Why This Tool Exists

⚠️

The Problem

AEC teams waste significant time on repetitive, document-intensive tasks like submittal reviews, RFI processing, and QA/QC checks. Manual reviews of specifications, drawings, and compliance requirements can consume 5-10 hours per week per person and delay project timelines.

✅

The Solution

Nonlinear provides a visual no-code builder that enables non-technical team members to create AI workflows tailored to their firm's processes. Workflows automatically extract data from documents, check compliance, route submissions, and populate templates—meeting teams where they work (email, Teams) rather than requiring new platform adoption.
