Nomic

What it is for

Nomic is an AEC review desk: attach drawings, specs, and submittals, then ask the Nomic agent for a cited review, a code check, or a packaged workflow. Use it when the job is mark up a sheet set against your files and 380+ codes, not when you need a generic $20 chat seat or an Atlas map.

What makes it unique: the cover is Nomic’s own docs still — official documentation beside a real drawing-workspace window (sheet + findings pane) — not a pricing card.

Key features

• Nomic agent — chat a project; the agent searches drawings / specs / submittals and answers with citations (Quickstart; Use the Nomic agent). Effort (Medium / High / Extra High) is SKU of this, not three products.
• Drawing review — survey a sheet set, return a findings table plus a Bluebeam-friendly annotated PDF (Reviewing drawings). About $0.50/sheet. A review artifact, not a chat turn.
• Code compliance — query 380+ building codes and standards with answers tied to the cited section (docs: Check codes & standards). A code lookup, not a sheet markup.
• Submittal review — cross a submittal package against drawings and specs into a structured matrix (docs: Review submittals). A package check, not a sheet review.
• Workflows — clone a starter workflow, adjust it in the builder, and rerun it from a file-request form (Workflows). A repeatable job, not one chat.

The in-browser CAD viewer (native DWG layers / blocks) sits on drawing review. Autodesk / Bentley / SharePoint sync is Business+ install. Agent API is Business+ SKU. AI usage dollars are the meter.

Who it's for

Best fit: solo AEC reviewers who will stay on Individual ($20/mo) for drawing and submittal chats, and only buy Business when they need a 25-seat org, live integrations, and the Agent API.

Pricing

Verified 2026-10-22 (Asia/Shanghai) from nomic.ai/pricing and docs: Models.

• Free — $0. No card. Limited agent requests. Core platform surfaces. No Agent API.
• Individual — $20/month. Solo workspace. Extended agent requests. All product surfaces except Agent API. Included AI usage with on-demand top-ups. Sign up at app.nomic.ai.
• Business — $40/user/month. 25-seat minimum ($1,000/month floor). $20 included AI usage per seat (pooled). Project delivery; Autodesk / Bentley / SharePoint integrations; team admin; usage analytics; SAML / OIDC; Agent API.
• Enterprise — custom. Pooled usage commits; invoice / PO; SCIM; audit logs; multi-region hosting (EU / AU / US / UK); dedicated CSM.

AI usage pays for agent chats, workflows, document indexing, and (Business+) Agent API at underlying model rates with no markup. Example session rates on the docs Models table (per 1M tokens): Haiku 4.5 $1 / $5; Sonnet 5.5 $2 / $10; Opus 5.5 $4 / $20. You are billed when you index or run AI, not for browsing files.

Drawing reviews cost about $0.50/sheet on top of that usage. Comprehensive + Extra High waits for a cost confirm.

Limitations / costs

• Business starts at 25 seats ($1,000/month). A five-person firm cannot buy Business without that floor.
• Agent API is Business and Enterprise only.
• Individual is a solo workspace. Firm-wide SSO and live CAD sync need Business.
• Reviews burn AI usage. Free is limited requests; Individual tops up on demand.
• An AEC desk, not a generic RAG API. For prepaid search tokens see Jina AI.

Alternatives

• Jina AI — search-foundation APIs when you want Reader / Embed / DeepSearch, not a drawing markup.
• Notion AI — a generic workspace when AEC sheet reviews are not the job.
• Clay — a GTM table when you are enriching accounts, not permit sets.
