# Nomic - Complete Documentation > Nomic is the domain-specific AI platform for architecture, engineering, and construction firms. Transform your institutional knowledge into actionable AI-powered insights. --- ## Company Overview Nomic is the domain-specific AI platform for architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) firms. Founded in 2022, Nomic transforms disparate, unstructured data into organized, AI-ready knowledge, with the platform to operationalize it at scale. ### Mission Accelerating the design and construction of the built world through AI. ### The Problem We Solve Decades of institutional knowledge are buried in diverse documents scattered across multiple systems—impossible to find, trust, or use efficiently. This leads to: 1. **Lost Expertise**: Generations of expert practice, recorded in multiple document types scattered across systems, is rendered useless, forcing teams to rework. 2. **Untrustworthy AI**: Without access to your firm's actual documents, AI models hallucinate—producing generic or wrong answers. 3. **Incomprehensible Data**: AI tools can't organize, connect, or interpret many document types, from scans, drawings, and specs, to multimodal documents and spreadsheets. ### Our Solution Nomic transforms disparate, unstructured data into organized, AI-ready knowledge, with the platform to operationalize it at scale. --- ## Products & Services ### 1.
