IBISIntelligent Building Information System
One AI. Every answer.
IBIS is the AI agent for engineers and contractors, working right inside Autodesk Revit. Ask in plain language and it reads the model, checks it against the code, prices the options and writes the report, citing every code section it used.

How it works
What if all of this was in one AI?
Codes, the model, costs and project records usually live in different tools and different heads. IBIS brings them into one conversation, so the answer comes with its sources.

One AI. Every answer.
Real workflows
Ask. IBIS does the engineering.
Four requests, one plumbing model, minutes of work. Every screen below is the real Genicon AI assistant answering inside Revit.
- 1
Inventory the model
"Inventory every plumbing system in this model."
40 systems by type, material and diameter, 179 fixtures by floor, a 3,052-row Revit schedule and a CSV, without opening a single family.
- 2
Size against the code
"Are these pipes sized right for the demand?"
Peak demand by IPC 2021's Hunter's method (304 WSFU → 30 GPM), the oversized segments with the size they need, exported to CSV.
- 3
Check code compliance
"Audit the domestic water and sanitary systems against IPC 2021."
6,268 segments audited, violations ranked by severity, every IPC section cited, and a PDF report with the fixes, in about a minute.
- 4
Price the options and decide
"Give me three routing options for the hot water riser and recommend one."
Installed and 25-year lifecycle cost for three engineered options, with a recommendation and the reasons behind it.

Decide with numbers
Three options. One recommendation.
IBIS doesn't stop at "it fails". It designs the alternatives, prices them over the building's life and tells you which one it would pick, and why.

Why option 3 wins
The most maintainable riser, for 9.6% more up front
- A union at every branch (65 taps): isolate a zone without draining the system.
- Lowest 25-year cost: $35K+ less than option 1, paid back in about 16 months.
- Safety margins: 3.2 fps velocity and 2.1 psi/100 ft, well inside the limits.
- Future-proof: supports floor additions and smart controls without redesign.
Reports, not just replies
Every answer leaves a paper trail.
Ask once and IBIS writes the deliverable: PDF reports with charts and code citations, Excel and CSV exports, and Revit schedules your team can check.

Who it's for
Powerful for every level.
From the boardroom to the jobsite, everyone asks IBIS in their own words.
Project managers & engineers
Run code checks, size systems, compare options and turn them into reports for the team.
"Run a risk analysis if the steel delivery is delayed by 3 weeks."
Field & construction teams
Pull model data, change orders and RFIs by asking, instead of digging through folders.
"Show me the pending RFIs on Level 3 MEP."
Executives
Project progress, cost scenarios and portfolio-wide analytics, as a question instead of a report request.
"What's the total cost variance across all active projects?"

Questions
Good questions, straight answers.
What is IBIS?
IBIS, the Intelligent Building Information System, is Genicon AI's agent for engineers and contractors. It runs inside Autodesk Revit as the Genicon AI assistant: you ask in plain language, and it reads the model, applies the code, runs the calculations and writes the report.
What can I ask it?
Inventories and schedules from the model, sizing checks, code compliance audits (for example against IPC 2021), cost breakdowns, and engineered options with a recommendation. Answers come with the code sections and the data they are based on, and can be saved as PDF, Excel or CSV.
Does it replace my engineers?
No. IBIS does the reading, counting and calculating; your engineers check the findings and make the call. That is why every answer cites its sources and every report shows the numbers behind it.
Which software does it work with?
The IBIS assistant works inside Autodesk Revit today. For Revit, AutoCAD and Navisworks add-ins built around your firm's own workflows, see the Enterprise plan on our pricing page.
Where does my project data go?
The assistant reads the model open in your Revit session. Answers are produced by Genicon's engineering engine together with a large language model (Claude Haiku 4.5 on the trial). Enterprise customers can choose on-premise or private-cloud deployment with SSO.
How do I get started?
Start the five-day free trial at ibis.genicon.ai/trial: your license is delivered instantly and no card is needed. Or book a demo and we'll walk through IBIS on one of your own models.
