Definition
Delve, originally developed by Sidewalk Labs, was a generative design tool created to help real estate developers and urban planners make smarter, faster decisions during the early stages of site planning. The platform combined artificial intelligence with user-defined priorities—such as maximizing sunlight, minimizing costs, improving views, or increasing unit count—to generate and evaluate thousands of development scenarios within minutes. Each solution was optimized for both performance and user goals, making Delve a powerful tool for navigating complex trade-offs in urban development.Delve stood out in the AEC-tech landscape for its ability to integrate multiple data layers—like zoning, climate, transportation, and real estate economics—into one cohesive, decision-support system. Its intuitive interface allowed users to adjust key parameters, instantly see the impact on design options, and choose a layout that best met their objectives.
