Archie is an intelligent assistant designed to simplify code compliance. It helps users search, understand, and apply building codes and regulations by processing natural language queries.
Archie supports rules and standards across multiple jurisdictions — such as Australian, UK, Eurocodes — and delivers logic-driven responses with citation links to original sources.
Archie is aimed at architects, engineers, project managers, and compliance teams, anyone who frequently navigate complex building codes.
Using retrieval-augmented generative AI (RAG), Archie can reference specific sections of technical code documents, summarise standards, and provide contextual explanations tailored to project needs, with full traceability. It also learns from firm-specific rules and usage patterns, becoming a bespoke legal assistant over time.
