How Permitify uses AI[1][2]
Permitify reviews architectural and engineering plans against local building codes and flags compliance issues before submission. It also runs AI site analysis that pulls zoning, overlays, land use rules, environmental constraints, utilities, and access into one view with source-backed answers for go/no-go decisions.
- • Uploads of construction plan PDFs return an AI-generated code compliance report, with a turnaround of within 24 hours for builders
- • Cross-references local jurisdiction codes and zoning to surface setback, height, and overlay issues early
- • AI site analysis consolidates zoning, land use, environmental, utility, and access data with source-backed answers for land development feasibility
AI type: AI co-pilot / LLM-based document and code analysis
Legacy platform
Key numbers[2][3]
- • 1000+ permits processed (per Permitify builders page)
- • Proven to save 20% on time to permit (per Permitify builders page)

Deepblocks
AI-powered feasibility and zoning analytics platform that helps developers and investors evaluate development opportunities across 300+ US cities.
Deepblocks digitizes zoning and market data, then runs it through AI to screen parcels, model feasibility, and answer market questions in plain language across U.S. cities.
Archistar
Archistar combines computer vision, machine learning, and generative AI to analyze sites against zoning and planning rules, then auto-generate 3D building concepts (duplexes, townhouses, apartments, mixed-use, commercial). Its AI PreCheck tool reviews uploaded design files for code and zoning compliance, returning standardized pass/fail reports within minutes.

Anori
Anori is an AI platform for the pre-development phase of real estate, spun out of Alphabet's X moonshot factory in 2026. It unifies zoning, building codes, design files, and financials so developers, architects, cities, and investors can co-create projects and clear compliance faster, aiming to cut development timelines from years to weeks.
Anori's AI ingests the multi-modal data behind a development project, from dense municipal zoning codes and building codes to architectural CAD files and financial pro formas, and synthesizes it into a single dynamic project model. The platform parses zoning and geospatial constraints to solve for compliance upfront and lets developers, architects, cities, and investors test scenarios in real time to see how each decision shifts cost, design, and regulatory feasibility.
