Getting started

Getting started with Alloovium

Alloovium turns your project documents, emails, and site records into a living record you can question, draft from, and prove things with. This page takes you from a fresh account to your first cited answer.

What Alloovium is

Alloovium is an AI platform for construction and AEC teams. You bring the project record — contracts, specifications, drawings, emails, minutes, site diaries — and Alloovium reads all of it, so you can ask questions in plain language and get answers with citations back to the exact clause, drawing, or email they came from.

Everything is organised into Projects: one workspace per contract, tender, or job site, each with its own documents, people, and history. Above projects sits your Organization — the company-wide library of templates, standards, contacts, and lessons that every project can draw on.

The Today dashboard — the week's calendar with planned site work pinned above the hours, the Needs attention queue and your routines on the right, recent activity below, and the ask-anything bar always within reach at the bottom.

Who is Alloovium for?

Project managers, contract administrators, engineers, and estimators — anyone who spends their day inside dense technical and legal documents and needs answers they can defend.

Your first hour

Five steps from a fresh account to a working project. Most teams get their first cited answer within minutes of uploading.

  1. Sign in — or accept your invite

    Sign up at alloovium.com with your work email, or follow the invite link a teammate sent you. Invited users land directly in the projects they were given access to — no setup required.

  2. Create your first project

    Click "New Project", give it a name like "Northgate Tower — Main Works", and add an optional description. Projects are private until you invite people.

  3. Upload your documents

    Drag PDFs, Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files — or whole folders — into the project. Processing (OCR, classification, indexing) runs automatically, and Auto-sort proposes a folder for every file, for your review, before anything moves.

  4. Ask your first question

    Type into the ask bar on the project's Files tab — "What's the defects liability period?" — and get an answer with numbered citations back to the source.

  5. Open Today

    Today is your daily cockpit: the calendar spine, the "Needs you" queue, and the activity feed. It fills up as your projects come alive.

The Auto-sort review after uploading a mixed batch — six files grouped under their suggested destination folders, each showing where it moves from, and nothing moves until you press Sort files.

Ask your first question

Every answer carries numbered citations. Click one and the source document opens with the supporting passage highlighted — so you never have to take the AI's word for it. This is the core promise of Alloovium: answers with receipts.

An assistant answer to a contract question — two paragraphs with numbered citation chips, and the source document open beside it with the cited clause highlighted.

Jump anywhere with ⌘K

The command palette finds documents, projects, and people from anywhere in the app. Press ⌘K (Ctrl+K on Windows) and start typing.

Inviting your team

Access in Alloovium is granted through user groups, not per-person role picking. When you invite someone you choose which groups they join; each group carries a permission matrix that decides what its members can see and do. A Read-only group is preselected for new invitees, so the safe default is one click.

Invite people to the whole organisation from Organization → People, or to a single project from the project's People tab. You can create a new group inline during the invite — including copying an existing group's permissions as a starting point.

The organisation invite page — addresses staged as chips at the top, the group picker with Read only preselected, and the selected group's permission matrix shown inline so you can see exactly what the invite grants.

The full access model — groups, the permission matrix, and project membership — is covered in Teams & Groups.
