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.
Whatโs working today โ and where it delivers value.
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)
๐ Data sourced from public APIs and government databases.
This is our LangGraph-powered agentic system, focused on zoning feasibility.
-
๐๏ธ Extractor Agent
- Finds and retrieves the appropriate municipal codebook (HTML or PDF)
- Chunks and indexes it for semantic search
-
๐ 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
- Asks predefined development questions:
๐จ This is not a chatbot. Itโs a deterministic pipeline focused on structured zoning answers.
