Soteira, deadpan, insists the engine is not a cleaning brand: it cleans data. Dead links scrubbed, lost dogs found, pantry pages resurrected, 311 complaints counted. Then she shouts the real number the city closed on Wednesday (10,108), apologizes that she is fine, notes that illegal parking was two thousand of them, and tells New York to follow or the pigeon takes the parking spot.

Ask the engine

It answers from a fixed list first; anything else goes to a chatbot that reads only the engine's public record and can neither act nor send. If you are in trouble it points you to real people first.
