ArchitectPurple — AI Chat

Route: /chat
Purpose: Natural language AI assistant that routes queries to the right tool automatically

3.1 What you can ask

ArchitectPurple understands architectural intent. Examples:

Design queries:

• "Audit my floor plan for fire escape compliance in the UK"
• "Generate a room programme for a 3-bed apartment, total 95sqm"
• "What passive solar strategies work for a south London site?"

Technical queries:

• "What is the typical floor-to-floor height for a residential tower with raised floors?"
• "Explain the difference between LOD 300 and LOD 400 in IFC terms"
• "What are the Part M requirements for accessible entrance ramps?"

Project queries (with Project ID set):

• "What elements have been created for this project?"
• "Summarise the journey stage and recent decisions"
• "What algorithms have been run and what did they find?"

3.2 Setting a Project ID

In the top-right input field, paste your Project ID. When set:

• Responses are linked to your graph
• The AI has context about your project elements and stage
• Results are saved as graph nodes

3.3 Understanding responses

Each response shows:

• Main answer — the AI's response or tool output
• Tool used badge — shows which tool was called (e.g. floor-plan-audit, site-analysis)
• Journey stage badge — current lifecycle stage of the project
• Suggested next steps — algorithm suggestions (click badge to navigate)

3.4 Best Practices

• Be specific: Include building type, number of storeys, location, and purpose
• Use jurisdiction: Say "UK" or "Dubai" — compliance rules differ
• Iterate: Ask follow-up questions; the conversation is stateful within a session
• Paste GIS results: Copy outputs from GIS page into chat for richer contextual analysis
