New Agentic AI Platform Advances Cost, Schedule and Risk Estimation for Manufacturers

Software helps engineers estimate cost and set schedules for products and projects.

SEERai uses a multi-agent architecture to streamline early-phase estimation and accelerate decision-making.

November 4, 2025

LONG BEACH, CA—Galorath Inc. has launched SEERai, a new agentic AI platform engineered to deliver secure, traceable and audit-ready cost, schedule and risk insights for manufacturing, aerospace, defense and IT programs. SEERai converts natural-language project data into structured outputs in a matter of hours.

At the core of the platform is Galorath’s Instant Retrieval-Augmented Generation (Instant RAG) technology, which connects AI reasoning directly to validated historical and operational data. This approach eliminates opaque outputs common to general-purpose AI tools, ensuring every data point is traceable back to its source. SEERai can operate independently or integrate with Galorath’s SEER cost and schedule modeling suite.

“Most generative AI produces generalized responses; SEERai produces proof,” said Charles Orlando, chief strategy officer at Galorath. “For industries requiring traceability, SEERai combines AI precision with human expertise to deliver intelligence organizations can trust.”

SEERai uses a multi-agent architecture to streamline early-phase estimation and accelerate decision-making:

  • Estimation and 2D/3D-to-cost agents turn technical documents—RFPs, BOMs, WBS files, drawings—into structured cost and schedule artifacts, reducing manual rework.
  • Software sizing, RFP and proposal agents convert planning files into quantifiable estimates and generate compliant first-draft responses, cutting proposal turnaround times.
  • Competitive bid and market intelligence agents model price-to-win strategies and analyze market trends.
  • Risk assessment agents detect hidden schedule or cost vulnerabilities early in the planning cycle.
  • Knowledge capture and help agents preserve expert logic and speed onboarding.

Early adopters report significant time savings. “SEERai gives our teams a faster, clearer view of program cost dynamics,” said Anderson Atabongakeng, systems engineer at Boeing.

SEERai supports on-premises, hybrid, air-gapped, and private-cloud deployments, with isolated-tenant architecture, end-to-end encryption, and enterprise-grade access controls. The platform aligns with global compliance standards—including ISO/IEC 27001, FedRAMP Moderate, K-ISMS/CSAP, GDPR, and ITAR/EAR—making it suitable for secure manufacturing, government, and commercial applications.
