About
Cogram is an AI-powered project management and documentation platform purpose-built for architects, engineers, consultants, and builders. Unlike generic AI tools, Cogram understands AEC-specific language, standards, and project context—making it a trusted partner from bid to handover. The platform offers a suite of intelligent agents that automate the most time-consuming project admin tasks. Its Meeting Minutes feature captures and formats notes from virtual and in-person meetings using your firm's custom templates. Field Reports lets teams speak observations, snap photos, and auto-generate structured reports on-site. Email Management uses AI to automatically file, search, and surface project-relevant emails. The RFI & Submittal Management module streamlines review workflows and integrates directly with Procore. The AI Assistant enables teams to ask questions and analyze project documents with AEC-specific intelligence. Cogram also supports Project Proposals, drafting tailored RFP responses grounded in your firm's past portfolio and business knowledge. It integrates with Procore, Deltek, Autodesk Construction Cloud, Microsoft Teams, Outlook, Zoom, and Google Meet. Security-conscious teams benefit from Cogram's commitment to not training AI models on customer data and its private cloud storage option. With template-driven outputs and human-review workflows, Cogram is designed for teams that demand consistency, quality, and compliance on every project.
