How AI Search Helps AEC Firms Find And Fill Knowledge Gaps

Christopher Parsons explains how AI-powered search helps architecture/engineering/construction (AEC) firms discover and fill internal knowledge gaps. He emphasizes proactive intranet maintenance (a suggested rotation cadence of about three to six months), and shows how search quickly exposes missing content (example: a client that frequently discusses company values but had never documented them, so a search for “what are our values?” returned no results). He also notes search analytics can show repeated queries (e.g., six queries in two weeks) so knowledge managers can task subject-matter experts to fill holes.
