Product Development

I researched AI’s current climate and architecture capabilities.  However, I wanted to learn more from people working in those industries.  Therefore, I interviewed an architect, and a  Fire Captain for the State of California.

I learned that fire departments currently use AI in cameras that detect fires when they start. For example, the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection uses a program called ALERTCalifornia. 

I also learned that architects currently use programs, such as Urban Footprint, which allows them to see current and future climate risks for a certain property. They also use some 3D modeling programs to do calculations. However, those modeling programs do not currently address climate resilience.  

These interviews confirmed that the Adaptix AI product does not exist and I wanted to create it.

Next I designed a minimum viable product that combines AI climate prediction technology with architecture design technology to allow architects to efficiently create climate resistant designs. For the 3D modeling component, I used 5D Planner to portray an architect’s draft design and the AI created climate resilient design.  I also used Google Drawings to demonstrate how the buttons and comments would appear in the product and how a user would interact with the product.
