Inspiration
Often small communities lack a source for traffic and incident reports. In Rexburg Idaho many use facebook groups for sources of information. Often these reports are unprofessional, contain personal information, biased, and or out of date. NeighborView resolves this issue by providing a platform for users to report incidents anonymously. And allows AI to filter and summarized the reports provided by users. This ensures the information is delivered professionally. The more reports posted by users increases the likelihood of accuracy. NeigborView is the professional news representative and voice of the community.
