// For engineering & technical services firms

You sell time.
Your archive keeps eating it.

The report you need is already written. So is the offer. They're scattered across decades of folders, project codes and revisions. Every new draft starts with someone rebuilding by hand what the firm already knows. ekory reads your archive, drafts on your templates, and checks the deliverable before it leaves the building.

// The Quiet Tax

A services firm sells hours. So why give them to the archive?

Every project generates input from clients, analysis, drawings, models, reports and a bill of quantities. The knowledge is all there. The cost is in getting to it, keeping it consistent, and not letting it walk out the door with the person who held it.

01

// The Blank Page That Wasn't Blank

A day and a half to start from nothing.

The firm has written this technical report forty times. Different site, different specs, but the structure, the clauses, the method are all in the archive. Nobody can find them fast enough, so a senior engineer spends a day and a half pulling pieces from old folders to rebuild a skeleton that already existed. That day and a half was billable time, spent on work the firm had already done.

The draft existed. The path to it didn't.

02

// The Code That Didn't Match

In the report. Not in the drawings.

A piece of equipment is described in the technical report with its identifier. During a revision, that same identifier never made it into the drawings, and it's missing from the bill of quantities. The documents contradict each other, and nobody sees it until the client does. Catching it by hand means re-reading the whole project before delivery: two days of someone lining everything up again.

One missed revision. Two days to find it. Or a client who finds it first.

03

// The Senior Is the Search Engine

Have we ever done this before?

Someone needs to know whether the firm has handled a fire-protection system for a pharmaceutical plant. The answer is yes, three times, but it lives in the head of one project manager and in folders only they can navigate. So the question goes to a person instead of an archive, and the firm's deepest asset, everything it has already solved, is only as available as whoever happens to remember it.

Tribal knowledge stays tribal. Until the tribe leaves.

// The False Fix

A chatbot with no link to the source
is just a confident guess.

So people open a personal AI account and paste in a few files. A junior asks for a clause and gets one pulled from a norm that was superseded last year. The answer sounds right, cites nothing, and links back to no page in no document. On a regulated project, a plausible answer with no source isn't a shortcut. It's a liability you only discover later.

The firm doesn't need an AI with broad, horizontal knowledge. It needs one that's vertical, grounded in your archive, and that shows the exact PDF, the exact page, the exact line it took the answer from.

// The Solution

One brain per project. Shared by the whole studio.

Your archive becomes answerable.
Your templates become drafts.
Your deliverables get checked before they ship.

  1. 01

    Link the archive.

    Point ekory at your folders, with your existing project tree intact. The link is live: add files to a project folder and the Eko picks them up. You decide which data flows in, and which heavy formats stay out for now.

  2. 02

    Configure an Eko per project.

    A dedicated agent that follows a single project through its life. As the project gains files and revisions, the Eko evolves with it. Set the tone, the output format, the templates it must use, and what it is and isn't allowed to do.

  3. 03

    One workspace for everyone.

    No private accounts, no scattered prompts. People open ekory and work. Every answer cites its source, so a technical question gets a technical answer with the page it came from, not a confident guess.

// Use cases

One brain. Every part of the studio.

The same core, changing context for the report, the project, the course.

01

Technical reports & offers

// TODAY

A senior rebuilds each report and each offer by hand, recovering fragments from dozens of past projects. Hours of billable time spent re-creating structures the firm already owns.

// WITH EKORY

The Eko drafts on your real Word, Excel or PDF template, drawing on similar past projects in the archive. You get an editable draft to verify and adjust, not a blank page.

02

Project congruence check

// TODAY

Reports, drawings and the bill of quantities are checked against each other by re-reading the whole project. Two days of work, and the kind of mismatch that's easy to miss.

// WITH EKORY

Point the Eko at the delivery folder. It flags where an identifier, code or description in the report has no match in the drawings or the bill of quantities, so a person reviews the exceptions instead of everything.

03

Archive knowledge

// TODAY

"Have we done this before?" goes to whoever's been here longest. The firm's record of everything it has already solved is only as findable as someone's memory.

// WITH EKORY

Ask the archive directly. The Eko surfaces the similar past projects and cites them, so the next proposal stands on every comparable job the firm has ever delivered.

04

Safety training & courses

// TODAY

Safety courses run on a separate external platform you pay for every year. Building a new course is slow, and tracking who completed what lives somewhere else again.

// WITH EKORY

Generate a course, quiz, podcast or video from your own material, with a built-in LMS that tracks progress and issues certificates. Run it for staff or for client companies.

05

Permissions & compartmentalization

// TODAY

Access is managed by a classic server-and-network setup. Keeping project, administration and HR data in the right hands takes constant manual attention.

// WITH EKORY

Groups for Safety, Administration, HR and per-project teams, with Admin, Manager and User roles. Per-file and per-folder visibility, Drive-style. Everyone sees only what their role needs.

06

Multilingual documents

// TODAY

A 100-page technical document needs an English version. Even a fluent engineer loses real time retyping and reformatting it instead of doing engineering.

// WITH EKORY

Ask for the output in another language and the Eko produces it on the spot, keeping your template and structure. Set it once in the instructions and it's the default.

// Governance

Built for clients who send you 20 compliance forms.

When you work for structured, regulated clients, data protection is the first question, not the last.
The brain is shared. The conversations are not.

GDPREU hostingRole-based groupsPer-doc visibilityFull audit logPrivate chatsSource-linked answersMisuse flags

// Conversation history stays with the employee, for their privacy. Admins don't read individual chats; they get aggregated reports on the topics being asked, and a flag when someone repeatedly tries to push past the limits.

TRUSTED USER

The field corrects the model.

On a live project, a measurement on site doesn't always match the drawing.

A Trusted User, someone you designate, corrects the Eko right in chat.

The original file is untouched. The correction is live for the whole project team, immediately.

Eko · Project 24-118
Riccardo G. · Site engineer

Heads up: the clearance in the drawing reads 3.30 m. We measured it on site, it's 3.27 m. Use 3.27 from now on.

Eko · Project 24-118

Noted. Clearance now reads 3.27 m for this project. The source drawing is unchanged; everyone on the project team will see the corrected value.

Live for the project team · Source file untouched · Updated 0.4s ago

// The people closest to the work decide what's true. Later, you can ask the Eko to find which documents those corrections now contradict, so you know exactly what to update.

// Drawings & models too

Your CAD and BIM
are part of the brain.

The graphical part of a project isn't left out. ekory reads it through the PDFs you already export from your CAD and BIM at delivery, the same format you share with the client. So the drawings sit in the brain alongside the reports and the bill of quantities, and the congruence check runs across all three.

It fits the way you already work: nothing changes in your modelling tools, you keep exporting to PDF as you do today, and those exports become answerable and cross-checkable like everything else in the archive.

Your archive is a draft
you already paid for.

Pick a few real commesse. We build a working Eko on them, and you run it with your team for two weeks of free access. No migration, no commitment. You decide after you've seen it on your own projects.
