AI workflow automation for property, planning & law

Ask your files. Automate the busywork. Move faster.

topicAI reads everything in your workflow — documents, records, correspondence — and answers questions with citations back to your own files, drafts content in your team's voice, and exports finished, branded output. Set up for how your profession works: planning lawyers, buyers and seller agents, town planners, expert witnesses, councils and government. Nothing it tells you is unsourced.

30-day trial · no credit card obligation until you convert · founding-rate pricing while it lasts

Up to 40% reported efficiency gain — time back in your day to spend in front of clients, not buried in documents.
Features

Everything your workflow needs, in one assistant

Purpose-built for how teams actually work through documents and process — not a generic chatbot bolted onto a file store.

Workflow chat, grounded in your files

Ask a question in plain English and get an answer with a citation back to the exact document and page it came from — verify every claim in one click.

Drafted in your own style

Every document comes out matching your organisation's tone, formatting, and branding — drafted from real facts in your files, with anything unconfirmed left as a clear placeholder, never invented.

Compare documents automatically

Upload multiple versions of any document and topicAI finds inconsistencies between them — a figure that doesn't match, a clause that changed — before you do.

Inbox, synced automatically

Connect your email once and topicAI matches relevant messages to the right workflow automatically — no manual filing, no missed attachments.

Secure, compliant, and data-sovereign

Every organisation's workflows, documents, and chat history are fully partitioned — your data is never visible to, or searchable by, any other customer. Hosted and processed entirely within Australia, meeting the data residency and confidentiality standards your practice depends on.

Finished, on-brand output

Export any drafted document as a polished PDF with your logo, letterhead, and signature block — ready to send, no reformatting.

Industries

A login built for your profession

Pick your industry when you start your trial and topicAI sets itself up for how you work — the right terminology, tools, data and rules from day one.

For Buyers & Seller Agents

Built for property, not just paperwork

Beyond document Q&A, topicAI runs a real property research pipeline against live market and government data — for the buy side and the sell side.

Live property search

Search the open market directly from a client brief — real current listings, not a spreadsheet you have to upload and keep up to date yourself.

Real comparable sales & yield

Valuation estimates and rental yield are built from real government sale records and current market listings — a transparent estimate, never a black box.

Zoning, schools, flood & sewer — checked automatically

Every property is checked against real state planning, school catchment, and water-authority data the moment you open it — no manual council lookups.

One-click Investment Report + Due Diligence Pack

Build a client-ready, firm-branded Investment Report and a full due diligence pack — a separate report per category, from planning to insurance — in one click.

Price evidence for every appraisal

The most comparable recent sales and the suburb median, from real sale records — the evidence behind your estimated selling price (NSW) or Statement of Information (VIC).

Know when your client opens it

Every report gets a private, branded web link. You're alerted when your client — vendor or buyer — opens it, comes back to it, or downloads the PDF.

Planning professionals

The planning system, in one assistant

The same planning engine our law firms use — every control, overlay and hazard for a site, plus your own documents — set up for how each profession works.

Town planners

All of a site's controls with their sources, drafted SEEs and cl 4.6 requests from your project file, and Archistar due diligence imported straight into your reports.

Expert witnesses

Courts restrict AI in expert reports, so topicAI works around your report, never in it: brief, chronology, contentions, site data and deadlines — your opinion stays yours.

Councils

Statements of Facts and Contentions, assessment reports and s34 preparation drafted from the application file, with every public submission summarised and answered.

State government

Policy, assessment and exhibition work grounded in your own documents and the instruments themselves — hosted in Australia and never used to train shared models.

How it works

From upload to finished output in three steps

01

Start a workflow, add your documents

Drag and drop files straight in — every document is searchable in chat the moment it finishes uploading, no separate processing step.

02

Ask questions, draft with AI

Query your documents directly, or pick a template and let topicAI draft it from the real facts on file. Refine it like any conversation until it's right.

03

Export, branded and ready

One click produces a finished PDF in your own branding — automatically saved back into your files.

Security & Compliance

Built for organisations that can't take chances with client data

A plain-language summary of how topicAI protects client data for firms, councils and agencies operating in regulated, confidentiality-sensitive environments. For a formal Data Processing Agreement, contact us.

Multi-tenant data isolation

Every organisation is assigned a unique tenant identifier, enforced on every authenticated request before any data is read or written. Your identity is verified first; your tenant is resolved from your own account, never from client-supplied input. There is no code path by which one organisation's data is queryable using another organisation's session — your data is logically isolated at every layer of the stack.

Data sovereignty & residency

All production infrastructure — application servers, databases, document storage, search indexing, and AI model processing — is deployed exclusively in Microsoft Azure's Australia East region. Your data is not routed offshore for processing or storage as part of normal operation. This is an infrastructure-level commitment, not a configuration toggle.

Retrieval-grounded answers & citations

topicAI does not let the underlying model answer from general knowledge alone. It first retrieves relevant passages from your own uploaded documents — filtered by your tenant identifier at the search layer itself — and grounds its answer in that content. Every substantive answer is returned with citations back to the specific source document.

Approved reference sources only

Where topicAI supplements your documents with external reference material — council or planning information, for example — that material is drawn only from a curated set of approved sources, never from an open, unrestricted web search or the model's own unverified training knowledge. Reference data is cited back to its source, the same as your own files.

AI processing, never used to train shared models

AI processing runs on Microsoft's enterprise Azure AI platform — the same Australia-based infrastructure referenced above — not a public consumer AI product. Under Microsoft's Azure AI data privacy terms, your prompts, documents, and generated output are not used to train or improve any shared or publicly available model, and are never made available to any other customer.

Security posture

Data is encrypted in transit and at rest using Microsoft Azure's platform-level encryption. Authentication is handled via Microsoft Entra ID, with every request cryptographically verified before it reaches any application logic. topicAI is built on Microsoft Azure, which holds broad independent certifications — including ISO 27001 and SOC 2 — at the infrastructure level.

In short: your client data stays within your own tenant, is processed and stored only within Australia, is never used to train shared models, and is never exposed to another organisation using the platform.
