Is AI the Site Selection Tool of the Future?

Some say no.

But not all AI looks like ChatGPT.

While AI tools like ChatGPT offer a useful starting point, they are not the full extent of AI's potential in site selection. Sitehunt shows how AI can be specialized and tailored to meet the precise needs of economic developers, significantly enhancing their accuracy and effectiveness.

Watch this demo of Sitehunt's new RFI response tool to see site selection AI in action:

  1. You receive an RFI and upload it to Sitehunt.
  2. Sitehunt automatically identifies and understands the project criteria. Some criteria are just informational, while others are required. Sitehunt understands the difference.
  3. Sitehunt then loads your sites and your community's demographics, workforce, housing, and childcare data, and ranks the sites against the project criteria.
  4. Your sites are scored against the project. Some sites are immediately and automatically excluded because they don't meet the required criteria. Others that almost meet the criteria are included with lower scores.
  5. Sitehunt packages up your site response, including a cover page, cover letter, site and community marketing materials (which Sitehunt also makes automatically), and demographic information.
  6. You win projects. Or, at the very least, you don't waste time submitting for projects you were never going to win in the first place.

Is AI the site selection tool of the future?

I say yes. Sitehunt is going to revolutionize the site selection process with AI.
