Abstract Background

AI Consultation Analysis: Revolutionising planning consultations

Save time and money with AI

We know analysing responses is time-consuming. Let our cutting-edge, AI-powered consultation analysis service save you weeks of time and thousands of pounds analysing lengthy consultation data.


Analysing and tagging comments manually is an arduous task, and for long consultations like Local Plans, this can take 100s of hours. To complicate matters, manual processing also introduces errors.


Our AI Consultation Analysis tool analyses your data overnight, saving you over 80% of your time or costs. It automatically organises and processes all comments captured in your digital engagements into a table. Each comment is sorted into your pre-defined topics or policies, a process called deductive coding. If a comment is about multiple topics, the table shows all relevant categories. It also provides summaries and whether the respondent is supportive or in objection to each policy or topic.

You can even create accurate, automatic reports of themes and statistics in the written feedback, to use in your Statement of Community
Involvement (SCI).


What’s more, we know that data security is critical to your business, but our customers can have peace of mind. 


Our practices and systems have been rigorously tested by independent cybersecurity experts, ensuring we are taking every precaution against hacking and phishing attacks. Using our proprietary AI system ensures your data is secure, not used to train AI, and never shares personal or sensitive data with AI. 

Available to PlaceBuilder subscribers and as a separate service for new customers.
