AI Agent FAQ
The agent can use your custom templates if you upload them. It will apply your formatting and required fields to every new document it generates.
The agent relies on the information and templates you provide. It does not independently monitor regulatory databases, so you must supply current requirements.
Your project data is processed securely and not shared outside your organization. Access controls and encryption protect all uploaded documents and generated outputs.
The agent can reference information from CAD files but only edits and generates text-based documents like SOPs, permits, and reports.
There is no hard limit on the number of documents, but extremely large batches may take longer to process. For best performance, upload documents in manageable sets.
