Civic started with a familiar problem: the group chat wants a weekend away, but nobody wants to compare ten cities. Describe the trip and it gives you three places to look at first.

The ranking runs in your browser with an open-source MiniLM model. Your prompt stays on your device. Civic checks ten cities across England, Scotland and Wales, using current weather and city information.

Every result links back to the tourism guide, source article and weather provider. If the model cannot load, the site falls back to a straightforward text match and tells you what happened.

I designed and built the research flow, the local ranking and the city guides. The full list stays available below the shortlist when you want to compare for yourself.
