Inspiration

Homeowners drown in paperwork when applying for building permits — researching requirements, compiling documents, and tracking application status across agencies is slow, error-prone, and expensive.

What it does

Permit Pal is a background multi-agent system that shepherds homeowners through building-permit applications end-to-end. An orchestrator agent coordinates specialist sub-agents — research, document preparation, and scheduling — while human approval gates keep the homeowner in control at every critical step.

How we built it

Built with the Strands Agents SDK: an orchestrator agent delegates to research, docs, and scheduler specialist agents. Human-in-the-loop approval gates guard every consequential action.

Challenges we ran into

Keeping a multi-agent system reliable end-to-end — we built a rigorous evaluation harness around the permit workflow.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

29/29 evals passing — a fully reliable agent pipeline for a real-world, high-stakes workflow.

What's next

Broader permit-type coverage and direct integrations with municipal portals.
