Purpose-built AI for AEC ProfessionalsPurpose-built AI for AEC Professionals
Your Code-to-Spec Workflow, Reinvented

Copilot is purpose-built, project-aware AI built for the AEC space. Unlike generic tools, it’s designed for compliance workflows-tying codes, documents, projects, and your institutional knowledge together in one place.

Whether you’re researching, designing, or reviewing, Copilot delivers trusted answers, faster workflows, and fewer errors.

Built for real work

The tools you need. The context you’ve been missing.

Copilot doesn’t just answer questions-it understands the project, the role, and the downstream work that follows. That context turns isolated answers into guidance teams can actually use.

More than accurate answers-real AEC intelligence

Accuracy is non-negotiable-but it’s only the starting point. When benchmarked against leading generic AI tools, UpCodes Copilot significantly outperformed them. The results show why purpose-built AI matters for AEC and how much risk firms undertake if they use general-purpose AI for code compliance. Beyond the unmistakable accuracy advantage, Copilot also embeds visual diagrams, clear citations linked to adopted codes, and project-ready workflows directly into AEC teams' day-to-day work.

Copilot is included in the UpCodes Professional plan. Essentials users can try Copilot with limited access, but full capabilities are reserved for Professional subscribers.

Generic AI tools are trained on broad internet data and aren’t designed to handle the complexity of AEC compliance. UpCodes Copilot is purpose-built on a continuously maintained library of locally adopted codes, amendments, assemblies, and products, with clear citations back to the exact sections used.

That difference shows up in practice: in a recent expert-reviewed study, Copilot was 57% more accurate than leading generic AI tools when answering real-world code questions.

Yes. Copilot remembers your jurisdiction, building type and size, and code year - so you don’t have to start over every time. You can also upload project documents like AHJ comments or spec drafts for more tailored, project-aware answers.

Accuracy is where purpose-built AI matters most. In an independent study of 43 real-world code questions, responses from Copilot and several generic AI tools were evaluated by industry subject matter experts.

UpCodes Copilot earned a 93% weighted accuracy score across major code families-more than 2× the accuracy of generic AI tested. Every answer is grounded in adopted codes, includes verifiable citations, and often surfaces diagrams to support interpretation.

Yes. Copilot doesn’t stop at Q&A. It can generate project-specific checklists, and soon, full specifications - all tied directly to your projects. This enables collaboration across teams, centralizes compliance tracking, and replaces hours of manual QA/QC with automated, reliable workflows.

Your data is your data. Copilot does not train on your conversations or documents, and we use secure, enterprise-grade infrastructure to protect sensitive information. Conversations are private by default and cannot be seen by teammates unless you explicitly share them.
