Questions engineers ask about Verno.
What Verno is, the words we use for the work, and how your drawings are kept private.
What is Verno?
Verno is AI software for P&IDs and the engineering documents around them. It drafts redlined changes into native CAD files, checks drawings against the project's lists, and keeps those documents in sync. Verno, Inc. is backed by Y Combinator.
Who uses Verno?
Process and instrumentation engineers at EPC firms and industrial owner-operators.
What is a P&ID?
A piping and instrumentation diagram shows how a plant's pipes, valves, instruments and equipment connect. It is the master drawing many other engineering documents are derived from.
What is a markup or redline?
One annotation on a drawing showing a change: a cloud, a strikeout, an addition or a note.
What is a change, in Verno?
A group of markups that belong together. Adding a pump with its valves and strainer is one change made of several markups.
What is an incorporation?
A proposed change actually written into the drawing file, after an engineer accepts it. Approval alone is not incorporation.
What is a revision?
An official, issued state of a drawing, released to the client. Verno keeps every revision with a full audit trail.
Does Verno train on our drawings?
No. Your documents are never used to train shared models.
Where does our data sit?
Each project runs in its own isolated, single-tenant environment, in the region your policy requires.
How do we try Verno?
Request a demo and point us at a task your team repeats. We will demo on your drawings, not a sample.
