I’m looking for suggestions for existing software services that are specifically created for reviewing project specifications for quality, completeness, accuracy, etc… Ideally, it would find all the missing reference sections, TBD’s, “By Architect” and so forth. Extra points for being able to import keynotes or drawing content to verify the materials are covered in the specs.
Hi Nathan, GREAT question and many using VisiSpecs love our QA Report. Contact us for more info and we’d be happy to run your last project through it to show you the errors it picks up. Seamus
We are currently working on an AI driven QA/QC tool for specifications within Specpoint. We are going to be looking at a lot of what you mentioned, plus many more items.
Additionally in later phases we will be looking at doing keynotes and the revit model.
We’ve had really good success internally with this tool and excited to get this out to customers!
I know Document Crunch provides analysis and reporting based on specific queries. My impression is that it is still up to the user to know what prompts are needed to get useful results.
We are experimenting with AI for use with Conspectus Cloud. We have not found a use case that will produce consistent, reliable results, yet. Conspectus Cloud has global search that can include results for a single project, all projects, and all masters - at the user’s option. It also displays referenced spec sections in red text if the documents are not included in the project, the visual cue that the document is missing.
These two features have sufficed for our specification consulting services to ensure we deliver quality documents.
LLM is a “large language model” which is the basis for most artificial intelligence systems in use today. It refers to the way AI “scrapes” any text it can find on the internet to build its “intelligence”.
