Executive Summary

What the company appears to be

A single-person project named Document AI — Épure 3D, submitted to the OpenAI 2026 hackathon. The author describes it as a tool that turns scanned technical drawings into interactive 3D geometry for learning.

What changed

No evidence of prior version, traction or commercial activity is provided. This is a self-reported project submitted in a hackathon context.

Single most important open question

Is there any evidence of product-market fit, customer feedback, or revenue generation beyond the author’s own description?

Diligence Questions To Ask The Founders

  1. What specific technical drawings does the tool support?
  2. How does the AI process scanned drawings to generate 3D geometry?
  3. Is there any feedback from users or educators who tested the tool?
  4. What is the intended monetization strategy, if any?
  5. Are you planning to develop this beyond the hackathon?
