๐Ÿง  DevelopIQ

DevelopIQ is an AI-powered tool for real estate developers to instantly surface zoning and development constraints โ€” starting with automated site investigation reports.

We help developers, brokers, and land teams stop wasting hours on PDF scavenger hunts and city planner calls.


โœ… Current Capabilities (MVP)

Whatโ€™s working today โ€” and where it delivers value.

๐Ÿ“ 1. Property Overview

Given an address or parcel ID, we fetch and aggregate:

  • Parcel metadata (location, size, owner, use class)
  • Market-level data (job trends, housing supply, demographics)

๐Ÿ” Data sourced from public APIs and government databases.


๐Ÿ“˜ 2. Zoning Codebook Intelligence

This is our LangGraph-powered agentic system, focused on zoning feasibility.

  • ๐Ÿ—‚๏ธ Extractor Agent

    • Finds and retrieves the appropriate municipal codebook (HTML or PDF)
    • Chunks and indexes it for semantic search
  • ๐Ÿ” Querier Agent

    • Asks predefined development questions:
      • What are the permitted uses for this site?
      • What are the setbacks and height limits?
      • What is the rezoning process?
      • Are there historical overlays or design commissions?
    • Returns answers (with source citations) based on zoning code

๐Ÿšจ This is not a chatbot. Itโ€™s a deterministic pipeline focused on structured zoning answers.


๐Ÿ”„ System Architecture

/frontend          โ† Next.js (React, Tailwind) app for UI
/codebook_agent    โ† LangGraph backend (agents + codebook parsing logic)
/util_python_lib   โ† Utility scripts (data ingestion, API pipelines, needs cleanup)
  • Hosted on LangGraph Platform
  • Data currently flows one-way from static sources
  • No user-upload support yet (coming)

๐Ÿงช Try It Locally

Frontend

cd frontend
npm install
cp .env.example .env.local
npm run dev

Frontend runs on http://localhost:3000

Backend

Use Langsmith or LangGraph local dev mode.

๐ŸŽฏ What Weโ€™re Not Yet Doing

  • โŒ No AI-generated proformas or valuations (yet)
  • โŒ No user-uploaded documents (yet)
  • โŒ No live code conflict detection (yet)

This is MVP 0.1 โ€” validating structured site investigation automation.


๐Ÿ‘€ Whatโ€™s Next

  • Integrate parcel lookup with zoning agent output
  • Add surface-level red flag detection (e.g. โ€œrequires rezoningโ€, โ€œ2-year entitlementโ€)
  • Merge historical overlays and flood/topo layers
  • Create downloadable SIR (PDF or markdown)
