ContorAI agents that run the workflows your team shouldn't be stuck doing.
Starting with real estate diligence, environmental screening, and research synthesis. Cited answers from every source that matters — in minutes, not days.
From "I'll need a few days to pull that together"
to "here's the cited report you asked for this morning."
Land Use Intelligence — and beyond
A few of the workflows our agents run today. Every deployment is configured to your sources, jurisdictions, and research needs.
Site Feasibility
Enter an address. Get a cited feasibility report covering the development opportunity, entitlement streamlining options, and major risks.
Environmental Screening
Desktop environmental research for any parcel. Checks contamination databases, species habitat, and hazardous waste sites.
Research Briefing
Ask a question across your organization's published research, standards, and internal knowledge. Get a sourced synthesis — not a chat response.
What changes when agents do the desk research
“Search produces declarative knowledge — it retrieves facts, but not what to do about them.”
— Joseph Miller, Chief AI Officer, Vivun
Look up each parcel on county GIS portal

Review 20 cited feasibility reports
Each report is sourced and cited — your team reviews the work, not redoes it.

Every finding cited. Every source tracked. Ready to review.
Built for teams where decisions depend on deep research
Real Estate Development & Site Diligence
Zoning, entitlements, flood risk, and environmental constraints — scattered across dozens of sources. Every site starts from scratch.
“We evaluate 30+ parcels a quarter. The desk research alone is a full-time job.”
Environmental Consulting & Compliance
Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment desk research, CEQA screening, contamination database review. The records review is the majority of the work — and the majority of the cost.
“$3,500 per Phase 1, and most of it is just pulling records from 8 different databases.”
Technical Associations & Standards Bodies
Members expect authoritative, up-to-date insight. Staff time is consumed answering the same questions from decades of publications.
“Our members ask questions we've already answered — just spread across 200 reports.”
Research Labs & Consortiums
Decades of published research with no synthesis across studies. Gap analysis and portfolio mapping happen in spreadsheets, not systems.
“We funded 400 projects. Nobody knows what we collectively know.”
Boutique Consultancies
Deep expertise, small teams. Can't scale access to institutional knowledge without scaling headcount.
“Our best analyst can only work one engagement at a time.”
Financial Due Diligence
Market comps, regulatory risk factors, comparable transactions. Analysts spend days compiling from dozens of sources into a single memo.
“Every deal starts with a week of desk research before we form a thesis.”

Your team is spending weeks on site screening, six figures a year on desk research, and losing a full day every week to finding information that an agent could synthesize in minutes.
Questions
Contor builds AI agents that run research workflows end-to-end. For site feasibility, you enter an address and our agent queries zoning codes, flood maps, county assessor records, environmental databases, and other sources in parallel — then delivers a cited report in minutes. For research briefings, the agent synthesizes across your organization's full library of publications and internal knowledge. Every finding is traced back to its source.
Chatbots generate answers from training data — you have no way to know if what they say is accurate, current, or grounded in real sources. Contor agents query actual databases, synthesize across your full knowledge base, and cite every finding back to a specific, traceable source. Every claim in a Contor report links to the zoning code section, the flood map panel, the assessor record, or the document it came from. Your team verifies the work by checking the sources — not by guessing whether the AI made something up.
We work with your team to configure workflows for your specific jurisdictions and data sources. For research briefings, we ingest your existing content — reports, publications, presentations, webinar transcripts — wherever it lives today. No migration to a new platform, no staff retraining. Most organizations are running workflows within weeks, not months.
Enterprise search finds documents that contain your keywords. "Chat with your docs" tools summarize individual documents. Contor agents do the actual research work — querying multiple databases, cross-referencing findings, and producing a cited report that synthesizes everything. It's the difference between finding a document and having an analyst compile a briefing from dozens of sources.
Real estate developers and land use consultants who screen dozens of sites per quarter. Environmental consultants who spend days on Phase 1 ESA desk research. Technical associations and research consortiums whose staff answer the same questions from decades of publications. Boutique consultancies that can't scale expertise without scaling headcount. Any team where research and synthesis is the bottleneck.
Every finding links back to its source — the specific zoning code section, the FEMA flood map panel, the county assessor record, or the document in your knowledge base. Citations are model-verified, so they're guaranteed to point to real content in real sources. Nothing is hallucinated or inferred without being labeled as such.
Our site feasibility agent queries 12+ sources including the US Census Geocoder, municipal zoning codes, FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer, CGS seismic hazard maps, county assessor records, USFWS species habitat data (IPaC), state contamination databases (GeoTracker, EnviroStor), NWI wetland inventories, CAL FIRE hazard zones, and more. Sources vary by jurisdiction and are expanding continuously.
A single-site feasibility report typically takes 3–5 minutes. The agent queries all data sources in parallel, cross-references findings, and generates a cited report. Compare that to the 4–8 hours of manual desk research per parcel that most analysts spend on zoning analysis alone. For batch screening (10–20 sites), reports are generated sequentially — expect results in under an hour rather than the 2+ weeks it takes manually.
AI-powered due diligence uses specialized AI agents to automate the desk research portion of feasibility analysis, environmental screening, and regulatory compliance review. Instead of analysts manually navigating government databases, downloading PDFs, and compiling memos, an AI agent runs the entire workflow — querying sources, extracting findings, and producing cited reports. The human expert reviews the output rather than doing the retrieval. Contor is purpose-built for this kind of agentic workflow.
Let's talk.
We believe knowledge workers should spend their time thinking, creating, and connecting with other humans — not drowning in process.
