Buoyant connects to the systems AEC firms run: CRMs like Deltek Vantagepoint, Unanet, Cosential, Salesforce, and HubSpot; accounting in Ajera, BQE CORE, QuickBooks, and Sage Intacct; files in Microsoft 365, Google Drive, Egnyte, Dropbox, Box, and OpenAsset; projects in Procore, Autodesk, Bluebeam, Newforma, Smartsheet, Asana, and Primavera P6; and bids and email in GovWin IQ, SAM.gov, ConstructConnect, Mailchimp, and Constant Contact. It files each record into one firm knowledge base: people, projects, images, proposals, and contracts, kept current as things change.

Connected.

If your firm keeps data there, Buoyant can read it.

Organized, down to the images.

"Aerial of the water treatment plant" is a search, not an afternoon of digging.

Kept current.

No agent works from last year's resume.

Agents

Digital employees that live where you work, in Microsoft Word and Adobe InDesign.

From spotting the right RFP to a reviewed draft in Word or InDesign, grounded in your firm's history.

Design custom agents that fit your workflow. They run on the same knowledge base as the rest of your AI team.

For us, what really stands out about Buoyant is the support. Their team is incredibly hands-on, and we have direct access to their engineers 24/7. Bringing AI into a company can be a big adjustment, but having that kind of personal support has made the whole process so much easier for our employees.

Before Buoyant, I would've had to turn down a lot of the work we're taking on now. There's just no way I could've managed all of it on my own and still kept up with everything else I have to do. It's honestly been a huge help.
Marketing Director, Midwest Water Engineering Firm
We had seven reports come in within a single week, all different sizes and scopes, and every one needed to be customized. There's just no way our team could've kept up with that on our own. Having Buoyant made it possible to get them all done.
Proposal Lead, Engineering Firm
For us, the biggest difference has been getting time back. Instead of spending so much time drafting and reviewing, our engineers can focus more on actual project work and building relationships with clients. It's freed up time for the things that really move our business forward.

Security

Your data stays yours.

Encrypted end to end
The numbers you would never show a competitor, like rates, fees, and staffing plans, stay unreadable outside your firm.
Isolated by firm
Separation is enforced by the database on every query, not by a filter in the app.
Never used for training
Your win themes and pricing never become another firm's suggestion.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

How is Buoyant different from ChatGPT, Claude, and Copilot?

Those are general-purpose assistants. You prompt them, they hand back text, and you still do the real work: digging up your firm's past projects, formatting the result, and checking it against the requirements. Buoyant's agents are built for AEC firms and deliver the finished work. They draw on your own projects, people, and past documents, write in your firm's voice, check every requirement, and lay the result out in Word or InDesign. Less a chatbot you operate, more a team that works alongside yours.

What if we've already built our own AI agents?

That's a great starting point. It means your team already sees the potential of AI.

The question is whether you want your people spending their time building, testing, and maintaining those agents, or using them to get more work done.

Buoyant brings AEC-specific workflows, your firm's knowledge, and hands-on engineering support together in one platform. So instead of starting from scratch every time you want to automate something new, you have a team and technology built around the way your firm actually operates.
