Transforming Communities
Our Story
Founded in 2021, City Detect is on a mission to revolutionize the way local governments understand and interact with their built environment. Leveraging cutting-edge AI and computer vision technology, we provide detailed, up-to-date insights on housing & roadside conditions. Our journey began with a passion for urban development, a keen understanding of technology, and a commitment to making a positive social impact.
Our Approach
City Detect’s approach is simple but powerful. Your city’s fleet vehicles are equipped with cameras to capture images passively as they navigate their regular routes. These images are then processed by our PASS AI, identifying and mapping issues affecting properties. The result? Detailed, actionable reports that inform decision-making and strategic planning.
Our Team
Our team is led by Gavin Baum-Blake, an army veteran and seasoned entrepreneur, and lawyer with expertise in startup law, and Dr. Erik Johnson, an urban economist, AI/ML engineer, and well-known data scientist.
