AI agent for landscape architects
Site Analysis Data Compile Agent
A complete site analysis base with known gaps
What it does
At the start of a project, landscape architects need site data on topography, soils, hydrology, climate, sun, vegetation and utilities, and gathering it from many sources takes days. This agent pulls these from public GIS, soil surveys and climate data and organizes them into a site analysis base. It then checks each layer for gaps and date. Data older than five years is flagged. If a layer is missing or outdated, it notes what must be collected on site, such as a new topographic survey or soil tests, and adds it to the field task list, then checks again once new data arrives. The landscape architect reviews the package before design starts. Edge case: flood zone status is always checked, even when the site looks high and dry, because flood maps change and surprises are costly.
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.
