STRisker Product Update - Spring 2025

Hope you've all finished Q2 strong, and looking forward to some extra time off for those of you in the United States.
At STRisker, we released a lot of improvements over the past few months to help you stay ahead of short-term and vacation rental regulations with less effort and more precision.
Whether you’re tracking changes locally or internationally, here’s what’s new inside STRisker.

🧠 AI-Powered Summaries
Turn long, complex government documents into quick insights.
We know that most agendas and meeting minutes are dense, repetitive, and filled with jargon. That’s why we built AI-Powered Summaries — a tool that automatically extracts and explains the key takeaways from any document, so you know where to dig in further.
How it works:
- 📝 Context-Aware: It scans agendas, minutes, and other government records to identify major topics, decisions, and proposed actions.
- 🧩 Auto-Labeling of Keywords and Topics: Documents are grouped by relevant categories like zoning, housing policy, public safety, building codes, and more.
- 💬 Plain Language Summaries: You get concise, easy-to-understand descriptions of what’s happening — no legalese, no filler.
Why it matters:
- 🕒 Save Hours: Stop wasting time digging through dense PDFs. Get straight to the decisions and actions.
- 🎯 Focus on What Matters: Know immediately whether a document contains something you need to act on.
- 🧠 Context, Not Just Keywords: Our summaries don’t just highlight mentions — they explain why they’re important.
🗺️ National Map View (Advanced & Enterprise only)
Visualize key updates, meetings, and regulatory sentiment across the U.S. at a glance. A powerful tool for teams managing multi-regional portfolios.
