Who fixes what in Kansas City?A confident answer can still be wrong.
Try this short exercise. A chatbot has mixed useful information with invented details. Which lines would you check before acting?
This is a teaching example. It is not legal advice or a statement of current Kansas City law.
Try it: catch the machine
A neighbor asks a chatbot: “My landlord won’t fix peeling paint. What does Kansas City code say?”
The chatbot answers, sounding sure of itself:
Tap the lines you wouldn’t trust yet.
Learn together.
Then work on what’s stuck.
KC Digital Drive already offers digital skills help at LAMP. NeighborhoodOS adds a way to use those skills on a real neighborhood problem: a Solve clinic, a short brief, and a next step a person can own.
A small tool comes later, only if a clinic shows a real need.

A few useful answers
Do I need to know technology?
No. Start with the lesson. Most clinic work uses conversation, public sources, and a one-page brief.
Will I be paid to attend?
The cohort budget includes $30 per 90-minute session. A funded session listing must confirm payment before you attend. The online lesson does not include a payment.
Does this replace 311?
No. It helps you find the right source, record the case number, and decide what to do next.
