Now in development with leading EPC firms

The system of intelligence for industrial engineering.

Verno unifies the EPC design process for P&IDs: we generate, edit, and QA/QC your P&IDs at the speed modern industrial projects demand. So you can focus on engineering, and we take care of the documentation.

The bottleneck

P&IDs are the backbone of industrial design — and the biggest drag on project velocity.

Every plant, refinery, and facility runs on Piping & Instrumentation Diagrams. Yet creating, editing, and quality-checking them remains stubbornly manual — a slow loop of CAD edits, redlines, and tribal knowledge spread across thousands of static drawings.

For brownfield projects, the problem compounds: legacy documentation is fragmented, outdated, and often locked in scans. Engineers spend more time reconciling drawings than designing the plant.

The platform

One AI-native graph for the entire P&ID lifecycle.

Instead of treating diagrams as static drawings, Verno represents your plant as a live, structured graph — so AI can reason over it, engineers can edit it, and downstream tools can consume it.

01

Ingest & digitize

Upload legacy P&IDs — scans, PDFs, or native CAD. Verno's vision models extract equipment, lines, instruments, and tags into a structured engineering graph with full provenance.

  • Native CAD import
02

Edit & generate with AI agents

Work on a single source of truth. AI agents propose edits, generate net-new diagrams from specs, and keep equipment, lines, and instruments consistent across the entire project.

  • Spec-driven generation
  • Cross-drawing consistency
  • Engineer-in-the-loop review
03

Automated QA/QC & export

Continuous rule-based and model-based checks flag errors before they reach the field. Export to DEXPI, native CAD, and downstream EPC tooling without manual cleanup.

  • 1,000+ engineering checks
  • CAD export
  • Audit-ready change history
Built for

For the teams designing and operating the world's industrial infrastructure.

EPC firms

Compress front-end engineering schedules, win more bids, and deliver higher-quality design packages without growing headcount.

  • Accelerate FEED and detailed design
  • Standardize across offices and disciplines

Industrial owner-operators

Bring brownfield documentation back to life. Keep your as-built P&IDs continuously accurate as the plant evolves.

  • Help digitize legacy drawing libraries
  • Maintain a live digital twin of plant topology
  • Cut MOC and turnaround engineering cycles
Team

Process engineers and AI researchers, in one room.

Verno is built by a team that has shipped both industrial design packages and production AI systems. We pair deep domain expertise with frontier ML research.
