I was working at a fiber company and watched our team burn hours filling out permit forms for every city. Same pole data, different formats, endless back and forth. A single project could span 15 jurisdictions, each with its own PDF, online portal, or paper form.
📊 25-30% permit rejection rate costs ISPs $10K-$50K per project
So we built PermitAI to solve this. AI-powered automation that turns any engineering drawing into jurisdiction-ready permit applications. We started with fiber because that's where I saw the pain firsthand, but the platform works for any permit type.
See how we solved it →In 2025, most U.S. permit coordinators still type permit applications directly into static or scanned PDFs.
Manual entry is common, with field-by-field copying in tools like Sejda or PDFfiller. Fewer than 1 in 4 government agencies offer real, digital fillable forms.
This wastes thousands of hours every year. Incumbents can't fix it because they built for clean digital-native forms, not legacy PDFs.
