Your project documents, rules, and questions in one place
Karls helps your team research urban planning rules, read project documents, and prepare drafts with sources you can review.
Espace de travailStart with the documents and rules that matter to your project.
Bring source material into one workspace, ask focused questions, and keep the evidence available for your team’s review.
Built to support project preparation
Document reading, regulation research, and working drafts in the context of each project.
Research with sources
Search the available urban planning corpus and follow citations back to the original text.
Documents in context
Bring project files into the conversation, including scanned documents read with OCR.
A shared project workspace
Keep your team’s project documents and conversations together, with team access controls.
From source documents to a reviewed draft
Bring your project files together
Create a project and upload documents. Karls extracts their text and shows their processing status so you can see which files are ready for questions.
Explore regulations and parcel context
Ask questions against the available regulation corpus. Parcel queries can retrieve context from regional GIS services; coverage and availability depend on the source.
Prepare material for review
Ask Karls to write a summary or draft from your project documents and retrieved sources. Check the result before using it in an application.
Work from a shared project
Team members can access their project’s documents according to their role. Conversations retain their project context for follow-up questions.
Keep the source within reach
Open the original document and compare its text with an OCR transcription. Your team remains responsible for checking requirements and submitting the application to the authority.
Frequently asked questions
Who is Karls for?
Teams preparing urban planning and building permit projects who need a place to read documents, research regulations, and prepare working drafts.
What can I do in the workspace?
Create projects, upload documents, ask questions, and prepare summaries or drafts. Connected services are required for live document processing, research, and AI answers.
Does Karls submit applications or guarantee approval?
No. Submission to an authority, approval decisions, inspection scheduling, and official application tracking are outside the current workspace. Review answers against the cited sources before relying on them.
How do I get started?
Open the workspace and sign in to access your projects, or book a demo to discuss your workflow.
Which areas can I research?
The project includes regulation research and GIS integrations for Belgium. Available information varies by region, source coverage, and the connected corpus; a missing result is not confirmation that no rule applies.
