ABOUT
A civic intelligence atlas.
American Context aggregates publicly available U.S. federal and state government data into a single conversational ontology — federal spending, disaster declarations, legislation, regulations, climate, demographics. Every answer is grounded in primary sources and cited inline.
Why this exists
Federal data lives across thousands of portals, formats, and authorities. A question like “what laws authorize FEMA Public Assistance, and how much spending reached Florida since 2020?” spans Congress.gov, USAspending, FEMA OpenFEMA, the U.S. Code, and Census ACS — a research project, not a lookup.
American Context turns that research project into a question. The same civic spine — Law → Program → Money → Place → People → Outcomes — connects every entity, so reasoning across them is just graph traversal.
How it works
We ingest data from primary government sources on a documented cadence, normalize it into a typed ontology, and expose it through a conversational agent and a public atlas of canonical pages.
Every material claim on every public page maps back to a fact and citation from the original source. No aggregator copy. No LLM-fabricated numbers. Pages stay noindex until reviewer-approved.
