Engineering intelligence for capital projects

Agents that think in P&IDs, HMBs, and spec sheets.

Torus's AI agents understand every parameter across your specs, drawings, and datasheets. They cross-reference every detail and adapt to how your firm works.

Engineering intelligence

Upload documents. Torus extracts every parameter, maps cross-document relationships, and flags what doesn't match. Engineers see consistency flags. PMs see workflow automation. Same project, same data.

Beyond a chatbot

Most AI tools for engineering are just chatbots. You upload a document, ask a question, get an answer. One document. One question. One answer. That's not how engineering works.

One question, one document, one answerTorus: every document, cross-referenced at once

Every spec, drawing, and datasheet cross-referenced at once, and the follow-up already drafted in your firm's format. Every value that has to agree with another value has a check with a name: relief set point against design pressure, transformer rating against connected load, code edition against project spec. More than fifty categories, and each flag carries the rule that fired. The labels on the plant are the checks that apply to each piece of equipment.

GENERIC CHATBOTWAITS TO BE ASKED
what's the design pressure in the datasheet?
The process datasheet lists a design pressure of 450 psig.
does that match the P&ID?
I don't have access to the P&ID. Could you upload it?
TORUSALREADY CHECKED
Design pressure 450 psig (process datasheet v3)

REPO-2847 Transformer Procurement, Cedar Rapids
Sarah, I've drafted the procurement approval for PO-2847. Based on 14 similar approvals your team has processed, I matched your standard format and cross-referenced the Siemens quote against the project budget and Phase 2 schedule.
TORUS OUTPUT
RECOMMENDATION: APPROVE
VENDOR: Siemens Energy, $19.4M for 3 units (within budget)
LEAD TIME: 128 weeks. Releasing now holds the energization date
RISK FLAGS: 1 · lead time consumes 6 wk of energization float; expedite option quoted
If this looks right, reply "approve" and I'll route it to J. Morrison for sign-off. The memo goes out as Prepared by S. Chen, PE.

Across the whole thread

Follows full conversations. CC Torus or add it to Teams. It tracks decisions and action items across every party on the thread.
Flags what's stalled. Unanswered approval? Missed vendor deadline? Torus drafts the follow-up and waits for your go-ahead.
Every action, traceable. Full provenance on every output.

It's hard to build in America.

The projects are getting bigger and the teams aren't. Every substation, pipeline, and treatment plant runs on thousands of documents across dozens of firms. When a design pressure in the process datasheet doesn't match the piping spec, it's a $500K rework order caught too late.

Torus gives every engineer the capacity of a team.

Making engineers formidable.

Built by engineers who have delivered capital projects and AI researchers who have shipped frontier autonomous systems. Not a chatbot: the agentic layer that reads a project, keeps it consistent, and drafts it.
