Xylo

Xylo is a London-based GovTech startup that deploys AI agents to help local government planning departments process applications faster and with greater accuracy. Built over 300+ hours working directly alongside planning officers at Leeds City Council, Xylo's agents handle the administrative burden of planning applications — reading submission files, checking compliance, and drafting initial reports — so officers can focus on judgment and decision-making. Early pilots demonstrated a 40% monthly increase in applications processed per officer, and the company has received recognition from the UK Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government for responsible AI deployment.
