About Daniel Shavit
Daniel Shavit builds independent tools that make public records legible: city budgets, contracts and council decisions turned into accessible information. For the AI Builders Fellowship, he is building Tale of a City, a way to explore Vancouver through its own public records. Type an address and follow the history of a place through council minutes from the 1970s, archive films and documents, each linked back to its source in the Internet Archive. His festival presentation combines a prerecorded film, AI-enhanced textures and a look at the underlying dataset. The aim is to turn a library of government publications into local memory people care about, and a sourced foundation that AI can draw on when people ask what happened around them.

AI Builders Fellowship: what they made
Two builders from the AI Builders Fellowship, Internet Archive Canada's program with BC + AI, each get ten minutes to show what they built. Daniel Shavit presents What happened on your street? Vancouver through time, from the Archive's records: a film-led journey through Vancouver built from open data, council minutes, archive films and documents. Type an address, explore its history and follow each finding back to the Internet Archive. Then the man who built the Archive takes the stage.
