Overview
Software shouldn't be the work. Software should help do the work, and get out of the way. Yet too many AEC professionals spend hours every day navigating disconnected systems—Outlook, Newforma, Procore—just to find information, file documents, or compile reports. This update changes that.
What's New
1. Agentic AI Assistant
The platform now enables intelligent project queries. A PM can ask the system to "Summarize everything discussed around MEP layout changes since July 1," receiving answers linked directly to source materials like emails, meeting notes, and site reports.
The assistant understands the context of your projects and can pull information across all connected data sources to give you accurate, referenced answers in seconds.
2. Drawings & Field Reports
Mobile-first functionality allows architects to drop location pins, photograph issues, and dictate observations during site walks. The system generates professional field reports within 60 seconds using custom templates.
Field teams can now work directly on drawings, marking up observations in context rather than describing locations in text. Reports are automatically structured, organized, and ready for distribution.
3. Deltek Vantagepoint Integration
Projects automatically instantiate in Cogram from Deltek ERP systems, syncing project IDs, client names, status, and staffing permissions. This streamlines email filing and information retrieval by eliminating duplicate data entry between systems.
4. Redesigned User Interface
Navigation was restructured to access Meeting Minutes, Email Management, Field Reports, Proposals, and the AI Assistant more efficiently. The new layout puts your most-used tools front and center while keeping everything else within reach.
A Day with Cogram
Morning: Your 9 AM OAC meeting runs as usual—Cogram captures minutes and action items automatically. By the time you grab coffee, the minutes are ready for review in your firm's template.
Site visit: Walking the job site, you open the mobile app, drop pins on the drawing set, snap photos of the curtain wall installation, and dictate observations. A professional field report generates before you reach your truck.
Afternoon: Back at your desk, you ask the AI Assistant to pull together everything discussed about the structural steel RFI across the last three meetings and the GC's latest emails. It compiles a summary with links to every source document.
End of day: New project emails have been automatically filed. Your Deltek projects are synced. Tomorrow's meeting agenda is ready.
