citycare, then keeps them informed.

No phone tag required.

A pothole, a broken light, a missed pickup. Say what and where, add a photo if you like.

Bulk pickup, a permit question, a tree to trim. The request goes straight to the right team.

A crosswalk, a bench, a better idea. Suggestions reach the people who can act on them.

⌖

See what’s nearby

Work and requests on your street, on a simple map.

How it works

A unified platform that coordinates your work
while keeping your residents connected.

Step 1

Speak or type

In plain words, by voice or text. No forms and no department to find.

Step 2

Understood

The assistant asks only what is missing: where, and maybe a photo.

Step 3

Sent to the right team

It becomes a request in Citycare, with the right department.

Step 4

Followed on the map

Residents see requests near them and their status, in real time.

Step 5

Updates come to you

Scheduled, done, thanked. No need to call back for news.

Reminders and arrival alerts

Know when your garbage truck is approaching.

Residents subscribe once. Resident does the reminding, by text, with no app needed to follow the truck.

  • A text on the morning of garbage day.
  • A text when the truck is about 15 minutes away, with a link.
  • A live map of the truck arriving, like tracking a ride.
  • A last text when it’s collected, with a photo.

Arrival updates use connected vehicle locations and collection schedules in Citycare.

Designed for everyone
  • Talk or type, in English or French.
  • Big buttons, plain words, nothing to learn.
  • The same experience on the phone and on the web.
Snow removal, live

Watch the streets turn green.

During a storm, residents open the app and see snow removal progress across the city in real time. Every street a plow clears turns green. Fewer calls asking “when is my street next?”

  • A live map of the whole city
  • Plows shown as they work
  • Cleared streets painted green
Works with your 311

One more way to reach you.
Seamless, real time, by voice.

Resident works with your existing 311 call centre and service request systems. It gives residents another way to reach the city and get updates. It does not replace those systems, or the people who use them.

Same requests, same Citycare

Whether it comes from a call, the app or the web, the request lands in Citycare with the right team.

Status answers itself

“What’s happening with my pickup request?” The assistant answers from Citycare, so agents can focus on calls that need a person.
