PermitPulse

PermitPulse is a web app with AI that monitors public planning and permitting sources (county agendas, environmental review portals, zoning notices, infrastructure bids) and flags items likely to impact sensitive habitats. Users define geofences (protected areas, corridors, watersheds) and keywords/species of concern, then receive ranked alerts with plain-language summaries, original source links, deadlines, and suggested next steps (comment templates, agency contacts, meeting dates). The product focuses on speed: most habitat losses happen because local stakeholders learn too late. It also tracks outcomes—whether a permit was approved, modified, or denied—so organizations can measure advocacy effectiveness. Realistically, it won’t replace legal review; it’s an early-warning radar that helps small conservation teams prioritize where to spend limited time and money.
