CloudRaven Labs

Research tools. Software products. Practical AI.

Turn a real question into a useful working system.

CloudRaven Labs builds research tools, software products and AI-assisted workflows. We help teams define a useful first outcome, connect the right evidence, and scope a pilot they can review and operate.

For program teams, researchers, product builders and the people responsible for putting new tools to work.

Meet TrendSights.

Community-level research.
In Less time.

TrendSights is an AI-assisted research workspace for understanding communities. Explore public data, compare places through supported workflows, and create maps, notebooks and briefs with sources and methods attached.

For community researchers and analysts supporting planning and program decisions. Available workflows and outputs depend on the research scope and beta access.

A worked research example · King County, Washington

Connect sources without losing their meaning.

Maps help researchers compare places; briefs and notebooks keep the findings open to review. CloudRaven’s locally developed King County study combines crash records, Census resident data and workplace context across Seattle, Bellevue and Tukwila to illustrate these research outputs.

King County's severe-crash count rose by 161 from 2021 to 2023. City Street records account for 138 of that increase. What changes when we look at the junctions, workplaces, road types, and daylight?

Prepared with Codex, the TrendSights research approach and human review, this study was developed separately from hosted TrendSights runs. Inspect the maps, publications, aggregate data and methods before using a finding.

Paired maps of ACS 2020–2024 resident density and LODES 2023 workplace primary-job density on verified 2024 tract geometry; these measures describe separate populations.
Same places, different populations. ACS describes residents; LODES describes primary jobs. Neither supplies a complete measure of travel exposure.

For public-sector teams · AI Readiness workshops

Start with one question your agency needs to answer.

A promising AI idea needs a clear use case, suitable data and a way to judge the result. Our workshops help agency program teams, analysts and IT leaders work through those questions together, using community research as a practical starting point.

Plan an AI Readiness workshop

Start a planning conversation. No account is required; sending an inquiry does not book a session.

  1. 01

    Define a useful outcome

    Choose one question or workflow. Agree on the audience, place, decision and first result your agency needs to review.

  2. 02

    Check the evidence and constraints

    Explore supported public data and identify local evidence gaps. Make data access, source periods, uncertainty and staff review explicit.

  3. 03

    Define a practical pilot

    Define data requirements, acceptance criteria, review checkpoints and a bounded next step before committing to a larger application.
