Synthesis Knowledge Agents for AEC Firms
Put your knowledge to work.
“Knowledge Agents let us capture knowledge and processes in a way that's accessible beyond the individual. That's really the goal — not to replace people, but to leverage our collective intelligence by making what we know usable by everyone.”

Principal, MBH Architects
Accelerate learning, scale expertise, and streamline workflows with Synthesis Knowledge Agents.
Process-Based Agents
Execute structured, repeatable knowledge work by reviewing, comparing, checking, or completing defined processes using firm standards and best practices.
Examples include proposal reviewers, contract risk checkers, QA/QC assistants, and standards-compliance validators.
Creation-Based Agents
Draft, summarize, and generate new content using firm knowledge, standards, and institutional voice.
Examples include proposal drafters, project description writers, learning objective builders, and brand communications assistants.
Informational Agents
Retrieve knowledge, answer questions, and provide guidance grounded in curated firm knowledge for targeted use cases.
Examples include Revit assistants, sustainability advisors, HR policy advisors, and design precedent explorers.
Grounded in Your Best Knowledge, Out of the Box
Knowledge Agents are grounded in your firm’s best knowledge: standards, processes, best practices, courses, and learning paths organized in your Synthesis Intranet and LMS.
They also draw on the AEC systems your firm already runs, including Deltek, Unanet, aec360, OpenAsset, and more.
AI That Knows When to Escalate to Humans
Synthesis Knowledge Agents are designed to stay closely grounded to their intended scope and source material. When a question falls outside an agent’s intended scope or confidence level, agents can direct users toward the appropriate human expert, support contact, or team.
From Personal to Firmwide
Synthesis Knowledge Agents are designed to scale naturally from individual experimentation to firmwide deployment. Create personal agents for your own work, shared agents for teams and departments, or global agents available across the organization.
Employees access agents inside the same platform they already use every day to find knowledge and learning resources, while firms manage them using the existing permissions and governance controls already built into Synthesis.
Built-In Feedback Loops
Synthesis Knowledge Agents include built-in ratings and qualitative feedback tools that help firms continuously improve both the agent experience and the underlying knowledge that powers it.
Feedback can help identify missing information, outdated content, process gaps, or opportunities to strengthen standards, best practices, and training materials over time.
As organizations refine and expand their institutional knowledge, agents become more useful, more accurate, and more aligned with how the firm actually works.
