Community Pulse

Community Pulse gives Claude live, sourced access to New Zealand's regional statistics — turning a data warehouse into plain-English answers you can trust. Ask something like "how many people work in manufacturing in the Waikato region?" and Claude runs a real, structured query and returns an actual figure, never a guess from memory. The catalog spans the themes that shape understanding of a New Zealand place — economy and employment, public safety, population and housing, cost of living, and the environment — and grows over time, so what's covered is always available live through the connector, not fixed here. Beyond ad-hoc questions, built-in workflows produce ready-made analyses on request: a full regional profile, an economy snapshot, a safety snapshot, an industry deep dive, a two-place comparison, a trend report, a council-ready policy brief, a "why did this change" investigation, and a self-contained visual infographic. Built for councils, healthcare organisations, not-for-profits and enterprises who need fast, sourced answers about New Zealand regions — no dashboard to learn, just a question asked in plain English.
