Connect your Legistar and GIS data
July 22nd, 2026Bring your city’s own data sources into Mesa. Organization connections let you plug in three kinds of sources: CKAN open-data portals, ArcGIS servers, and Legistar legislative portals. Connect one once, and every member’s agent can search and analyze it. No per-person setup.
Highlights
Highlights- Connect once, share with everyone: Connect your city’s open-data portal, GIS server, or legislative portal a single time, and it’s available to every member’s agent, with an access switch that Owners control.
- Live data behind your Interactives: Pair a connection with an Interactive to map parcels and district boundaries straight from your ArcGIS server, chart datasets from your CKAN portal, or track ordinances and votes from Legistar.
Interactives
July 20th, 2026Ask for a tool, not just an answer. Interactives are live, agent-built pages (e.g. fee calculators, clickable district maps, filterable dashboards) that Mesa creates right inside a conversation. Describe what you want in plain language, and the agent writes a working page you can click, drag, and type into, saved to My Files alongside the rest of your work.
Highlights
Highlights- Working tools, not static answers: Ask for “a calculator that estimates development impact fees” and get a page with inputs you can adjust and see results instantly. Every revision is kept, so you can iterate and roll back freely.
- Built for iteration: Every change happens in conversation, so you can refine an Interactive the same way you’d refine a draft.
Introducing Vaults
July 19th, 2026Research your own documents the way Mesa researches the law. Vaults give your organization a private corpus of its own (e.g. contracts, filings, records, policies) that Mesa indexes and searches just like the public legal library.
Highlights
Highlights- Any document, indexed for search: Upload files or drag in whole folders. Mesa indexes each document as it arrives, so full-content search works across everything in the vault.
- Agent research over your material: Start a conversation scoped to a vault, and the agent reasons over your documents the way it does over statutes and municipal codes.
- Shared with your whole team: Vaults are visible to everyone in your organization, so your team researches the same private corpus together.
