Use case
Track regulators.
Read guidance before the press release.
EDPB, FTC, SEC, ICO, CISA, central banks, industry bodies - every regulator publishes rule updates on a static news page first. Zikit watches that page 24/7 and AI-summarizes the change to your legal or policy Slack.
Live data
Live policy / terms-page catches from regulated vendors we already watch
Why a static-page watcher beats a mailing list
Regulator newsletters are noisy - conference invites and retirement announcements buried with the things that actually change how you operate. The regulator’s own news index page is less noisy but requires manual checking.
Zikit watches the index page, flags only entries tagged as guidance / rules / enforcement, and AI-summarizes the substance. Your legal team reads 30 words instead of 30 pages.
