The Smarter Alternative to Pirros with AI-Powered Detail Management for AEC Teams

Pirros is a detail management platform that helps firms organize, tag, and surface existing Revit details from past projects. PiAxis does all of that, and goes further. It uses AI trained on your firm’s standards to auto-suggest relevant details the moment you place a callout in Revit, and can generate new project-ready details based on your firm’s historical work. Where Pirros is a governed catalog, PiAxis is an active AI co-pilot embedded directly in your Revit workflow.


What PiAxis Does That Pirros Doesn't

AI That Generates New Details, Not Just Stores Them

Pirros excels at managing and governing your existing detail library. PiAxis goes a step further by using AI trained on your firm’s standards to:

The result: your team stops redrawing and starts deploying.

Context-Aware Auto-Suggestions Inside Revit

PiAxis understands the context of what you’re drawing in real time. When you place a callout, PiAxis automatically surfaces the most relevant firm-approved details. This reduces:

Why Firms Choose PiAxis Over Pirros

Firms evaluating Pirros often find that a well-organized catalog is only half the battle. Retrieving the right detail at the right moment, and generating new ones without starting from scratch, requires a layer of intelligence that Pirros doesn’t offer.

Over time, the system becomes more valuable with every project.
