Could you build this?
No The product uses AI to draft and check P&IDs and engineering drawings in native CAD formats, which needs deep process-engineering expertise, CAD integration, and safety-critical validation that a vibe-coded product cannot supply.
What it would actually take: A real version requires computer vision trained on P&ID symbology and line-list conventions, integration with native CAD tools (AutoCAD, SmartPlant, Bluebeam) via their APIs or file formats, and rule-based cross-document consistency checks. Credibility with EPC firms also depends on process and piping engineers validating outputs, given the safety and regulatory stakes.
