Quick context on me: I'm not a surveyor. I build tools for AEC teams, and I spend most of my time working alongside surveyors and engineers to smooth out the tedious parts of their process. Title commitment review kept coming up in those conversations, so it was one of the first things I built for.
Here's what the AECFirmAI Title Commitment tool does in practice. You upload a title commitment — say a 21-page one with 24 linked exceptions. Then you go get a cup of coffee. By the time you're back, in under five minutes, it's downloaded all 24 exception documents, read through them (380 pages), built a complete exception data table, and drafted some preliminary CAD files from the legal descriptions.
It's a first pass, not magic — anything it isn't sure about gets flagged for you to review rather than guessed at. The point is that it takes the document-chasing and data-entry off your plate so your time goes to the survey work instead of the paperwork around it.
Curious how is this any different than using ChatGPT or Claude? Both can do the same thing.

@stlsurveyor Completely legitimate question. At the firm I worked for they could clearly do this before I made this tool, the real value of the tool is regaining time. And I have not found any prompt that can handle the process from start to finish and also the organized output. Uploading one PDF Title Commitment kicks off a serious of actions, all happening in the background. Here is a completely free version if you want to give it a shot: removed link
Ever since I started dinking around with computers in college (1979), this is the kind of tool that I have always hoped computers could do for us. I'm happy to see now, roughly 47 years later, that hope coming to fruition.
