ChatAEC is an AI-powered zoning and due diligence platform built by AIAEC for architects, engineers, developers, and city planners. Users enter a parcel address or APN and receive instant, source-backed answers to zoning questions including permitted uses, setbacks, overlays, and feasibility, plus automated due diligence reports in minutes.

How is ChatAEC different from general AI tools like ChatGPT?

Unlike general-purpose AI tools that retrieve potentially outdated information, ChatAEC uses patent-pending technology built specifically for zoning and land use regulation, linking all outputs directly to current jurisdiction-level sources. This makes ChatAEC answers defensible and source-backed, not hallucinated.

What states does ChatAEC cover?

ChatAEC is currently available in Arizona, with expansion planned to Georgia, Colorado, Texas, North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, and Idaho.

ChatAEC is used by land developers evaluating parcels, civil engineers checking early feasibility, land use attorneys preparing submittals, and CRE professionals at firms including CBRE and Unified CRE.

How long does a ChatAEC due diligence report take?

ChatAEC generates structured zoning and feasibility reports in minutes, a process that typically takes human researchers hours or longer when done manually.

Is ChatAEC replacing planners and engineers?

No. ChatAEC is designed to augment professionals, not replace them. It handles the time-consuming early research phase including sorting through zoning codes, overlays, and PDFs, so engineers, planners, and developers can focus on higher-value judgment and decision-making.

4. Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies

We and our service providers may use cookies and similar technologies to collect usage and browser information about how you use our Site. The technologies we use for this automatic data collection may include cookies and web beacons that permit us to verify system and server integrity and generate statistics around the popularity of certain content. We process the information collected through such technologies, which may include or be combined with Personal Information, to help operate certain features of our Site, to enhance your experience through personalization, and to help us better understand the features of our Site that you and other users are most interested in.

Website Delivery and Appearance

We may use third party providers to enable certain customer interaction opportunities, content delivery (like audio or video), or other service capabilities. Examples include, but are not limited to, the following functionality:

Content Delivery: We partner with service providers to host our Site and deliver specific content in support of our Services. For example, we use Google Fonts to serve fonts on our Site. For more information about how Google collects and uses your data, visit Google's Privacy Policy.
Chat Functionality: Our Services utilize a chatbot powered by OpenAI to enable searches. This chatbot relies on generative AI to provide you with answers to your questions. When you engage with the chatbot, we will automatically collect and may share certain personal information (such as personal identifiers, usage information, and message content) with the vendor in order to provide the chat tool.

Website Analytics and Session Replay

We use analytics and session replay services, that use cookies and other technologies that collect your Personal Information, to assist us with analyzing our Site traffic and site usage to optimize, maintain, and secure our Site and inform subsequent business decisions (including, e.g., advertising). These include, but are not limited to, the following third-party services:

Google Analytics: To learn more about how Google uses data, visit Google's Privacy Policy and Google's page on How Google uses data from sites or apps that use our services. You may download the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on for each web browser you use, but this does not prevent the use of other analytics tools.
Meta Pixels: We use Meta pixels to track user activity on our Site and improve downstream offerings, including interest-based advertising for our services and those of our partners and service providers.

Interest-Based Advertising

We may also allow or enable third parties to collect Personal Information to provide their interest-based advertising on behalf of our products and services, or their own. Interest-based advertising occurs when advertisements are shown to you based on information collected from your online interactions over time and across multiple websites, devices, or online services that you visit or use. Some companies may engage in cross-context behavioral advertising to predict your preferences and show you advertisements that are most likely to be of interest or relevant to you. We do not control these third parties' collection or use of your information for these purposes, or the opt-out options they may individually offer you via their terms, conditions, and privacy policies. If you have any questions about an advertisement or other targeted content, you should contact the responsible provider directly. Examples of the third-party service providers we engage to serve interest-based advertisements include ZoomInfo, HubSpot, Facebook advertising services, Google Ads (including Google Dynamic Remarketing, Google Tag, and Google AdWords Conversion), and LinkedIn marketing solutions (including LinkedIn Ads and Analytics).

To manage your preferences with respect to these technologies, you can:

Customize your browser settings to refuse all or some browser cookies, or to alert you when websites set or access cookies. If you disable certain cookies, please note that some parts of our Site may not function properly. These settings may be lost and require reconfiguration if you delete your cookies.
Block the collection and use of your information by online platforms and ad tech companies for the purpose of serving interest-based advertising by visiting the opt out pages of the self-regulatory programs of which those companies are members: National Advertising Initiative and Digital Advertising Alliance (or the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance, if you are located in the European Economic Area). Please note that even if you opt out of interest-based advertising, you may still see "contextual" ads which are based on the context of what you are looking at on the websites and pages you visit.
Review and execute any provider-specific instructions to customize your preferences or opt-out of certain processing, including interest-based advertising, by third party service providers. For example, to opt-out of this type of advertising by Google, customize your ad preferences, or limit Google's collection or use of your data, visit Google's Safety Center and Google's Ad Settings and follow Google's personalized ad opt-out instructions.
