Concepts
Building blocks
Everything in bimai is one of five things.
| Block | What it is | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Team | A few agent roles, picked for a person during onboarding | Coordinator, Issue Manager, Scribe |
| Workflow | Steps chained in order or in parallel | Weekly coordination: fetch issues and models, check, review, write agenda |
| Pack | One reusable BIM procedure: instructions, scripts, templates and tests | meeting-intake, requirements-status |
| Connector | A standard bridge to one tool or data source | ACC, Revit, Civil 3D, OpenRoads, IFC, Relatics export |
| Automation | A workflow on a schedule | Daily issue digest at 07:45 |
Two pieces tie them together: the gateway, the single connection point through which agents reach every tool under the same safety rules, and the workflow engine, which runs workflows interactively or on a schedule.
bimai doesn't have its own AI engine. It configures Claude Code, the way a Linux distribution configures a kernel: improvements to the engine make bimai better for free.
