We are at an unprecedented inflection point within the tech sector, especially within AEC, from the much-needed federal funding for infrastructure to the confluence of exponential technological growth. Within AEC, we can now access multiple services and leverage AI, visualization, and data science. Here is an example I bring together: design, artificial intelligence, GIS, and visualization. An engineer can access all this from within a design environment of their choosing and view the results in a web browser. I connect Google Maps, Google Street View, Google’s experimental 3D tiles, and OpenAI’s Chat GPT here. All these services are accessible within the design environment.

AI as Copilot, not pilot
Data are everywhere these days, right? But sometimes, it’s like having all this data with no real way to make sense of it. It’s like being out at sea and not having any water to drink! Well, here’s where things get interesting! In this cool Proof of Concept, I connect a bunch of different Map Application Programming Interfaces (API) APIs with OpenAI’s Large Language Model. What does that mean? It means that engineers like you can now access a whole bunch of different data sources right within your preferred design software. And hey, I even get the Street Views from Google Maps! Check out the video below to see just how powerful this combination can be!
