Chat — ArchitectPurple AI

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

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 current project stage and recent decisions"
• "What algorithms have been run and what did they find?"

Setting a Project ID

In the top-right input field, paste your Project ID (e.g. RES-SMITHCO-2026-001). When set:

• Responses are scoped to your project
• The AI has context about your project stage, brief, and elements
• Chat runs are automatically logged in your project's activity

Understanding responses

Each response shows:

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

Best practices

• Be specific: Include building type, number of storeys, location, and purpose
• Jurisdiction matters: Say "UK" or "Dubai" — compliance rules differ significantly
• Iterate: Follow-up questions work well; the conversation is stateful within a session
• Paste GIS results: Copy outputs from the GIS page into chat for richer contextual analysis
• Start a project first: Set a Project ID before asking project-specific questions — the AI will tell you if context is missing
