Phoenix based AIAEC, the technology company embedding AI into the architecture, engineering, and construction lifecycle to support smarter planning, today announced recent gains in customer adoption of its flagship platform across numerous use cases. The announcement comes after four years of developing an AI platform that is changing how teams access project information, reducing research that once took weeks to minutes.
ChatAEC has been adopted by the Town of Gilbert and Butler Design Group. Both use cases show how organizations with very different roles in the development process use the platform to inform planning, site analysis, feasibility, and other early project decisions.
Ali Fakih, founder and chief executive officer of AIAEC and Sustainability Engineering Group, said the team built ChatAEC knowing the same underlying information was critical to people making decisions at different points in the development process. He noted that play is now showing up across municipalities, architecture teams, developers, and end users, each coming to the platform with a different question but all needing accurate information quickly to make better decisions about what comes next.
The Town of Gilbert is a public municipality running pilot programs to improve internal workflows and planning. Butler Design Group is using ChatAEC in the early stages of its projects to properly handle feasibility assessment and site analysis.
ChatAEC was built specifically for the zoning, land use, and regulatory questions that shape early project decisions. Rather than relying on broad, open ended AI models, the platform retrieves and interprets jurisdiction level information and connects its answers directly to source material. Users get site specific answers and generate due diligence reports in minutes, helping them identify potential constraints, evaluate opportunities, and move into planning with a clearer understanding of what a site allows.
The platform is currently available in Arizona, with expansion planned in Georgia, Colorado, Texas, North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, and Idaho.
