Quickstart
Nomic connects your project files and standards so Assistant can review drawings, submittals, and code compliance against them, with citations on every answer.
You will bring data into Nomic, then ask Assistant for what you need—and package the jobs you repeat as workflows. Use the path below that matches how you arrived, then follow the numbered steps.
Choose your path
Individual plan
Sign up at app.nomic.ai with a company email. Upload files and start in Assistant — no admin setup. See Plans.
I was invited to my organization
Accept the email invite and sign in to your firm's Nomic instance (<org>.drive.nomic.ai). Skip ahead to Connect your data—you do not need to request access separately.
I am setting up Nomic for my firm
Start with Admin setup and Integrations so project data syncs reliably before you roll Assistant out broadly. To evaluate Business or Enterprise, book a demo.
1. Get access to Nomic
Sign in or request access
Pick the option that applies:
Individual plan
Create an account at app.nomic.ai. Use a company email. You get trial AI usage, then can subscribe for \$20/mo — see Plans.
Join an existing organization
If your firm already uses Nomic, ask your administrator to invite you. You'll receive an email invitation to create your account on <org>.drive.nomic.ai.
Request a Business or Enterprise instance
Need SSO, live integrations, and shared projects? Book a demo. Do not create an Individual account for firm-wide work.
Individual: continue on app.nomic.ai. Organization: log in to
your firm's instance URL from the invite.
2. Connect your data
Typical time: a few minutes with uploads; longer when configuring integrations.
Give the Nomic agent context
You can start without integrations: upload files directly. On Business and Enterprise, connect Autodesk Forma, SharePoint, Egnyte, or other sources for ongoing sync.
Upload files directly
Drag and drop files or images into Assistant for immediate use.
Connect integrations
Business and Enterprise: set up integrations to sync project files automatically. Individual plan: upload files.
On organization instances, administrators configure connections in Admin → Integrations.
3. Get your first result
Chat or run a workflow
Chat with Assistant (fastest)
The Nomic agent searches, reads, and reasons over your project data—drawings, manuals, specs, submittals, and similar files—with citations. Prompts that do not point at files you have uploaded or synced tend to yield generic answers that are not grounded in your project data, so start from data you connected in step 2.
Before you prompt: open a project that already contains files, or use Add on the input bar to attach files or images for this session (see Uploads).
Try prompts that reference what you brought in:
- “Summarize the main coordination notes on the drawing sheets I attached.”
- “What does this submittal PDF say about [installation requirement or product]?”
- “Compare these two details—what conflicts or mismatches do you see?”
The big jobs work the same way—ask for a
drawing review, a submittal review, or a code check and Assistant runs it in the conversation. See Built-in skills for what each one produces.
Turn on Deep Research when you want a slower, broader pass across many files in the project.
Run a workflow (repeatable)
Once the same job runs weekly and everyone should get the same output, package it as a workflow. Browse the Workflows tab for Nomic's starter workflows—clone one, adjust it in the builder, and your team runs it from a file-request form. See
Workflows for when it is worth it and Run a workflow for run instructions.
