ELGIN, ILL., USA – June 1, 2026 – BIMsmith, the leading platform for building product research and BIM content, today announced the next evolution of Detail Shelf, featuring AI-powered search capabilities and expanded access to manufacturer construction details across a growing range of building product categories.

The release improves how architects, engineers, and specifiers discover technical content by combining a significantly expanded detail library with intelligent AI search technology that understands detail attributes and context.

Since its launch in 2020, Detail Shelf has helped design professionals access thousands of manufacturer-provided construction details. The enhanced platform released today builds on that success by increasing content availability and making it easier to navigate complex technical information through AI-driven discovery tools.

“Construction details are among the most valuable resources manufacturers provide, but historically they've been difficult to find and organize at scale,” said Benjamin Glunz, CEO of BIMsmith. “We've expanded the amount of information available through Detail Shelf and paired it with AI technology that helps users get to the answers they're looking for faster.”

The new search experience is powered by Gaudi AI, the architect-trained AI platform developed by Anguleris specifically for building product research.

For manufacturers, the enhanced Detail Shelf platform creates new opportunities for technical content to be discovered within active design workflows. By making details more searchable and accessible, BIMsmith helps connect product information with the architects and engineers making specification decisions.

“Architects don't want to spend their time hunting through folders and PDFs,” added Glunz. “They want immediate access to trusted technical information that helps them move a project forward. This upgrade delivers exactly that.”

The upgraded Detail Shelf is available now as part of the BIMsmith platform and remains free for architects, engineers, and specifiers.
