AI bot techniques for architects

Practical, low-risk ways architects, designers and project architects are using AI bots. Each one keeps a person in charge of the result.

1. Program and brief writing

Turn client interviews into a space program table with areas and adjacencies.

Ask for a checklist of code topics to research (occupancy, egress, accessibility), then read the adopted code yourself.

Draft competition and proposal narratives in your firm voice.

Turn OAC meeting notes into minutes with action items and owners.

Ready-made versions are on the starter prompts page.

Confidentiality: never paste client, patient, student, employee or customer personal data (PII/PHI) into a public bot. Use tools your organization has approved, with contract terms that cover data use, or remove identifiers first.
Verify everything: bots can invent citations, case law, statistics, doses, code sections and quotes that look real. Check each one against the original source before you rely on it.
Not professional advice: these tutorials teach you how to use AI tools. They are not legal, medical, tax, financial or engineering advice.
A human professional is responsible: the licensed or accountable person reviews, decides and signs. The bot drafts; you own the result.
Prices change: we don't list product prices. Check each vendor's official pricing page.
