Our session there, with Dominick Johnson of Alterman, was on turning what your crews already know into AI assets.

We were on the floor in Seattle for all three days. Fifteen minutes is enough to see whether this works on your projects, and a demo gets you what the floor did: - A live demo run against a real drawing set — bring yours if you like. - A side-by-side revision compare on a set you already know, so you can check our work. - Straight answers on rollout, security, and what this costs. ### Built for MEP contractors AI knows a lot. You know your business. It runs on your own drawings, specs, and project history, and what you build into it stays yours. Four applications cover the everyday work: 1. #### DoubleCheck Find answers instantly. Ask anything about a project and get the answer straight from your own drawings, specs, and files — with the source shown. 2. #### Compare Spot changes instantly. Two drawing sets side by side, every difference found, aligned, and summarized. The overlay work that eats an afternoon, done before the coffee is cold. 3. #### Reports Smarter deliverables, built your way. Proposals, pre-bid RFIs, BOMs, and change orders, produced from your project data in the templates you already use. 4. #### Agents Your data. Your workflows. Your agent. AI agents that know your standards and project history work in the background, connected to Procore, Autodesk, Trimble, and the rest of your stack, and hand you the result to approve.
