Synthesis AI Search for AEC Firms
Less time searching. More time doing the work you love.
“Now that everything is documented and searchable, our team can find exactly what they need, when they need it, and I can focus on advancing our sustainability efforts.”
Corey Squire
Sustainability Director, Bora Architecture & Interiors
Conversational Search
Go beyond keyword searches—ask questions and follow-up questions, refine your queries with additional context, and explore topics as you would in natural conversation. Synthesis AI Search makes it easier, and more comfortable, to find exactly what you need.
AI That Shows Its Work
Synthesis AI Search provides citations for each result, linking back to the original source, so you can verify information. This transparency, what the AI nerds call explainability, builds trust in your intranet.
Search Wide or Narrow
Explore broadly across your firm’s knowledge base, or refine results with precision filters—content type, date, or source—so you always find exactly what you need.
Unlock Knowledge Trapped in Video
Make your firm’s videos as searchable as documents by leveraging our AEC-specific transcription model which accurately recognizes industry terms, acronyms, codes, materials, and processes. Video citations allow you to jump directly to the referenced spot in the video. Find what you need, without scrubbing through hours of footage.
Turn Answers into Draft Content
Don’t just find answers—put them to work. Ask for results in a specific format, like a blog post, FAQ, or summary to streamline content creation. Whether drafting RFP responses, refreshing intranet pages, or gathering insights for marketing, AI-powered search accelerates your writing process.
Power Your Knowledge Flywheel with Search Feedback
Users search and provide feedback, content managers refine resources, and AI technology evolves, creating a flywheel effect that makes knowledge more accessible, accurate, and valuable over time. Synthesis AI Search doesn’t just find answers—it fuels continuous knowledge improvement.
AEC-Specific Integrations
Synthesis AI Search connects seamlessly with the tools AEC firms rely on—Deltek, Unanet, OpenAsset, Zendesk, and more. These out-of-the-box integrations ensure that you can search for people, projects, and knowledge—without custom development or extra effort.
“Synthesis AI Search has transformed how we tell our firm’s story—helping us find past projects, expert insights, and technical details without digging through folders.”
Hillary Thompson
Director of Brand Communications, MBH Architects
What Makes Synthesis AI Search Special?
🔍 A Single Search Box for Firmwide Knowledge
Search across all of your integrated software platforms and content types—employees, projects, videos, pages, posts, documents, etc.—from a single search box on your intranet.
🧠 Your AEC Firm’s Digital Brain
Think of AI Search as a teammate who’s read everything about your firm’s people, projects, policies, and best practices and is capable of synthesizing this collective knowledge to provide clear, well-rounded answers to a wide range of questions.
🪡 Find the Needle, Skip the Haystack
Pinpoint the exact information you need—no digging required. Whether it’s buried in a lengthy document, hidden deep in a video, or tucked away in an old intranet post, AI-powered search surfaces the right answer instantly.
👋 Say Goodbye to Knowledge Silos
Find the answer you need without having to know which person, department, team, office, business unit, or platform to ask. AI Search breaks through knowledge silos to help connect your practice.
📚 The Power of AI—Grounded in Your Data
Synthesis AI Search delivers answers using only your company’s knowledge—nothing from the internet, no outside sources, and no guesswork. Just accurate, reliable information from your firm’s trusted sources of truth.
🧲 Magnet for Expert Knowledge
Nothing is more motivating for experts than seeing the knowledge they’ve worked so hard to create being discovered and used. In turn, those seeking expert knowledge will be drawn to a continuously growing, evolving knowledge base that mirrors the growth and evolution of your organization. The power of Synthesis AI Search is magnetic.
👩🏫 Expertise On Demand
Your subject matter experts pour their hard-won knowledge into Synthesis. AI Search makes it accessible 24/7. Employees get the answers they need, even when experts are in client meetings, on job sites, or at the beach.
⚡️ Knowledge in the Flow of Work
Find what you need when you need it. Synthesis AI Search delivers just-in-time knowledge by pulling specific answers from long documents, training videos, and best practices—employees stay in the flow of work instead of stopping for a research project.
🔒 AI Search with Built-In Security
Users only see results they have permission to access. Sensitive client standards, proprietary knowledge, and private communities remain secure while still being searchable for the right people. Synthesis AI Search respects your firm’s privacy settings, ensuring confidential data stays protected.
