AI agent for landscape architects
Maintenance Plan and Handoff Agent
Owners receive a clear care plan and follow-up, and early problems are caught while still under warranty.
What it does
The project opens, the owner has no maintenance plan, and the first summer a third of the shrubs die from over or underwatering. This agent builds a maintenance schedule from the plant list and irrigation plan, by season and plant type. It tracks the handoff meeting, then checks in with the owner at 3 and 12 months for plant health and care. When problems appear, such as dead plants, drainage or irrigation faults, it adjusts the guidance and flags warranty items. You approve each message to the owner. Edge case: a plant in an area where the owner changed use, for example turf converted to events, gets care guidance matched to the new use.
How it works
Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.
