"The Trusted Source for Code Compliance"
Problem: The Rent is Too Damn High.
Permitting buildings and homes takes months and months across many back-and-forth cycles. The majority of time, permits are "idle"/queueing. Liability concerns prevents the government permit-issuing entities from telling residents and developers how to actually fix problems quickly and efficiently. They instead submit into the black box and a month later get another ambiguous comment.
It’s information asymmetry that both sides actually want solved.
LLMs, Computer Vision and semantic search change what's possible.
Using AI + LLMs to make permitting easier -> make homes and buildings more affordable
