Flask Status: Distilling 🧪

​
Overview

Civic Knowledge is an integrated AI assistant designed for internal teams, such as operations, engineering, support, and compliance, to query and understand organizational systems in real time. It bridges the gap between raw systems data and conversational insights. This flask pulls together multiple Civic Labs components (like MCP, guardrails, and pass-through proxy) to provide a unified, secure chatbot interface that connects to:
  • Logs and diagnostics systems
  • BI dashboards and databases
  • Ticketing and project management systems
  • Internal wikis and documentation
  • Source code repositories
  • Verification services

Key Features

  • Conversational Access: Natural language interface to internal systems via MCP
  • Multi-Provider AI Support: Works with OpenAI, Anthropic, and AWS Bedrock
  • Enterprise Auth Integration: Secure access via Civic Auth with role-based controls
  • Voice Input: Optional voice transcription for hands-free operation
  • Progressive Web App: Installable with offline capabilities and deep linking
  • Built-in Guardrails: Policy controls and audit logging through pass-through proxy
  • Mobile Optimized: Responsive design with mobile-specific auth flows

​
Usage

Civic Knowledge can be deployed internally as a private assistant, embedded in developer workflows, or accessed as a progressive web app. It’s designed for security-aware, compliance-sensitive environments where teams need quick access to organizational data without navigating multiple systems. Example use cases:
  • “Show me errors for user X in the last 24 hours”
  • “What’s the status of civic pass Y?”
  • “Find all Jira tickets related to authentication”
  • “Search our codebase for implementations of Z”

​
Integration Notes

Civic Knowledge showcases how multiple Civic Labs flasks work together:
  • MCP Hub manages connections to various data sources
  • Guardrail Proxy enforces fine-grained access controls
  • Pass-through Proxy provides audit logging and authorization hooks
  • Bodyguard could be integrated for additional prompt security
The system supports organization-wide or per-user authorization policies and can be extended with custom MCP tools for additional data sources.

​
Status

This flask is currently distilling: Early versions exist and are being piloted internally at Civic. The architecture has proven stable for internal use cases, and we’re refining the user experience based on team feedback. A whitelabel version is also available for organizations wanting to build their own internal AI assistants. Contact us if you’d like to help test it or shape its roadmap.
