About this hub
What it does, in plain terms.
This is a small, private research tool for the group — a shared library of documents, plus a few ways to put that library to work. Everything here is grounded in what your team has actually collected, not the open internet by default, so answers stay traceable back to a real source.
How grounding works
Ask and Review both work the same underlying way: your question or design gets compared against everything in the Library, the most relevant passages are pulled in, and Claude answers using those — citing which document each part came from. If the Library doesn't cover something, it says so rather than guessing.
The four tools
A bit more on each
Library
A shared collection of PDFs your team uploads — research papers, case studies, anything worth keeping around. You can search it by title or filename, and it's what everything else on this site is grounded in.
Ask
A question-and-answer chat. Ask about passive cooling, orientation, thermal mass — anything covered in the Library — and it answers using those documents, telling you which one each part came from. Nothing you ask here is saved or visible to anyone else.
Review
Upload a design as a PDF or image and get written feedback grounded in the Library — strengths, concerns, and concrete suggestions. Two optional toggles: one lets it also check public sources on the web, kept clearly separate from Library citations; the other keeps a submission private if you're just testing something and don't want it visible to the rest of the group. By default, submissions are visible to everyone, since that's usually useful for learning from each other's reviews.
Gallery
Generate simple diagrams explaining climate-responsive design concepts — stack ventilation, thermal mass, and so on. Every diagram can be downloaded as an SVG file or copied as an image straight to your clipboard, so they're easy to drop into a presentation. Anyone with upload rights can delete a diagram if it's not useful.
