Projects
Projects organize work in Nomic. A project groups files, conversations, and team members into a shared workspace. Any time a team needs shared context around a set of documents, a project is the right tool.
For example:
- A large commercial construction project linked to ACC, where all drawings, specs, and submittals sync automatically
- A small residential engagement with a tagged SharePoint folder of plans and contracts
- An internal operations team collaborating on workflow ideas with a shared knowledge base of firm standards
When linked to an ACC or Bentley project, all project files sync automatically. But you can just as easily create a project from scratch and populate it with uploaded files or documents from connected integrations.
A project collects:
- Files and tags — the context Assistant uses when answering questions in the project
- Conversations — all Assistant sessions started in the project, visible on the project page
- Members — teammates with access to the project's files and conversations
Project Context
The most important thing to configure in a project is its context — the files and tags that Assistant will use when solving tasks. Navigate to Project Settings → Project Context to manage context:
- Files — Attach specific files or folders from Files, or upload files directly. Assistant will search and read these files during conversations.
- Tags — Attach one or more tags. All files with those tags become available to Assistant, including files from SharePoint, Egnyte, or any other connected integration.
If no files or tags are attached, conversations in the project will only use files manually added during that session.
Members
Each project has its own member list with role-based access:
| Role | What they can do |
|---|---|
| Admin | Edit settings, manage members, attach context, delete the project |
| Member | Start conversations, view files and context |
To invite a teammate, click Invite from Project Settings → Members and enter their email address. Invited users join as Members. To remove a member, use the actions menu on their row. You cannot remove the project owner or yourself.
Linked Integrations
If your organization has the ACC or Bentley integration enabled, a project can be linked to an external project. Linked projects are indicated by a badge in the Projects list.
Linked projects automatically sync all project files — drawings, specifications, submittals, and documentation — so Assistant has access without any manual file attachment. See the ACC or Bentley integration docs for setup instructions.
