Send us what you have.
CC&Rs, bylaws, rules, amendments, minutes, board policies: PDFs, scans, whatever's in the filing cabinet. No new documents to write.
For CAMs and HOA boards · Fast. Accurate. Answers.
Plain-English answers from your community's own governing documents, with the document, article, and page every time. CAMs get their time back. Boards stop hearing the same question twice.
How it works
01
CC&Rs, bylaws, rules, amendments, minutes, board policies: PDFs, scans, whatever's in the filing cabinet. No new documents to write.
02
Every document is scanned, OCR'd, and indexed, the 2003 scans included, so nothing that's actually in force gets skipped.
03
CC&Rs outrank bylaws, bylaws outrank rules, and a 2019 amendment overrides the 2003 clause it amended. Answers reflect what's in force now, not what was true once.
04
Our co-founder is a neuroscientist, and it shows: "can I paint my door red?" returns the rule that applies, not forty hits for "paint."
05
The document, article, and page, every time. If a resident pushes back, they're arguing with the deed, not your judgment.
06
Send an amendment or new minutes and every answer updates. Questions your documents can't answer are flagged, so the board knows what to address next.
Why not just…
"Parking" returns forty hits across four documents. None of them mentions that the 2019 amendment replaced the rule on page 12.
Residents are already trying this. You can upload the documents now, but it reads a few relevant passages, not all of them, and drafts a half-formed answer. It's worst on the uncommon, multi-part questions. And what you upload can become training data.
The standard is one business day, and the answer depends on who's remembering. Boards turn over every one to three years; the memory leaves with them.
In one pilot community, a resident asked whether a dead tree could be replaced with the same kind. The board's recollection was yes. The documents said not without review. TheNeighborhoodOS answered from the documents, with the page.
That gap, between what everyone remembers and what's actually in force, is the whole product.
Who it's for
The standard is one business day; residents expect it now. The questions with written answers shouldn't land in your queue at all.
Pool hours, pet rules, parking, fence colors: it's all in the documents. Residents get it at 11pm; you get the hour back for the work that needs a license.
Every answer quotes the governing language and cites the document, article, and page. If a resident pushes back, they're arguing with the deed, not your judgment.
Different documents, the right rule for each, every time. Not "the way the last CAM remembered it."
Unanswered questions are flagged, so the board knows what to address next.
The rules your board approved, finally in every resident's hands. Fewer meetings about pool hours and paint colors.
Residents can understand the governing documents without calling the CAM or showing up at a board meeting with a grievance.
Board terms run one to three years. The documents remember what the last board decided, and why.
The lesser-known requirements, remembered and applied the same way to every application.
When residents can see the source behind a decision, they're less likely to challenge it. Transparency reduces conflict.
Real answers from your community's actual rules, at 11pm on a Sunday, without calling anyone.
No waiting for a callback, no hunting through a PDF. Ask in plain language, get a cited answer instantly.
Renovating, landscaping, getting a dog, hosting an event: the rules are there. Now they're findable.
Every answer cites the source. You're seeing the same document the board and CAM work from.
Real questions
Five questions residents actually asked. Open one for the answer, with the page.
Portable hoops are allowed without an application if your home has a rear drive. Keep it on your own driveway and in good repair. March through October it can stay out; November through February it goes in the garage from dusk to dawn. Nothing may be permanently attached to the house, and nothing goes on a shared driveway.
Design Standards · p. 54
The documents have no like-kind exception: tree removal is within DRC scope, improper removal can mean an approved-species, comparable-diameter replacement, and dead plants must be removed promptly. Get written DRC confirmation first.
Design Standards · pp. 11, 12, 48, 49, 55
Seasonal decorations can go up 45 days before the holiday and must come down within 14 days after. For Halloween, that's September 16 through November 14. No approval needed, as long as they're kept in good repair. The exception: anything 12 inches tall or 18 inches wide that wasn't part of the original construction needs approval.

In most of the community, yes, with DRC approval first. It has to sit on a hard surface, keep the pump and pipes screened from view, stay out of sight from the street, and be behind a solid six-foot fence or the house itself. One neighborhood prohibits them outright.
Design Standards · pp. 43–44
Keeping a llama in your yard, even for an afternoon, is prohibited. The standards bar keeping animals, livestock, or poultry of any kind on any lot, with the only exception being dogs, cats, and caged birds kept as pets. A llama is livestock, and a birthday party doesn't create an exception. The party itself is fine, just not at the pool; the clubhouse rooms can be rented for it.

The free pilot
Send the governing documents; your residents get a link. After the pilot it's pennies per door per month, discussed when the pilot ends. No automatic charge, no renewal.
Your documents stay yours: never sold or shared with other communities, deleted on request. Residents don't create accounts: one community password, and no question is ever tied to a person.
