Recommended agent uses

3 workflows you could delegate to AI

1

Review zoning proposals and recommend actions

How you could use an agent

Use an agent to assemble application materials, maps, zoning notes, and parcel details into a draft review packet for a land use proposal. It can compare the request with planning rules and prepare a recommendation memo with options or conditions for you to review before anything goes to officials.

Where you stay involved

You decide whether the proposal truly fits the plan, what conditions make sense, and whether approval, denial, or a conditional path is appropriate. You also handle any case that affects rights, permits, or a public decision.

Review level: High

2

Log meeting issues and follow-ups

How you could use an agent

Use an agent to capture notes from public meetings, sort comments by topic, and draft a follow-up list for residents, developers, officials, and other groups. It can also assemble a meeting summary from the record so everyone has a clear written account of what was discussed and what still needs attention.

Where you stay involved

You decide how to answer the issues raised, who should handle each follow-up item, and whether any comment needs a human conversation. You keep control over disputes, policy promises, and anything that could affect the planning process.

Review level: Medium

3

Compare community concerns and plan options

How you could use an agent

Use an agent to collect comments, complaints, and meeting notes from residents, officials, and developers, then draft a side-by-side summary of the planning options people raised. It can help you compare the main impacts and concerns so you have a clear brief before you talk through the choices with others.

Where you stay involved

You decide whether any proposed compromise is workable and whether a rights issue or policy question needs a human mediator or attorney. You also decide which alternatives are worth carrying forward in the planning process.

Review level: High
