AI-Native AV Engineering Platform

Design once.
Engineer once.
Draw everywhere.

DEPilot replaces AutoCAD + Visio + Excel + Bluebeam + Word with one engineering database where every drawing is a live view of the same model.

The Problem

AV engineering is stuck in the 1990s

Most AV firms design in AutoCAD, document in Word, schedule in Excel, and validate by memory. It's slow, error-prone, and nothing stays in sync.

Disconnected tools
BEFORE

AutoCAD + Visio + Excel + Bluebeam + Word

DEPILOT

One engineering database, every drawing is a live view

Manual updates
BEFORE

Change one device, update 8 drawings by hand

DEPILOT

Change once, every affected drawing updates automatically

No validation
BEFORE

Port conflicts found during commissioning, not design

DEPILOT

27+ rules catch errors in real time as you design

Document chaos
BEFORE

BOMs in Excel, drawings in CAD, specs in Word — never in sync

DEPILOT

Every document generated from the live engineering model

Platform Modules

Every discipline. One platform.

From scope to punch list — DEPilot covers the full AV engineering lifecycle with purpose-built modules sharing a single engineering database.

The Differentiator

Engineering Database First

Traditional AV tools make you draw first, then manage the chaos. DEPilot builds the engineering model first — every drawing is just a view. Change one connection. Every affected drawing updates automatically.

Every Drawing

One Model, Many Views

Rack drawings, signal flows, floor plans, schedules — all generated from the same engineering data. No manual syncing. Ever.

Real-Time Validation

Port count mismatches, power overloads, cable distance violations, DSP routing errors — caught automatically as you design, not at 2am before bid day.

Live Documentation

BOD narratives, BOM, wiring schedules, cable schedules, commissioning checklists — always current because they pull from the live model.

Your AI co-engineer with 20 years of AV knowledge

DEPilot AI isn't generic ChatGPT pasted onto a UI. It's a purpose-built AV engineering assistant that understands Crestron SIMPL, Biamp Tesira block diagrams, Dante clock domains, AVIXA 4OHMS calculations, and real-world system design trade-offs.

Design entire room systems

From a text description to complete equipment list, signal flow, rack, network, and power plan

Analyze signal flows

AI reviews your signal chain for broken paths, AEC reference issues, and single points of failure

Impact analysis

Swap a device and instantly see cost delta, programming impact, and affected subsystems

Standards compliance

AVIXA A-102, 4OHMS, ADA, NEC 725, NFPA 70, UL 2043 — all built into the AI knowledge base
