Municipalities adopting shot clock laws for permitting timelines are piloting AI to reduce delays and improve consistency. Clariti launched Clariti AI Studio, offering customized workshops for local governments to demonstrate how AI can reduce drudge work and streamline permitting and review processes. Clariti’s plan review tool, CivCheck, has reduced plan review times by 70% in Honolulu. The initiative targets cities that recognize inefficiencies in permitting and approvals but lack clear methods to streamline operations.
