Cogram

What Cogram does

Cogram is an AI-native software company that builds documentation and project-workflow automation tools for the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry. Founded in 2021 by physics and machine-learning researchers from the University of Oxford, the company operates a platform-plus-modules architecture branded as "Cogram Project," which unifies five core products: an AI Assistant for cross-project question answering, Email Management (automatic filing and search), RFIs & Submittals (with two-way Procore sync), Meeting Minutes (transcription and summarization across Teams, Zoom, Webex, Google Meet and in-person meetings), and Field Reports (voice-to-report mobile app with offline capability). All modules output into customer-specific templates and respect existing AEC data flows via integrations with Procore, Deltek, Unanet, Autodesk Construction Cloud, Microsoft Outlook, and Google Workspace. Cogram additionally has an upcoming conversational CAD/BIM product called Cogram Studio currently on waitlist.\n\nCogram monetizes through subscription SaaS, with a self-serve $39/month Individual tier including a 14-day free trial, and per-seat pricing for Teams and Firms negotiated via demos with dedicated Account Executives across East Coast, Central/West, and UK regions. The go-to-market is hybrid product-led-plus-sales, combining bottom-up individual adoption with enterprise expansion driven by named design and engineering customers such as KIRKOR Architects, Energyficient Systems, JacobsWyper Architects, CDH Partners, Corgan, IMEG, Kirksey Architecture, PBK Architects, and TVS Design. The company is privately held, backed by Y Combinator, Initialized Capital, and angel investor Elad Gil, with disclosed seed funding of approximately $500,000 raised in January 2022, and is headquartered in San Francisco with additional offices in New York, London, and Berlin.

Core offering

Cogram is an AI-native SaaS platform built for architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) firms. It automates documentation workflows including meeting minutes (virtual and in-person), AI-powered field reports, email filing and search, RFI and submittal management with Procore sync, and a project-aware AI Assistant that queries across meetings, email, and project documents.

Product overview

Cogram is an AI-native platform for architects and engineers that operates as a platform-plus-modules architecture. The core Cogram Project platform integrates five main modules: AI Assistant (project-aware question answering and document analysis), Email Management (automatic email filing and search), RFIs & Submittals (RFI/submittal tracking with Procore sync), Meeting Minutes (automatic transcription across all meeting platforms and in-person), and Field Reports (voice-to-report on mobile with offline capability). An upcoming product, Cogram Studio, is a conversational CAD/BIM tool currently on waitlist.

Scale indicators3 records

Broad incumbents

• Autodesk Construction Cloud: Autodesk ACC (Build, Docs, Takeoff) is an AEC industry incumbent integrating BIM and project documentation. Cogram already integrates with it, but Autodesk's own AI roadmap in design and documentation overlaps with Cogram's AI Assistant and upcoming Cogram Studio conversational CAD/BIM product.
• Bluebeam (Nemetschek): Bluebeam is a widely deployed AEC documentation and markup platform owned by Nemetschek. Its installed base of architects and engineers overlaps directly with Cogram's customer segment, and any native AI features would compete with Cogram's documentation automation.
• Procore Technologies: Procore is the dominant construction management platform with deep AEC relationships and a two-way integration partnership with Cogram. As Procore adds its own AI features for RFIs, submittals, and project insights, it is both a critical distribution channel for Cogram and a long-term competitive threat.

Direct peers

• Fireflies.ai: Fireflies is an AI meeting assistant that records, transcribes, and summarizes meetings across Zoom, Teams, Meet, and Webex. Like Cogram, it competes for the same meeting-notes wedge inside AEC and project-driven professional services firms.
• Fathom: Fathom is a free AI meeting notetaker that records, transcribes, and summarizes meetings. It competes head-on with Cogram's Meeting Minutes module for individual and team-tier AEC users who may default to a lower-cost or free general-purpose notetaker.
• Avoma: Avoma is an AI meeting assistant with transcription, summaries, and conversation intelligence aimed at revenue and project teams. It is comparable to Cogram as an AI-native meeting and conversation tool used by professional services organizations, including AEC-adjacent consultancies.
• Newforma: Newforma is a project information management platform purpose-built for AEC firms, handling emails, RFIs, submittals, and project records. It is the closest AEC-only competitor to Cogram's broader documentation and email management stack.
• Fieldwire (Hilti): Fieldwire is a construction field management platform for task tracking, punch lists, and field reporting, now owned by Hilti. It competes directly with Cogram's AI Field Reports product for the same field-documentation workflow on construction sites.
• Otter.ai: Otter is a leading AI meeting transcription and notes platform used broadly across industries. It directly competes with Cogram's Meeting Minutes product for AEC firms' virtual meeting use cases, though Otter is general-purpose while Cogram is AEC-specialized.
• Read AI: Read AI provides AI-generated meeting summaries, transcripts, and analytics across Teams, Zoom, and Meet. It overlaps directly with Cogram's Meeting Minutes and Assistant features, particularly for AEC firms running large project coordination meetings.
