assembl OS for architecture.
One record for an architecture practice: projects, consent pre-checks by Building Code clause, tenders, site visits and the Studio tools, with five specialists who read official New Zealand pages before they draft.

Try it on the Example. Nothing here is real.
This is architecture OS running on Lantern Row Architects, a fictional business. Move between the tabs with the arrow keys, and approve a draft to see what changes. Nothing is sent.
assembl OS for architecture
Experimental · built first; the public version runs on an Example practice with live NZ data
ExampleLantern Row Architects · Fictional, Tāmaki Makaurau, Ōtautahi and Pōneke. A made-up practice of about eight people with three projects: a finished reading pavilion, a hall under construction and a house addition in detailed design. Every record here is simulated: no real business, people or data.

What this OS does
Live · Open-Meteo model data and the GeoNet catalogue
Live site conditions
Wind, gusts, rain and nearby earthquakes at each project site, fetched live and stamped with the time.
Model values for the site’s grid cell, not a site weather station. Magnitude is not the shaking at the site.
Official sources
No working screen for this module in the Example yet.
The pack
What this OS adds for your industry.
Each module shows what it can do today. Proposed means designed, not built.
Experimental · real rules on Example projectsExampleDraft
Consent pre-check by clause
Reads each project record and flags the Building Code clauses an architect should check before the set is lodged. Rawa drafts the RFI answers.
Flags clauses for an architect to review. It never says a design complies, and the council decides a consent.
Live · real GETS notices from assembl’s knowledge pipeline
Tender hunt
New GETS notices from the last 30 days, ranked for an architecture practice, with a batch of near-identical notices folded into one.
A lead to check, not a recommendation to bid. Open the notice on GETS before acting.

Specialist desk
Ask Ata, Rawa, Kaupapa, Ārai or Pai. Each reads official New Zealand pages live, drafts, then checks its draft against them.

The Workforce
Specialist agents, grounded in official sources.
Workforce is the agent team inside the OS. Each specialist reads official New Zealand pages live, cites the source and date for every claim and fact-checks its own draft. Drafts are not legal advice.
