Stenodisc

Stenodisc puts each request your AI assistant wants to send on your phone for approval, then keeps the record of what the service did with it.

In development · Tested end to end with the Tallmere 311 demonstration

One streetlight report, from Claude to the city

Tallmere is a fictional city. Its 311 service follows Open311 GeoReport v2, a published standard for city service requests.

  1. Claude asks before it files

    You tell Claude that the streetlight in front of 700 Cedar St has been out for a week. Claude looks for open city reports within 150 meters, writes the report, and sends it to your phone.

    The screen shows the report's text, where it goes, the checks Claude passed, and when the request expires. You tap Approve.

  2. The city gets the report with your receipt

    Tallmere 311 files it as request #4200. In the staff queue it carries a green Approved by a person badge with receipt rcpt_4rq89k. Reports that came in by phone or web form have no badge.

  3. You confirm the repair

    The city assigns a streets crew 12 hours after filing. Two days after filing it marks the light repaired, and you confirm the fix two hours later.

    The report's history lists every step with the time and who took it: Claude, you, Stenodisc, or the city.

What Stenodisc lets you decide

Each example comes from the same Tallmere test run.

  • The limits an assistant works within

    Stenodisc checks a request against your limits before it reaches you. In Tallmere, Claude could report street problems, three a day, and each request expired after 24 hours. Power outages went to the utility's own line.

    Checked before asking you

    • Allowed for agents
    • No open report within 150 m
    • 1 of 3 filings in 24 hours

  • Whether a likely duplicate goes out

    When the city already has an open report nearby, the approval screen shows it next to Claude's reason for filing anyway. At 300 Front St the open report covered the bus shelter, and Claude's covered the library wall. The resident declined it.

  • Whether the city's closure stands

    When the city closes a report, you can confirm it or tap Still broken. The city marked the fallen branch at 200 Mill St cleared while it was still on the sidewalk, so the resident disputed it.

    The history shows the city's closure and the dispute in order, each under the name of whoever made it.

    History of the fallen branch report at 200 Mill St, marked Disputed, city request 4203. The city closed it as Tree cleared, and the last entry records that you said it is still broken.
