The Agent: a smart assistant that explains your compliance clause by clause

Behind every non-compliance note in Emtithal stands the Agent: an AI model that doesn't just issue a verdict but explains how it got there. The Agent is designed to be the engineer's partner — thinking out loud and grounding every step in Saudi Building Code clauses.

From a black box to visible reasoning

Most automated checkers give you a final result with no explanation. The Agent flips the equation: it shows its chain of reasoning step by step — which clause it checked, what value it read from the drawing, and how it compared it to the regulatory requirement — so you understand the "why" before the "what."

How does it read your drawing?

The Agent goes through your project in clear, traceable stages:

  • Extracting the structural elements and their dimensions from the drawing.
  • Matching each element to the relevant Saudi Building Code clauses.
  • Generating an understandable note for each non-compliance, with its reference and severity.
«The Agent doesn't replace the engineer; it gives them an assistant that never tires of reading clauses and never forgets a detail.»

Transparency that builds trust

Because every note comes with its source in the code and its analysis steps, the engineer can review the Agent's logic and reject or approve it with confidence. The goal isn't to automate the decision, but to speed it up while keeping the engineer accountable.

The Agent is the layer that turns Emtithal from an error-detection tool into an engineering assistant that explains, justifies, and grounds itself in the code — in a language the Saudi engineer understands.
