Problem
Architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) teams spend a large portion of project time manually reviewing submittals, searching documents, and extracting specifications, leading to delays, high error rates, and costly rework.
Solution
Ferris offers an AI‑driven ecosystem that automates submittal reviews and data extraction across PDFs, Excel files, and handwritten notes. Users upload their existing documents, select an appropriate AI agent, and receive instant, traceable engineering outputs such as specifications, diagrams, measurements, and code references. The platform creates an intelligent layer over the original files, preserving file locations and formats while providing natural‑language search and precise page‑level citations. Results are delivered through the same interfaces teams already use, eliminating workflow changes and reducing the time spent on searching and verification.
Target Audience
Primary customers are architecture, engineering, and construction firms that handle large volumes of design documents and submittal reviews, including structural engineers, design managers, and construction project teams.
Features
- Four specialized AI agents that locate specifications, diagrams, measurements, and code references across all project documents
- Natural‑language search across PDF libraries with pinpointed page locations for each detail
- Automatic extraction of technical specifications and calculations from PDFs, Excel sheets, and handwritten notes
- Zero‑disruption integration that works with existing file storage and workflows without requiring format conversion
- Instant indexing and understanding of uploaded documents, providing traceable outputs for verification
- Enterprise‑grade security and privacy for all uploaded data
