Join us for a webinar on the real-world benefits of AI-powered knowledge management, hosted by PSMJ and featuring Christopher Parsons, Founder and CEO of Knowledge Architecture.

In this session, Christopher will share five real-world case studies showing how AEC firms are using the intranet and AI search capabilities of Synthesis—Knowledge Architecture’s integrated knowledge and learning management platform—to connect the right person to the right knowledge or expert in the flow of work.

Rather than talking about AI as a distant future concept, this webinar looks at what it actually looks like inside firms today — how knowledge is being captured, made searchable, and reused long after someone attends a training or asks a question for the first time.

The five case studies include:

• BWBR created a healthcare upskilling series with 18 learning modules, best practice guides, and expert-curated content. AI search makes it all accessible to new hires so they can quickly get answers to their questions. 

• Turner Fleischer combined structured standards, #TechTalk videos, a searchable eTutor library, and an internal learning academy to build a robust KM foundation. AI search delivers just-in-time answers that support technology adoption at scale.

• Boulder Associates uses expert interviews to capture knowledge, such as seismic compliance strategies and Bluebeam project workflows. AI search then surfaces this expertise so project teams can get answers and connect directly with in-house experts.

• Bora Architecture & Interiors built a digital twin of their sustainability lead, Corey Squire, by integrating his best practices, project reflections, and even his book into their intranet. AI search (aka “Robo Corey”) now helps employees find standards, strategies, and subject matter experts for sustainable design decisions.

• Shepley Bulfinch created a comprehensive onboarding knowledge ecosystem, answering questions such as “How do I get staffed on projects?” or “Who knows Affinity Photo in Houston?” in the flow of work. AI search allows access to these answers long after orientation.

We’ll close with a brief preview of what’s next for AI-powered knowledge management in AEC, including a look at emerging capabilities such as advanced project search and AI-powered knowledge agents.

The webinar takes place Thursday, November 6th at 1 PM EST.

We hope you’ll join us for this conversation.
