Cogram

Cogram is an AI platform built specifically for architecture, engineering, and construction firms to manage documentation, collaboration, and project administration. The platform operates as an integrated workspace that combines an AI agent, automated meeting minutes, email filing, RFI and submittal logging, and field report generation. It aims to replace decades-old software by streamlining repetitive administrative tasks and project correspondence using AEC-specific artificial intelligence.

• AI agent for asking questions and analyzing documents with AEC-specific AI
• AI email filing and search across all project correspondence
• Fast and user-friendly logging and review for RFIs and submittals
• Automated meeting minutes for virtual and in-person meetings using custom templates
• Voice-activated field reports that capture spoken observations and snapped photos into custom templates
• Modular pricing and floating licenses supporting individual and team deployments
• Secure data policies including SOC 2 Type II certification, SAML-2.0-based SSO, MFA, and role-based access controls
• Optional private-cloud or on-premises data storage with no AI model training on customer data

Pros

• Drafts field reports and meeting minutes directly in a firm's own custom templates to minimize formatting and copy-pasting
• Integrates directly with industry-specific project management and ERP tools like Procore and Deltek Vantagepoint
• Allows external accounts for subcontractors and co-consultants to collaborate free of charge
• Provides high-touch human support with dedicated customer success managers and guided product trials

Cons

• Exact pricing for team tiers is not published on the page and requires booking a live demo to receive a custom quote
• Relies on external integrations like Procore and Autodesk Construction Cloud to sync project data
• Requires a transition from legacy tools, though data migration support is provided

Cogram is built for architects, designers, engineers, consultants, and general or specialty contractors who want to automate administrative documentation tasks. It fits firms looking to integrate AI tools directly into their existing workflows and templates without training public AI models on proprietary data. It is a poor fit for organizations outside the architecture, engineering, and construction sectors that do not require AEC-specific document management and RFI logging.

Cogram uses modular pricing with floating licenses. For individuals, the plan costs $79 per month and includes AI meeting minutes, field reports, and the project agent, alongside a 14-day free trial. For teams and firms, pricing uses a per-seat model where organizations pick the specific products they need, such as Email Management and RFI & Submittal Management; exact team pricing is not published on the page and requires booking a demo to obtain figures for a specific setup. External accounts for subcontractors and co-consultants are free of charge.

Unlike generic AI productivity assistants, Cogram is tailored specifically to the architecture, engineering, and construction industry with AEC-specific AI models. It distinguishes itself by connecting directly to industry standard software like Procore, Deltek, and Unanet while outputting documents directly into a firm's proprietary templates. Additionally, it offers strict data security compliance including SOC 2 Type II certification, guarantees that customer data is never used to train AI models, and provides optional private-cloud or on-premises deployment.

Procore, Autodesk Construction Cloud, Deltek, Unanet, Microsoft Teams, Outlook, Zoom, Google Meet, and custom integrations via API.

Cogram is worth trying for architecture and engineering firms aiming to reduce hours spent on meeting minutes, email filing, and field reports. Individuals can trial the software with a 14-day free self-serve trial, while teams and firms must book a demo to receive custom pricing for their setup. Those outside the AEC sector should look elsewhere.
