MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. — Egnyte, a leader in secure content collaboration and governance, has announced the launch of its first industry-specific AI agents tailored for the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) sector. These agents aim to reduce risks, improve efficiency, and cut costs by addressing some of the industry’s most labor-intensive challenges: processing complex documentation and ensuring building code compliance.
AI Designed for AEC Workflows
The newly introduced AEC AI agents embed domain-specific artificial intelligence into critical workflows, enabling firms to work smarter with large and complex files. From the earliest stages of bidding to project completion, the agents are built to save time and prevent costly errors.
“Today’s announcement of embedding industry-specific AI agents into Egnyte’s platform marks an important milestone in how end users can engage with AI,” said Amrit Jassal, Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer at Egnyte. “These tools enable customers to take advantage of the power of AI without having to move their data and potentially expose it to security, compliance, and governance risks. The AEC industry relies heavily on complex, content-intensive documents to make informed decisions throughout the project lifecycle, and a single error in a spec sheet or misinterpretation of a building code can lead to significant project delays and cost overruns. These AEC AI agents fundamentally reduce project risk and help firms to deliver better, more profitable outcomes.”
Key Features: Specification and Building Code Analysts
Egnyte’s first two AEC-focused agents are designed to tackle two of the industry’s most time-consuming document challenges:
Specifications Analyst
This tool allows users to transform any specification file—or even multiple large documents—into structured, searchable data. With smart filters like table of contents and materials, users can quickly locate key sections, cross-reference requirements, and aggregate data across divisions.
Building Code Analyst
This agent consolidates disparate building codebooks from state, county, and municipal sources into a single searchable database. It can surface relevant code passages instantly, flag contradictions or overlaps, and even incorporate previous clarifications to speed up issue resolution. By offering AI-powered answers linked directly to original code text, the agent simplifies what is typically a time-consuming and error-prone process.

Security and Compliance at the Core
Egnyte emphasized that its AI agents are fully integrated with the company’s secure content repository. This ensures that sensitive documents remain protected, while still allowing agents to access up-to-date information from the internet—such as amended building codes and regulatory updates—without compromising data integrity.
This hybrid approach is designed to maintain compliance and governance standards while giving AEC professionals confidence that they are working with the latest information.
Industry Implications
The AEC industry is increasingly turning to AI to manage mounting project complexity, labor shortages, and tight deadlines. By automating tasks like specification analysis and code compliance, Egnyte’s AI agents are expected to shorten project timelines, reduce administrative overhead, and improve accuracy—all of which can directly affect profitability.
Egnyte currently serves more than 22,000 customers across industries, including AEC, life sciences, and financial services. With this launch, the company is positioning itself as a leading technology provider for firms that rely on content-intensive workflows.
