We build AI agents for the work that builds communities.
MuniNow is an AI consultancy. We find the highest-value workflows to augment, then build the custom agents that run them, for the government, construction, engineering, and design organizations that share the same permits, plans, and inspections.
The people behind it
Charles and Bewley met in the trenches on the Columbia University football team, one on defense and one on offense, then went into two of the most paperwork-bound corners of the economy: healthcare and real estate. They came back with the same conclusion. The highest-value place to point AI is the unglamorous, regulated work the people who build and run communities still do by hand.

What we actually do
The Workflow Audit
We study how your work actually flows (your people, systems, and documents) and hand you a ranked map of where AI pays off fastest, or de-risks you most before your veterans retire. It's bespoke and conversational, not a fixed package. You get a roadmap you can act on with or without us.
Custom AI Agents
Then we build the agents that do the work: software that owns a workflow end-to-end and makes decisions within rules you set, not a chatbot that drafts a reply for you to send. You stay in control, and every step is auditable.
Who we serve
One spine runs through the built environment: the same documents, the same compliance, the same workforce walking out the door.
Tell us about your workflows
We'll tell you, honestly, where an agent earns its keep, and where it doesn't yet. Or watch one work first.
