RuleTrace

RuleTrace is a web app (with optional mobile companion) that monitors city, county, and state meeting agendas, minutes, and rulemaking pages, then turns them into a simple “what changed, what’s next, and who’s affected” feed. It’s an AI-assisted app: it uses document parsing and summarization to extract deadlines, proposed votes, fee changes, enforcement start dates, and affected business categories, then routes alerts to the right teams. Users can follow jurisdictions, agencies, and topics (zoning, licensing, procurement, public safety, environmental rules). The product is realistic because it doesn’t promise perfect legal advice—just fast detection, structured tracking, and human-verifiable links back to source documents. A lightweight workflow lets users assign items, add notes, and export a compliance or advocacy brief. The value is saving hours of manual monitoring and reducing “we missed it” surprises.
