SoundThinking Announces SafetySmart® Field Agent™; the New AI Layer for Connected Platform Intelligence
Summary: SoundThinking today announced SafetySmart® Field Agent™, the AI layer that transforms large unique public safety data sets into actionable intelligence.
FREMONT, Calif., June 23, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SoundThinking, Inc. (NASDAQ:SSTI), a leading public safety technology company, today announced the SafetySmart® Field Agent™, the AI layer that transforms large unique data sets of public safety data into actionable intelligence. Field Agent connects billions of disparate data points to help make public safety intelligence more accessible, actionable, and embedded in daily operations.
Public safety agencies generate and collect enormous volumes of operational data, but extracting actionable intelligence from that information has historically required specialized tools, trained analysts, manual exports, spreadsheets, and significant time and effort. Field Agent is designed to dramatically simplify that process by allowing users to ask questions and receive immediate, intelligence-driven responses through either text or voice.
For example, Field Agent helps users quickly understand gunfire patterns, trends, and activity in the communities they serve. Users can also use Field Agent to generate operational work products directly from agency data, such as pre-shift briefings, command staff reports, deployment-planning materials, community and City Council summaries, grant narratives, maps, and charts in minutes rather than hours.
"For decades, getting actionable intelligence out of public safety data meant trained analysts, manual exports, and hours of effort. Field Agent does that work in minutes," said Ralph Clark, President and CEO of SoundThinking. "It is our most ambitious AI release yet, turning public safety data into connected intelligence that agencies can act on responsibly with human oversight and with a 25-year legacy of trust built in."
Unlike general-purpose AI assistants, Field Agent is purpose-built for public safety, drawing on ShotSpotter and related SafetySmart data to support operational decision-making. It is designed not only to answer questions, but also to help agencies transform information into operational intelligence. Looking ahead, Field Agent is expected to be able to leverage proprietary SafetySmart data, including expansive gunshot detection and investigative data sets combined with integrated vehicle intelligence, along with third-party data sources.
"Field Agent essentially places an analyst in the pocket of every operator," said Commissioner Andrés Romero, Director of Video Surveillance, Analytics, and Urban Intelligence, National Police of Uruguay. "In public safety, the challenge is often not the lack of data, but the time required to turn that data into actionable intelligence. By allowing personnel to query operational information in natural language, Field Agent acts as a force multiplier that helps agencies make faster, more informed decisions when time matters most."
Field Agent is designed around responsible AI principles, with human-in-the-loop oversight foundational to the product's design. Its outputs are intended as decision-support tools that authorized personnel review and validate before action is taken.
Field Agent is currently in beta with over 20 ShotSpotter agencies, with broader availability targeted for later in 2026. English, Spanish, and Portuguese languages are supported out-of-the-box. Additional details regarding packaging, pricing, and general availability will be announced at a later date.
