    Quick Answer

    NeoBram delivers AI document search for engineering and EPC firms - a RAG assistant that answers natural-language questions across P&IDs, drawings, specs, standards and project documentation with verifiable citations and full access control inheritance from your CDE.

    Why This Matters

    Engineers Spend Hours Hunting for Documents.

    Studies consistently show engineers and project teams spend 20-30% of their time looking for information - across CDEs, SharePoint, file shares, email and personal drives. Most of that time produces nothing of value.

    Modern retrieval-augmented generation can change this. An AI assistant indexes your engineering documents - drawings, P&IDs, specifications, codes, standards, vendor data, reports - and answers natural-language questions with cited sources.

    We build engineering search that respects your access control, runs on your infrastructure and gives every answer a verifiable trail back to the source document, page and section.

    How We Build It

    Natural-language engineering search

    Ask questions across all your engineering documents - drawings, P&IDs, specs, vendor data, project correspondence - in plain English.

    • Hybrid retrieval across semantic + keyword
    • Drawing and P&ID-aware (symbol, tag, equipment)
    • Cross-document reasoning when needed
    • Multi-lingual support for global projects

    Cited, verifiable answers

    Every answer cites the source document, page, section and version - so engineers can verify quickly without trusting the model blindly.

    • Inline citations with one-click source jump
    • Document version awareness
    • Confidence scoring per answer
    • 'I don't know' fallback when evidence is thin

    Workflow integrations

    Available in MS Teams, Outlook, Aconex / ProjectWise, browser and mobile - so engineers stay in their workflow.

    • MS Teams / Slack bot
    • Outlook compose assist
    • Browser plug-in for any web CDE
    • Mobile app for field use

    Access control & auditability

    Inherits document-level permissions from your CDE. Every query and response logged for audit, with PII / sensitive data controls.

    • Per-document ACL inheritance
    • SSO via Azure AD / Okta
    • Query and answer audit log
    • PII / sensitive data redaction

    Data Security, Governance & Safety

    Enterprise AI demands enterprise-grade security. Every solution we deploy follows strict data sovereignty, safety, and compliance standards.

    Data Sovereignty

    • Your data stays in your infrastructure - always
    • Deploy on your cloud (AWS, Azure, GCP) or on-premise
    • No data leaves your environment
    • Full compliance with regional data residency requirements

    Model Safety & Guardrails

    • NVIDIA NeMo Guardrails for content safety
    • PII detection and redaction with Presidio
    • Prompt injection defense and input sanitization
    • Hallucination detection and factual grounding

    Access Control & Audit

    • Role-based access control for all AI systems
    • Immutable audit logs for every interaction
    • SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001 compliance frameworks
    • GDPR, HIPAA, and industry-specific regulations

    Responsible AI

    • Bias testing with Fairlearn and AI Fairness 360
    • Model explainability via SHAP and LIME
    • Transparency reports for stakeholders
    • Continuous fairness monitoring in production
