3 workflows you could delegate to AI

1

Create concept drawings and options

How you could use an agent

Use an agent to turn your site notes, client brief, and reference images into concept drawing options and short design captions. It can lay out a few alternatives, call out major land features to keep or change, and package the material for your review before you pick a direction.

Where you stay involved

You decide which concept is worth pursuing, check that it respects the site and project goals, and make the design calls that need professional judgment.

Review level: High

2

Build a site brief from intake

How you could use an agent

Use an agent to pull together your client notes, site visit observations, drainage or soil information, and project goals into a clean project brief. It can summarize what is known, what still needs checking, and what should wait before concept design starts.

Where you stay involved

You confirm the facts, decide whether the site is ready for design, and sort out any unclear boundary, drainage, or access issues with the right people.

Review level: High

3

Present plans and record feedback

How you could use an agent

Use an agent to collect comments from public meetings or community reviews and turn them into a clear feedback log tied to the project plan. It can separate simple preference comments from items that need technical review and prepare a revision list for the design team.

Where you stay involved

You decide which comments belong in the redesign, handle anything that changes scope or commitments, and work with the client or public official on sensitive requests.

Review level: High

Documentation and coordination support

AI can assist without owning the physical outcome

These support steps are shown separately. They do not count as agentic workflows and do not increase this occupation's score.

Inspect landscape work for defects

Use an agent to turn your field notes, photos, and plan references into a site inspection log that lists what matches the specs and what does not. It can prepare a follow-up list for the contractor and remind you which items need another look after corrections are made.

O*NET 31.0 · methodology 3.3.0. Every workflow passes an action-level physical-execution and protected human-and-veterinary clinical-action gate. Documentation workflows must own a complete digital loop and use digital task evidence only; support-only workflows are disclosed separately and excluded from scoring. Artistic, editorial, normative, and policy-dependent work receives a transparent human-judgment constraint. National ranking within 923 scored O*NET occupations under methodology 3.3.0.
