The problem it solves

Your team gets blueprints in and someone has to read through each one and type the details into a spreadsheet. It is slow, easy to mistype, and pulls people away from more valuable work.

Who it fits

Construction firms and project teams who need blueprint details logged into a shared spreadsheet.

How it works

  1. A new blueprint file is uploaded to a watched OneDrive folder
  2. The file is downloaded automatically for processing
  3. AI reads the blueprint and extracts details like job name, drawing number, and revision
  4. The extracted details are added as a new row in an Excel sheet

What you get

An updated Excel sheet with a structured row of extracted blueprint details for every new file.

What you need

A Microsoft 365 account with OneDrive and Excel Online, plus a VLM Run API key.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
