A model of how an idea grows on the city map.
Your residents photograph a neglected spot and show what it could become – and for the first time you see a live pulse of what they actually want changed, before it ever hits your inbox.
Not another survey nobody fills in. Residents engage because it’s fun – they photograph a place and watch AI transform it the way they wish it looked. The input is the participation.
Every transformed place is a pin on your city map. Patterns emerge fast: where people keep asking for greenery, calmer traffic, a square, a crossing. Demand you can see.
When more people want the same thing, the idea rises to the top. You walk into a planning meeting already knowing what residents care about most – and can act on it.
A resident stands in front of a neglected spot, photographs it, and shows what it could be – a parking lot becomes a park, a grey corner becomes a plaza. They see it today, and five seconds later, what it could be.
OULY turns the photo into a believable before and after in seconds and pins it to the public city map – and more neighbours back the thing they want too.
You get a live, aggregated view: which places people stand behind, which ideas rise, what they’d want changed. It’s the pulse of your city, and it moves as people contribute.
Imagine: your city has no Indian restaurant and 1,500 people want one. Someone opens it – on real demand, not a guess.
Every idea on the map shows how many people want the same thing, in public. For anyone weighing a new café, gym or restaurant, the pulse is free support for the decision – the kind of signal that used to take a paid market study.
To be clear: interest isn’t customers, and the pulse doesn’t guarantee demand. It shows where real interest already lives, so the next opening starts from data instead of a hunch.

No new process and no consultants. The pulse lands in the room the way councils already work – a map, a ranked list, one page of paper.
At the council meeting, the live city map goes up on the screen – every idea pinned exactly where residents placed it.
Ideas rank by how many people want the same thing, so the council debates what residents actually back – not whatever was loudest in the inbox.
The map has its own address – it drops into the agenda, the minutes or an email. Anyone who clicks sees exactly what was on the screen – a week after the meeting too.
One part-time admin runs the whole thing. The city sets the cadence – monthly or quarterly – and decides for itself what happens to the winning idea.
Sample
Visions, ideas and interest accumulate into a time-series of what the city wants. Once a city has been live a month or two, that record opens as a public API.
Residents start sharing visions, reimagining places and backing the ideas they want.
Visions, ideas and interest build up over time – a record of demand, not a one-off snapshot.
After roughly 1–2 months of live data, the city’s pulse opens as a public API.
Open to anyone. City hall builds dashboards, businesses scout demand, developers build on top, researchers study how a city changes its mind. A time-series of what the city wants – and a source of ideas.
Example request
No licence, no procurement, no contract. The city’s operation and the AI budget its visions are painted from are funded by the city partner – one local company standing behind the city.
Why free? One city partner keeps the city running – a single exclusive seat for a company that gives the city something to dream with.
Tell us your city and we’ll get you set up. No procurement marathon – just a conversation and a live map.
