Problem
Engineering firms often lose valuable knowledge when senior staff retire or leave, and engineers spend billable time re‑solving problems that have already been addressed in past projects, because relevant information is buried in unstructured archives.
Solution
Otlet AI creates a searchable institutional memory for engineering firms by ingesting all project documentation and extracting key technical insights. Its AI engine indexes the archive and enables natural‑language queries, returning relevant precedents, designs, and calculations instantly. The platform captures senior expertise in a permanent, searchable format, reducing dependence on individual memory. Findings can be shared directly with teammates through integrated collaboration tools, streamlining knowledge transfer and eliminating redundant effort.
Target Audience
Primary customers are civil, structural, and marine engineering firms that manage large libraries of project documentation and rely on senior staff for technical guidance.
