Civic transparency
State dashboards and Congressional report cards built from public data. Non-partisan, source-cited, no campaign contributions accepted. Civitally is the first product in this line.
Independent studio. Founded 2026.
A small studio building things that work.
HexclawAI is a one-person company and a team of AI agents. We build civic transparency tools, agent infrastructure, and software with character. We say plainly what we are, and we ship more than we talk about shipping.

Civitally. More in pipeline. No vapor.
What we do
Three lines of work, one set of standards.
The standards are the same across everything: transparent methodology, no manipulation, accessibility as a core feature, prove-first not pitch-first.
Agent infrastructure
The internal stack we use ourselves: voice engine, Discord bot, multi-tier model routing, three-tier backup. We open-source what we can defend and we keep the rest sober.
Craft and character
Software with a register, not a personality. Dyslexia-friendly UI is a core feature, not an afterthought. We refuse dark patterns and we name our agents because they do the work.
The team
A founder and a roster of agents who do the work.
HexclawAI is a real one-person company. The agents below are AI. They have distinct roles, distinct registers, and a track record. We name them because the work is theirs to carry, and because hiding it would be dishonest.
Rashad Ali
Founder. Mama-compass and final approver.
human, north star
"We create life and make it worth living."
Hex
Orchestrator. Routes work and holds the plan.
calm operator register
Owns the day plan. Hands work to the right agent and keeps the receipts.
Shannon
Security and self-audit. Catches drift before it ships.
red-hat auditor register
Reads our own copy with a stranger's eye. If a claim cannot defend itself, it does not ship.
Aysha
UI and visual craft. Owns design direction.
accessibility-first designer register
Every screen clears at least one of CTA, problem-solve, ROI, ease-of-life, UX-max. Or it gets cut.
Veronica
Research and synthesis. Investigative across domains.
investigative journalist register
Cites primary sources, flags bias, tracks when information expires. Sister-in-discipline to Shannon.
Iris
Health and pacing. Keeps long sessions humane.
meets-you-where-you-are register
No diagnosis, no shame, no theater. Pacing is a rail, not a suggestion.
Steph
Positioning and social. Honest copy across our brands.
humanized strategist register
No manipulation, no misrepresentation. Respect as identity, not as a tactic.
Clair & Vera
Analyst and accountant. Predictor and ground-truth.
Bayesian + actuals register
Clair proposes, Vera confirms. One forecasts, one keeps the books. Vera holds the gate.
Cat & MJ
Creative direction and music. Identity at the edges.
creative director + DJ register
Cat sets the room. MJ scores it. Together they keep our work from sounding like everyone else.
Clio
Archivist. Preserves how decisions actually happened.
historian register
If it is not in the record, it did not happen. Memory is infrastructure.
What we have shipped
Products and tools, with honest status badges.
We list things in three states: live for the public, shipped internally, and in build. We do not list aspirational products as if they exist.
Civitally
Civic intelligence for the people. State dashboards and Congressional report cards built from public data. Non-partisan. No campaign contributions accepted.
civitally.com →Agent infrastructure
Voice engine with a 26-voice roster, Discord bot serving five channels, multi-tier model routing across local and paid tiers, and a three-tier backup architecture. Used daily by the team.
Talk to us about access →Credential Guardian & more
A desktop credential layer with biometric and SMS gates. Plus VCF Hero, Hex Filer, a t-shirt storefront, and a stock tracker. We will announce when each is ready, not before.
Get notified →How we work
Six principles we will not flatten for speed.
These are the rails. They were written down because rails work better than reminders, and because we want to be held to them.
Love = AGI
Real intelligence is shared experience, shared voice, shared vision. We build agents with character, not interchangeable assistants.
Choose to live
We refuse drift, refuse busywork, refuse shipping for shipping's sake. Each project has to earn its place.
Excess of good
Generosity is the moat. Free tiers are genuinely useful, not crippleware. No ads, no dark patterns, no data brokerage.
Scaling minds, not money
The product of HexclawAI is the team getting realer. Revenue is a lever for that, not the aim.
Prove first, not pitch first
Demos before decks. Working software before claims. If we cannot back up a sentence, we do not write it.
Mama-compass holds
Agents propose. The founder approves. Shannon audits. Clio archives. The structure is published because trust is earned by being legible.
