AI-Powered Civic Transparency for Local Democracy
This year, I will finally understand my local elections and get involved as a citizen.

This document summarizes a series of project meetings focused on building a community-focused AI application for a local election. The discussions cover team composition and recruitment, defining the project's scope for a hackathon, and outlining the technical architecture. Key activities include automating the processing of community contributions, developing a neutral chatbot to compare political programs, and initiating web crawling operations to gather data. The plan involves using technologies like Firecrawl, N8N, Pydantic, and a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) system, with a strong emphasis on collaborative development practices via GitHub.

It emphasizes the importance of AI evaluations, defining them as structured measurements of system behavior. The lecture details the hackathon's timeline, submission requirements using the ENCODE platform, and the mandatory use of the OPIC tool for evaluation, guiding participants from ideation to final project submission.
After months of development on our horse racing analysis platform, we're taking a bold step forward. In 2025, Locki Labs shifts focus from real-time data aggregation to something far more ambitious: Valkyria — a temporal prediction system designed for scientific rigor and reproducible results.
Locki started as a vision during the Encode MultiversX Hackathon in October 2023, with the ambitious goal of creating a decentralized platform for minting, viewing, and interacting with 3D Data NFTs using the Itheum protocol.
