Understand your city the way people live it.
GUS is the AI platform city teams use to ask any question about their city and get a clear answer back. Social, spatial and economic signals fused on one neighbourhood grid, written up in plain language, every claim cited to its source.
GUS. One source of truth for every city question.
Ask in plain language. Map the city across eight views. Build a brief, capture what the map alone cannot see. Every tool inside GUS reads from the same enriched dataset, so satisfaction, demographics, economics and your own documents always agree. Two people, two questions, one consistent answer.
GUS Chat
Type a question, watch the agent narrate, read the cited answer with an interactive map appended where one helps.
GUS, a platform of tools, built for the work city teams actually do.
One enriched dataset. One shared neighbourhood grid. The same citations behind every answer.
GUS Chat
Ask the city anything in any language. A horizontal data agent picks the path, chains the lookups, writes a cited answer. Interactive map, chart, table — appended below the narrative when the answer needs them. Live narration while it works.
Socio-Economic Atlas
Your city in eight views. Insights, satisfaction, community, pulse, urban intelligence, spatial economics, vulnerability, plus an AI assistant that follows you across every one. Every view on the same neighbourhood grid, so they always agree.
GUS Map
A full GIS workspace, paired with an AI Map Assistant pinned bottom-right. Build layers by hand or just ask — "filter to top 25% by floor area then recolour with a teal ramp". Every change undoable.
GUS Consult
State a planning goal in plain English. GUS finds the relevant documents in your library, asks a short chip brief, shows an editable plan card. Approve it. Get a structured, sourced report. Refine in plain language. PDF, Word, PowerPoint.
Data Management
Bring your own data in. Spatial files, tabular data, documents, imagery. Drop them in, tag them, and they are ready for every tool to use.
GUS Fieldnotes
Tell a story with the map. Write each scene by hand or generate the whole sequence from a topic. The map flies between locations as readers scroll. Publish as a scroll, a slideshow, a PDF, or a public link in one click.
GUS SQUID
Our Site Qualification and Urban Investment Discovery tool. Click a location, pick a business type, get a 0 to 100 suitability score backed by population, activity, competitors and resident satisfaction. The brief writes itself, ready for the IC pack.
GUS DAT
Our Development Assessment Tool. Pin a plot, pull its regulations, run a five-stage assessment from site to compliance to impact, and ship a Development Control Report your committee can sign. Two operating modes, one audit trail.
GUS Plan Assessment
Our strategic plan evaluation tool. Upload a development plan, score it across land, people, movement and policy fit, and export a cited brief with AI-drafted policy recommendations. Multi-criteria suitability for the teams that have to approve the city's next move.
One read on your city. Every signal counted.
GUS does not sit on top of public data and call it intelligence. Underneath the platform, three SilaCities-built engines each read a different slice of the city, all fused against the same neighbourhood grid. So a satisfaction gap, a footfall pattern and a physical condition for the same district are always read together. This is the part competitors cannot recreate.
Evidence you can stand behind in a meeting, a boardroom or a pitch.
Every claim cited to a source and a date. Every export traceable back to the row it came from. Same artefact whether it lands in front of a planning committee, an investor, or a client.
Same platform. Very different Mondays.
GUS shapes itself to the role that opens it. The signals it surfaces, the templates it offers, the kind of answer the team needs to sign off on.
For governments.

Bring us a question about your city. We'll bring the evidence.
Most engagements begin with a two-hour working session around a question your team is already wrestling with. By the end, you'll see your city inside GUS with your data layered in. Subscription, full deployment, or consulting engagement, we scope it to match.
