Spero-ai

Spero-ai is a modular, end-to-end planning and development platform spanning site intelligence, feasibility, submissions, pre-lodgement and post-lodgement tools, post-permit compliance and more. Each module can stand alone or integrate, and every deployment is co-designed and customised to how each organisation works.Built on secure, locally hosted AI, Spero-ai interprets complex planning rules, automates routine tasks and surfaces the information that matters. It integrates with existing systems, provides transparent, auditable outputs and continuously improves as workflows, data and policy settings evolve. This frees planners, developers and consultants to focus on design and decision-making while delivering faster, clearer and more consistent pathways.

Development Industry Issues

  • Planning rules are complex, vary by location and require constant interpretation.

  • Feasibility and early advice take too long, delaying investment decisions.

  • Applications stall due to unclear requirements and inconsistent guidance from authorities.

  • Policy conflicts and precedent research are difficult and time-consuming.

  • Submissions require heavy manual interpretation and issue-mapping.

  • Internal knowledge and project history sit unused because teams lack tools to access or apply it.

  • Admin and duplicated reporting consume too much time.

  • Limited visibility across risks, stages and tasks causes delays and uncertainty.

Spero-ai

  • Instant site intelligence showing zoning, overlays, constraints, opportunities and relevant precedent.

  • Fast feasibility guidance that accelerates confident early decision-making.

  • Pre-lodgement tools that clarify requirements and reduce back-and-forth with authorities.

  • Automated rule and policy interpretation, including conflict checks and supporting decisions.

  • Structured submissions tools that analyse, cluster and summarise community and stakeholder input.

  • Knowledge systems that surface internal project history, expertise and past decisions.

  • Automation of repetitive admin and reporting so teams can focus on higher-value work.

  • Real-time project tracking across risks, tasks and deadlines to maintain momentum.

Councils, Referral Authorities and Government Issues

  • Planning applications vary widely in quality, creating unnecessary back-and-forth.

  • Assessments are slow due to extensive manual processes.

  • Planning considerations, rules, policies and data are complex.

  • Information is scattered across systems, emails and spreadsheets, limiting visibility and slowing decisions.

  • Plans and policies are difficult to keep current, leading to outdated guidance.

  • Submissions require significant manual interpretation, summarisation and issue-mapping.

  • Workforce and budget constraints limit capacity to specialise or streamline processes.

  • Pressure continues to rise to approve applications faster without compromising integrity or compliance.

Spero-ai

  • Automation of factual information to reduce manual workload.

  • AI-assisted decision support without replacing professional judgement.

  • Automated completeness checks to lift application quality and reduce back-and-forth.

  • Tools that show how and what rules apply for each site, ensuring consistent interpretation.

  • Unified workflows that centralise documents, emails, mapping and data in one place.

  • Automated updates and surfacing of relevant policies and data to keep decisions current.

  • AI-supported submissions tools that analyse, cluster and summarise community feedback.

  • Real-time workflow visibility strengthening oversight and enabling faster, compliant decisions.

  • *all easily integrated with existing systems.


About us

The Spero-ai team brings together deep planning expertise, cutting-edge AI capability, and a shared passion for solving real problems in urban planning.

James Mant CEO

“I founded Spero-ai to empower planners and reimagine the system, not replace them. I believe AI can spark a renaissance in urban planning by giving planners back the time to focus on what really matters.Through my role with the Planning Institute of Australia, I’ve seen the daily frustrations up close. Everyone agrees innovation is needed, but few know how to apply AI in a way that works for the sector. That’s the gap Spero-ai is here to fill.”

Spero-ai is first Company to Commit to the PIA PlanTech Principles.
