Citibot is Workforce Wave’s government partner. It delivers closed-system AI for cities and 311 agencies across web chat, SMS, voice, and social channels, serving 180+ municipalities in 75+ languages, 24/7. It answers only from verified municipal data and is powered by Workforce Wave.

Second in our Partner Spotlight series is the brand we trust with the hardest accountability bar of all three: local government. Meet Citibot, the Workforce Wave partner built from the ground up for cities, counties, and 311 agencies.

Government is unforgiving territory for AI. A resident asking when their trash gets picked up, how to pay a water bill, or where to vote needs an answer that is correct, not a confident guess. Citibot was designed around exactly that constraint.

Closed-system AI, on purpose

Citibot only answers from a city’s verified municipal knowledge base. It does not fabricate, and it does not improvise. If the information is not in the approved source, Citibot does not invent it. For a public agency that is held accountable for every word, that closed-system design is the whole ballgame. Residents get accurate, traceable information, and staff are not cleaning up after a hallucinating bot.

Built for every resident

Equity is built in. Citibot communicates fluently in more than 75 languages, so no resident is left behind because of a language barrier. And it meets people where they already are, across web chat, SMS, AI voice, Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, and text alerts. The result is a single civic front door that works on whatever channel a resident picks up.

The numbers behind the brand

  • 180+ municipalities already trust Citibot to talk to their residents
  • 75+ languages supported for equitable service
  • 24/7 response, so 2 a.m. on a Sunday gets the same answer as 9 a.m. on a Monday, with no overtime and no on-call staff

Keeping answers current

Cities change, and stale information is its own kind of wrong answer. Citibot Refresh continuously monitors a city’s data for outdated content and prompts staff to keep it current, so the closed knowledge base stays accurate over time rather than drifting after launch.

Powered by Workforce Wave

Citibot brings deep civic expertise and a trusted government brand. Workforce Wave provides the voice and conversational engine underneath it: the same real-time, accurate, escalation-aware platform that powers our hospitality and HR partners, hardened for the accountability that public service demands.
