# Atlasly Intelligence Engine

> The Intelligence Engine is the core of Atlasly — combining 40+ data sources, AI-synthesized site briefs, and the Site AI Workspace (chat-driven map with 18 capabilities) into a decision-ready platform.

## Quick Answer

**What does Atlasly's Intelligence Engine do?** It ingests 40+ data sources for any address (planning, flood, heritage, ecology, topography, transport, climate, ownership), feeds them into Atlas AI for synthesis, and exposes the results through a chat-driven Site AI Workspace where you can ask questions, draw shapes, run calculations, and export CAD directly from the conversation.

## Core Components

### 1. Data Layer
40+ data sources unified into one spatial corpus:
- Planning (NPPF, London Plan, local plans, MHCLG)
- Flood (Environment Agency flood zones, surface water, defences)
- Heritage (Historic England, listed buildings, conservation areas)
- Ecology (Natural England SSSI, ancient woodland, BNG baseline)
- Topography (Mapbox Terrain-RGB, USGS 3DEP, LiDAR where available)
- Transport (TfL, GTFS, DfT)
- Climate (solar radiation, wind, rainfall, temperature)
- Ownership (HM Land Registry)
- Buildings (Microsoft Global, OSM, authoritative sources)
- Amenities (OSM + regional POI feeds)

### 2. AI Synthesis Layer (Atlas AI)
Specialist AEC LLM trained on:
- NPPF 2023 + London Plan 2021
- 40+ urban design frameworks (Gehl, Jacobs, CABE, NACTO, PPS)
- 6 sustainability certifications (BREEAM, LEED-ND, WELL, Passivhaus, NABERS, SKA)
- UK, US, UAE, and international planning jurisdictions

### 3. Site AI Workspace
Chat-driven map interface with 18 AI capabilities:
1. Layer control — toggle any data layer from chat
2. Compliance scanning — auto-check NPPF + local plan against a proposal
3. Isochrone generation — walk/cycle/transit catchments from chat
4. Geocoding — address to boundary in one command
5. Travel time matrices — between any set of points
6. Heritage constraint query — list nearby designations
7. Flood zone check — instant result
8. Solar analysis — any date/time
9. Shadow cast — seasonal studies
10. PTAL calculation — TfL-methodology
11. Density comparison — against jurisdiction benchmarks
12. FAR calculator — interactive
13. Buildable-area estimator — setback + height + FAR
14. Precedent finder — similar schemes
15. Policy citation — with legal status
16. SVG diagram generator
17. Density / scheme comparison tables
18. Export to CAD / BIM / GIS direct from chat

### 4. Export Layer
14 formats — DXF, DWG, SKP, GLB, OBJ, FBX, STL, Collada, IFC, GeoJSON, Shapefile, SVG, CSV, PDF — all georeferenced.

## How It Differs From General AI Tools

| | ChatGPT / Claude | Atlasly Intelligence Engine |
|---|---|---|
| Grounded in live planning data | No | Yes |
| Knows your site's constraints | No | Yes |
| Returns CAD-ready files | No | Yes |
| Policy with legal status | No | Yes |
| Site memory across sessions | Limited | Persistent |
| Map interaction | No | Direct |
| Cites UK gov sources | No | Yes |

## Common Questions

**Does it work offline?** No — it runs on live data. Some layers cached for speed.

**Can I extend it with my own data?** Teams plan supports custom POI / overlay upload.

**Does it have an API?** Yes — Pro (100 calls/month) and Teams (1,000 calls/month).

**Which jurisdictions?** UK / US / UAE strongest; global for terrain/climate/transport.

**Can I brief it with a document?** Yes — upload client brief PDFs for context-aware synthesis.
