Came up with the assistant for town halls and has been building it for two years. Makes sure it answers correctly and never makes things up.
about
Every town deserves a town hall that answers.
Three quarters of Czech municipalities have fewer than 1,000 residents. They have no IT department and no press officer. Citee gives them an assistant that only large cities could afford before.
our story
We started with one village.
We built our first assistant for a town hall two years ago. Custom work, for one municipality. It worked, but every new assistant meant weeks of work.
So we flipped it. Instead of custom projects, we built a ready-made product. Today the assistant learns from a town's website on its own and starts answering within minutes.
In fall 2026 we founded Citee: a company focused only on towns and municipalities. We moved all our municipalities to our own platform in the European Union.
Now, after the municipal elections, we are reaching out to newly elected mayors in Czechia and Slovakia. We want every town hall to answer, even in the smallest village.
milestones

- November 2026
Czechia and Slovakia
After the municipal elections, we are reaching out to newly elected mayors in both countries.
why it matters
Thousands of town halls without their own IT.
Small municipalities have the same duties as large cities, with a fraction of the staff. So we build a product every one of them can run.

team
The people behind Citee.
Jakub Navrátil
co-founder · runs Citee
A village kid who understands technology. Leads sales and the team, and visits mayors in person.
Sales team
Prague · all of Czechia and Slovakia
Sales reps and callers who show the assistant to municipalities. We are growing and hiring.
We work from an office in Prague 9. We travel to mayors across Czechia and Slovakia.
how we work
Three rules we don't break.
We don't make things up
Neither the assistant nor us. We only promise what holds true, and we never round numbers up.
Prices are public
Every municipality can calculate its own price. A small village doesn't pay more just because it doesn't negotiate.
The town is visible, we are not
Citizens see their town's website and an assistant in its colors. Our brand stays in the background.
press
Press and investors.
