FirstTwo vs Notate

Providing situational intelligence in the first moments of response.

FirstTwo is a Seattle based company providing a location-based service for law enforcement. Our goal and mission are to make law enforcement smarter and safer by providing situational intelligence in the first moments of response.

Today law enforcement is limited in how it obtains key information quickly, resulting in sub-optimal decisions. Our product allows law enforcement professionals a means to view public and private information in an efficient and visual manner based on situations they encounter. These could be while on patrol while following up on investigations or during tactical situations.

The first two product is free for trial. We have worked closely with agencies to develop a product that was designed by law enforcement for law enforcement. We invite you and your personnel to try out our tool and see how it can benefit your agency. This product is restricted to law enforcement agencies and can be accessed on any device such as a cellphone, tablet or desktop computer. You can signup at http://www.firsttwo.com.

FirstTwo was founded by Niraj Shah and Dave McAlpin, deep experts in information about people. Niraj Shah co-founded Intelius, income, and Talentwise which had a combined revenue close to $1 Billion since inception. Niraj recently sold Intelius and income to private equity in July of 2015. Niraj also recently sold TalentWise to a strategic backed by Goldman Sachs in January of 2016 to create the largest background check company in the US.

Use Notion to store and manage your Intercom Help Centers, use Notate to sync them.

Notate was born out of a frustration that myself and others building our own products shared.

We wanted to use Intercom to share our help documentation, but we used Notion to document everything about what we were building, including our help docs! Copying across from Notion to Intercom was becoming more and more tedious, so I started looking for a better solution. I couldn't find one, and decided to build my own.

That's where Notate comes in. With Notate, you can continue working and collaborating on your documents with your team in Notion while also leveraging the brilliant Help Centers product offered by Intercom.

All that's needed is to connect Notion and Intercom to Notate, pick the page you use to store your help documentation, and from there Notate will sync your documents to Intercom.

If you already have an Intercom Help Center, Notate can export your Help Center to Notion, letting you get started straight away, without having to manually copy-paste your articles into Notion, or vice versa.

Some handy features:
1. Import your articles any time from the Notate app.

2. Automatically have your articles synced to Intercom periodically.

3. Pause Notate sync either in the Notate app or in Notion so you can draft your articles without fear of releasing unfinished work.

4. Connect multiple Intercom workspaces to your Notion workspace, allowing you to manage multiple help centers in one go.

This is just the start for Notate and there are lots of plans in the works for improvements over the coming months, so stay tuned!

Notate is in active development, so I'd love to hear your thoughts and get your feedback!
