Why We Built This

Varanasi Sri Aditya

Varanasi Sri Aditya

Founder

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.

Did you know?

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.
