Let's be honest about AI in site sourcing: a rapid-fire summary from a generic chatbot is worth very little if you then have to spend the afternoon fact-checking it yourself. Real speed isn't about how quickly an AI can draft something; it's about how quickly you can trust what it's given you and move on to the next decision.
That's the problem we set out to solve, and it's why we've built the AI Assistant differently from the AI tools you've probably tried already.
An AI Assistant Built for Land Acquisition, Not Bolted On
The AI Assistant is now live inside LandInsight for Unlimited subscribers. It's platform-native, meaning it activates the moment you save a site, and it's anchored exclusively to LandTech's own institutional-grade property data rather than the open internet.
You don't need to learn how to prompt it. Tell it your project in plain English, and our in-house property planners' built-in logic does the rest, translating your goals against the site's real constraints. No advanced prompt engineering, no separate AI subscription, no token meter to watch.
Every Insight, Backed by a Source You Can Click
This is the part worth trying for yourself. Where a generic chatbot gives you a confident-sounding conclusion and leaves you to verify it independently, every planning document from the AI Assistant carries source-level citations built directly into the document. Click through, and you're looking at the actual local planning authority record behind the claim, not taking it on trust.
That's what removes the double-checking tax that makes most AI site summaries more hassle than they're worth. The AI Assistant handles genuinely difficult planning logic instantly and shows its working as it does it:
- Applying the NPPF's paragraph 11(d) tilted balance test correctly to a site
- Separating current flood zone designations from future climate projections, rather than blending the two errors
- Reconciles conflicting data—explaining a site's opposing positive and negative SHLAA designations rather than arbitrarily picking one
A Document That Keeps Up With You
Planning documents rarely stay static, and neither does the AI Assistant's output. Once it's generated a first draft, you can keep refining it in place: adjust your scheme, challenge a constraint, or add a new requirement, and the document updates with you. No exporting to another tool, no starting again from scratch, no hunting back through an old chat thread for an answer you already worked out.
It's worth being clear about what this is, and isn't, for. The AI Assistant is designed to accelerate the early stages of site sourcing and planning documents, helping you qualify opportunities faster. It's not there to replace the judgement your team brings to a high-value, final-stage transaction, and it was never meant to.
Try It On Your Own Saved Sites
The AI Assistant is available now, at no extra cost, as part of your LandInsight Unlimited subscription. Stop paying for a separate AI subscription and managing yet another token meter. Save a site, describe your project, and see the citations for yourself.
