Ask My Corner AI

One permission-aware interface across the useful local information already available inside My Corner.

01

Ask your neighbourhood in everyday language.

Ask My Corner AI is intended to make the wider My Corner experience easier to navigate. A resident can ask a local question and the assistant can retrieve information the user is authorised to see across relevant My Corner records.

AskUse a natural-language local question
RetrieveCheck authorised My Corner information
AnswerTurn permitted records into a useful response
ActOpen the relevant My Corner record or next step

Grounded by design

The answer should be tied to actual authorised My Corner data rather than invented local facts.

Permission-aware

The assistant should never become a shortcut around access controls, private groups, exact addresses or participant-only information.

02

Show what the answer is based on.

The useful part is not only the prose answer. Grounded source cards can show the My Corner records behind it — such as a provider, event, group or official broadcast — with relevant actions.

ProviderView the provider or start a request
EventOpen the event and respond
GroupOpen the group where access allows
BroadcastOpen the official notice and its source

AI is the interface, not the source

The underlying My Corner record remains the source of the local fact.

No silent invention

If the data does not confirm an official alert, formal decision, provider availability or other claimed fact, the assistant should say it cannot confirm it.

03

Reduce friction without taking over judgement.

AI can also help structure a resident's hire request from their own words and support text or image safety screening. The user remains in control of what is submitted.

PreserveKeep the user's original text available
StructureOrganise the request without inventing details
ReviewLet the user check the result before submission
FallbackKeep a non-AI route available

No trust scores

AI must not decide that a person is trustworthy or make high-impact trust decisions by itself.

Operational safeguards

AI features need fallbacks, feature flags, timeouts, error handling, monitoring, privacy review and evaluation.

04

One assistant across the neighbourhood experience.

As My Corner grows, the assistant can become the connective layer across providers, community information, Groups, Events, Marketplace, businesses and official local information — while still respecting each feature's permissions.

DiscoverFind the relevant part of My Corner
UnderstandSummarise permitted local information
NavigateTake the user to the underlying record
DecideLeave the final judgement and action with the user

Local answers, not omniscience

The assistant should be useful precisely because it knows when My Corner has evidence — and when it does not.

Human control remains central

AI can reduce friction, but it cannot replace trust, judgement or accountability.

Ask the neighbourhood. See the evidence. Choose what to do next.

My Corner AI is designed to make the neighbourhood operating system easier to use — without pretending AI knows more than the underlying data establishes.
