As former Global Lead, Commercial & Technology Strategy at Microsoft, where I led enterprise transformation initiatives and global technology partnerships for nearly a decade, I am pleased to partner with Downunder Group to support the global expansion of Automatic Engineer.
Automatic Engineer introduces a new category of enterprise engineering intelligence enabling organisations operating in time-critical sectors such as data centres and major infrastructure to materially improve decision velocity, compliance certainty, cost control and delivery confidence.
By embedding structured engineering knowledge into workflows, the platform has the potential to significantly reduce rework, accelerate approvals and enhance commercial outcomes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Automatic Engineer is an engineering intelligence platform powered by persistent validation technology. It is positioned at the intersection of AI and Engineering and connects design, cost, compliance, and risk into one intelligent system - instantly showing the impact of changes and helping teams stay aligned and compliant.
Automatic Engineer is designed for professional employees of all levels and functions in an organisation including:
- Engineering firms and consultants
- Infrastructure and construction companies
- Project managers and developers
- Government Organisations and Delivery Authorities
- Technical teams handling complex documentation
- ESG and Sustainability teams at all stages of projects
- Commercial and legal teams supporting engineering projects
- Risk, Opportunity and Value Engineering teams at any stage of projects
In short, it is for anyone who needs to understand, validate, and optimise engineering information with more certainty and visibility.
Key capabilities include:
- AI analysis of engineering documents and drawings
- Design compliance and standards checking
- Risk, opportunity, and value engineering insights
- ESG, safety, and sustainability assessment
- Commercial and contractual intelligence
- Project and document control automation
- Modular dashboards across six engineering domains
The platform transforms raw technical information and fragmented engineering process into structured, actionable intelligence.
The platform is intuitive and utiliises agentic AI with the following general process:
- Employees select projects or upload documents to get started
- Areas of expertise and interest are contained in modules where colleagues collaborate to develop the foundation of project deliverables
- Automatic Engineer provides co-pilot support, organisational reach and projectwide assurance using constraint validation technology
- Inputs and outputs are co-developed and controlled within the project
The process is designed to be fast, secure, and scalable.
Automatic Engineer is engineering sector-agnostic and typical use cases include:
- Engineering design review and value engineering
- EOI, tender and bid analysis
- Risk and opportunity analysis, identification and implementation
- Compliance with standards and regulations
- ESG, sustainability, carbon and safety reporting
- Commercial and contractual review
- SWOT, win themes, optimisation, cost savings enablers
- Data analysis (past projects) and AI-assisted decision-making
Most AI agents are conversational layers on top of large language models. They generate outputs on what they find, but they do not maintain engineering truth. Automatic Engineer is fundamentally different. It operates as a machine-enforced engineering state engine — maintaining structured project intelligence across time, artefacts, standards and decisions. The following key differences are outlined.
Design & Purpose
AI Agents are a one-on-one tool designed to answer a query. Automatic Engineer is an analytical based validation platform that is designed to put people at the heart of the organisation, supported by an intelligence framework that empowers teams, not solo work.
Architecture & Operation
AI Agents are prompt-driven and probabilistic. They operate statelessly unless explicitly orchestrated. They have also been trained for broad application with a 'find the best answer' directive that usually works well in general use cases. Automatic Engineer is rule-based and deterministic at state layer, meaning it structures engineering artefacts into a dependency graph, maintains constraint consistency, and performs bounded propagation within pre-determined modules.
Automatic Engineer is not a document management system, it is a validation system at its core. Enterprise clients can connect to SharePoint for example, and Automatic Engineer will read and validate documents as a policy and procedure approved controlled step before that data is relied upon. This is a fundamental differentiator to most organsiations where quality of information is not machine-enforced.
Automatic Engineer further employs a systematic approach to validating data through block-chain inspired date stamping protocols, and a validation engine specifically designed for engineering application ecosystems.
ProjectWise is primarily a CDE (Common Data Environment) and design collaboration system. Automatic Engineer sits above the CDE and ingests artefacts from platforms like ProjectWise and then applies:
- Cross-module compliance reconciliation
- Machine-enforced validated state maintenance
- Dependency-based constraint analysis
Therefore, rather than managing version control, it manages engineering consistency. Automatic Engineer is also designed for organisational access and institutional project learning continuity, which is a fundamental differentiator to platforms where projects are designed to start and stop in isolation.
