Got feedback from an early customer who was moving from Toronto to Calgary: "Your reports are great, but they're too long. I need to screen 10 properties before booking a flight to Calgary."
Added a TLDR section to reports to address that.

Just built an "Analyze" feature for PickYourPlace with AI-powered property reports! Was about to push to prod but decided to spice it up with some AI magic, & maybe monetize it 😏. Basic reports use templates, while standard & premium add AI interpretation of the data. #GeoAI #AI #RealEstate #GIS

Working with 🇨🇦 Canadian census data has been a lot of fun. I’m kinda proud of our new "Census" lens on PickYourPlace. For now, it’s only Calgary, but I’ve got big plans for more cities soon.
