Architecture firm leaders often lose valuable time answering the same internal questions about PTO, reimbursements, remote work, AI use, and company procedures.

The episode explores how retrieval-augmented generation keeps answers grounded in approved company information, provides confidence scores and source links, and reveals gaps in existing documentation. They also demonstrate ArchIT’s Policy Bot in Microsoft Teams and explain how the same approach can become a searchable knowledge base for firmwide policies, SOPs, design standards, and institutional knowledge.

In the final episode of our submittal series, we combine three AI-assisted workflows—intake, review, and resubmittal tracking—into one complete Submittal Lifecycle Skill for architecture firms.See how test cases uncovered an intake sequencing bug and a missing-document guardrail, why human approval gates remain essential, and how firms can begin with supervised document processing before adding integrations, dashboards, or scheduled automation.

Submittal review does not end when an architect returns a package marked “revise and resubmit.” Someone still has to track the open item, receive the next revision, compare it with the original submission, confirm whether every comment was addressed, update the project record, and prepare the response to the contractor.

That final stretch is essential, but much of it is also repetitive and time-consuming. In Episode 3 of Design Under Influence, Alex Osenenko and Boris Rapoport demonstrate how AI can assist with tracking and resubmittals while preserving the most important control in the process:

the human gate.
