Drop in a PDF set. Every page becomes its own searchable sheet, ready for the AI.

Automatic sheet reading
Albert I. Sweinstein reads every sheet on its own and pulls out the information you bid from.

“I read the general notes. All of them. Yes, even page 4.”
Measured lengths
Measuring runs on top of the count. Albert I. Sweinstein traces one material's runs (conduit, pipe, duct, cable tray) across your plans and totals the lengths, per floor.
- 1Count your symbols
- 2Confirm the scale on each plan sheet
- 3Pick a material and press Measure
The AI only traces the runs. Lengths are worked out exactly in code from the confirmed scale, and every run is drawn on the sheet so you can check it.
Code Library
Ask Albert I. Sweinstein about regional codes and standards. Upload your company's code books (CEC, NEC, provincial or state amendments) and ask in plain English.
- 1Upload a code book PDF
- 2Set the project's province or state
- 3Ask a code question in the project chat
Answers quote the exact rule from your own books and only use books for the project's region plus that country's national code. A reference, not legal advice.
“You used to work your blueprints till they smoked. Now the only thing smoking is fall-off-the-bone ribs.”
