Build Week 3: AI Email Management and Discovery, Faster Field Reports, and Agentic Proposals

Build Week 3: AI Email Management and Discovery, Faster Field Reports, and Agentic Proposals

Overview

Between April 23 and June 10, we released over 200 improvements designed to streamline how AEC professionals manage communication, documentation, and proposals.

What's New

1. AI Mail Management and Discovery

The platform now automates email organization for project teams:

  • Automatic filing: Incoming emails and attachments are sorted into the correct project folder automatically
  • Instant discovery: Deep search functionality enables locating messages or attachments in seconds
  • Shared visibility: Project emails are accessible to all team members rather than remaining in personal inboxes
  • Admin-controlled metadata: Custom fields (Client, Location, Project ID) maintain consistency and audit readiness

Expected outcome: Reduced time spent managing email, allowing professionals to focus on project delivery.

2. Structured Field Reports with Observations

Field reporting has been simplified to reduce documentation time:

  • Observations: Users can photograph and dictate notes from the field
  • Organized and exportable: Reports feature structured observations with embedded images
  • Offline capability: Dictation works without internet connection; syncing occurs when reconnected
  • Centralized dashboard: All reports and observations are managed in one unified interface

Expected outcome: Enhanced documentation quality, faster report turnaround, and reduced rework.

3. Faster RFP Responses with Agentic AI

Proposal development has been accelerated through AI assistance:

  • AI drafting: Users can interact with RFP documents or access firm knowledge bases to generate proposal sections rapidly
  • Smart editing: Content review, revision, and regeneration occur within Cogram's editor
  • Custom knowledge base: Organizations can organize and maintain current, standardized content

Expected outcome: Quicker bidding cycles, improved win rates, and senior staff availability for higher-priority work.

Coming Soon

The next development phase will include:

  • Site plans integrated into the mobile application with observation placement on drawings
  • Enhanced agentic assistant functionality across all workflows
  • MCP Server general availability
  • E-discovery features
  • New integrations, including Deltek support
