New York Smart City, a whole city in ChatGPT, Claude, and any other AI
Ask if the L train is running, which Citi Bike stations near you are empty, and what the air quality index reads in the Bronx today.
New York never stops negotiating with its own grid: the subway underneath, the bikes at the curb, the congestion zone above, and the steam rising in winter. The air above the avenues moves with the traffic and the river, and the night's listings change by the hour. We turned every system into a Connector, so a single link hands your AI the whole city. Ask it about the steam, the bikes, or what is on tonight, and New York answers right where you are already typing. The wiring beneath all of it is yours.

What this page does not do
- 01
Are the counts on this page live?
The capability counts are design placeholders. They will be replaced with counts derived from the Connectors actually mapped to each domain, the same way every other number on this site is generated from the catalog, never hardcoded.
- 02
Can my AI control the city's systems?
No. It reads them, and where a Connector writes (booking a garage, holding a reservation), it writes to that service, not to the city. Nothing on this page gives an agent control over public infrastructure.
- 03
Is every New York service available?
Not every service, no. The eight systems on this page are wired and live — every Connector in the ledger works today. Services we cannot reach yet simply are not on the page; the ledger grows when they are.
- 04
Isn't there already an app for each of these?
There was. Transit, parking, air quality, events, each one meant its own app and its own login. Here they are Connectors the AI you already use calls directly, and the same Connectors are what you build your own apps on. One connection instead of a drawer full of them.
- 05
Do I need to write code to use these?
No. Connect a Connector, paste the prompt, and the AI does the rest. The prompts on this page work in ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and any client that speaks the same protocol.
