High school and college students, from California to Maryland. Some code, some write, some organize. We have mentors — entrepreneurs, developers, teachers, policy experts — but the vision, the design, and the voice are ours.

Yes, and we designed around that. Civix answers from a set of trusted civic sources and scores how well each one matches your question. If the best source doesn't clear a fixed confidence threshold, Civix tells you it doesn't know rather than guessing.

No. There's no sign-up, no login, and no profile. We don't ask for your name, email, address, or age.

As little as we can. Questions you ask Civix are sent to third-party AI providers to generate an answer, and our host keeps ordinary server logs. We don't sell data, run ad tracking, or share anything with campaigns or parties.

Civix covers how U.S. government works at every level and is not state-specific. Our representative directory starts with Maryland, and we'll expand as we can.

Yes, and it will stay free for students.

Please tell us — wrong answers are the single most useful thing you can send. Include the question you asked and what Civix answered.
