Context Sources
Nomic Assistant answers questions and runs workflows using your project data. Context sources are the integrations that bring your files, drawings, and specifications into Assistant—so it can search, reference, and reason over your actual work.
This section describes what context Assistant has access to and what you can do with it. Your IT admin configures these integrations; this documentation is for end users who want to understand what Assistant can see and how to use it.

Two Types of Context
Project Delivery (ACC, Bentley)
When your admin links an ACC or Bentley project to Nomic, Assistant automatically gets access to all project files—drawings, specifications, submittals, and documentation. No tagging required.
- Automatic sync — New and updated files are indexed as they appear in the project
- Project-scoped — Assistant knows which files belong to which project
- Best for — Active project research, code compliance, submittal reviews, and RFI automation
File Storage (SharePoint, Egnyte)
SharePoint and Egnyte connect to your document management system. Your admin selects which sites or folders to sync. Assistant can search across firm standards, past projects, and historical documentation.
- Admin-selected sync — Admins choose which sites or folders to bring into Nomic
- Firm-wide or project-tagged — Files may be tagged to associate them with specific projects or capabilities
- Best for — Research across past projects, firm standards, and historical documentation
