This page explains what AI Will Do That CAD (the designer at aiwilldothat.ai/cad/app) does with your data, where its map and terrain data comes from, and the limits of its results. It supplements our Privacy Policy and Terms & Conditions, which also apply.
1. Results are indicative only
The designer produces concept-stage options for early feasibility. Its floor areas, unit layouts, parking layouts, quantities, costs, compliance checks, solar results and financial figures are estimates based on the criteria you enter and simplified models. They are not a planning assessment, a Building Code (NCC) or Australian Standards assessment, an architectural, structural, traffic or engineering design, a cost plan, a valuation, or financial advice. Default rates, prices and rules are illustrative starting points and may not suit your site, market or jurisdiction.
Before you rely on any result to buy land, lodge an application, commit funds or build, have it reviewed by appropriately qualified professionals, such as an architect, town planner, quantity surveyor, traffic engineer, valuer and financial adviser. To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for decisions made using the designer's outputs.
2. Where your designs are stored
Designs, presets and settings are saved in your browser on your device (IndexedDB and local storage). We do not receive them, and there is no account. Clearing your browser's site data, using a private window, or changing device removes them, so export important projects as a project file.
3. When data leaves your device
- Location search: the text you search is sent through our server to the OpenStreetMap Nominatim service. Results are cached on our server.
- OpenStreetMap context and terrain: the latitude and longitude of your chosen location (and a sampling grid around it) are sent through our server to the Overpass API and to Open-Meteo's elevation service. Results are cached on our server.
- NSW lot and planning lookup: for a New South Wales location, its latitude and longitude, and the outline of the lot you select, are sent through our server to the NSW Spatial Services cadastre and the NSW Planning Portal mapping service. Results are cached on our server.
- AI assistant: when you choose Set criteria with AI or Review this option with AI, the brief you typed, or a summary of the option's figures, is sent through our server to Anthropic's Claude API to generate the answer. Do not include personal or confidential information in a brief. AI answers can be wrong: review every value it sets.
- Share links: when you create a share link, a snapshot of the design (including its site boundary, location and any imported context) is stored on our server in Sydney for 90 days. Anyone with the link can open it. We do not list or index shared designs.
For abuse prevention our server records request counts per IP address for short periods. We do not sell this data or use it for advertising. See our Privacy Policy for how to contact us about your data.
4. Data sources and attribution
- Map data © OpenStreetMap contributors, available under the Open Database Licence (ODbL). Location search by Nominatim; context data via the Overpass API.
- Elevation data from Open-Meteo.com (CC BY 4.0), based on the Copernicus DEM © DLR e.V. and © Airbus Defence and Space GmbH, provided under COPERNICUS by the European Union and ESA.
- NSW lot boundaries and road names: NSW Land Parcel and Property Theme © State of New South Wales (Spatial Services, a business unit of the Department of Customer Service NSW). For current information go to spatial.nsw.gov.au. Licensed under CC BY 4.0.
- NSW zoning, floor space ratio and height of buildings: Environmental Planning Instrument layers © State of New South Wales and Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure, from the NSW Planning Portal. Licensed under CC BY 4.0. The designer shows the mapped values; it does not change them.
- 3D rendering uses three.js (MIT licence).
- AI features use Claude by Anthropic.
Third-party data can be incomplete, out of date or inaccurate. Building heights in particular are often missing from OpenStreetMap, in which case a default height is assumed.
The NSW planning maps are a guide to the controls in each environmental planning instrument, not a substitute for it. The full instrument can add clauses, bonuses, exceptions and other controls (such as heritage, flooding or State policies) that the lookup does not show, and a lot can fall under more than one control. Confirm the controls for a property with a planning certificate (section 10.7) from the council or the NSW Planning Portal before relying on them.
5. Standards and guidelines
Default design rules are informed by the NSW Apartment Design Guide and car-park geometry by AS/NZS 2890.1. AI Will Do That is not affiliated with or endorsed by the NSW Government, Standards Australia or any other body, and the designer does not reproduce those documents. Always use the current version of each standard or guideline that applies to your project.
6. Fair use
Location search, map import, terrain import, the NSW lot and planning lookup, the AI assistant and share links are free but rate-limited to keep them available for everyone. Automated or bulk use is not permitted.
