Piloti or Reiner AI?

Piloti is built for planning offices in Austria: it reads the state building code, the OIB guidelines and your drawings, and backs every answer with its citation. Reiner AI is an AI tool for construction and contract documents in Germany. Here is the comparison.

This means Reiner AI (reiner.ai) from Germany, often searched for as “Rainer AI”. Reiner AI details as stated on reiner.ai.

In short

For planning questions in Austria, Piloti is the better choice: it works with the nine state building codes from RIS and the OIB guidelines, checks every citation before showing it and brings tasks, reports and approvals into the project. Reiner AI is geared to German construction contracts and HOAI.

Where Piloti is ahead

  • Austrian building law as the foundation: the nine state building codes from RIS and the OIB guidelines, cited the way an official decision cites them.
  • The state matters. Piloti names the OIB edition that applies in your project’s state and opens the RIS passage inside the tool.
  • Evidence that holds: every citation is checked against the source text before it is shown, down to section, clause or page.
  • The project as the place of work. Drawings, permits and answers sit where the team works, with versions, approval and a memory of what is already settled.
  • A question becomes work: in-depth research with a report filed in the project, findings as open points, file notes sent for approval.

What Reiner AI is good for

  • Offices in Germany whose questions hinge on LBO, HOAI, VOB, DIN and DWA.
  • Ready-made agents for site management and tendering, from minutes to the final invoice.
  • Teams that work in SharePoint or Google Drive and want to connect them.

Why the market makes the difference

Building law is state law in Germany and in Austria alike, but they are different states and different laws. A German state building code, DIN and VOB do not help an office in Graz or Linz. In Austria the technical requirements hinge on the OIB guidelines, which each state declares binding in its own edition.

A tool for Austrian projects therefore has to know which state applies, and cite the passage so you find it again in RIS. That is what Piloti is built for: it asks for the state, reads that state’s building code and files the result where your team works on the project.

Good to know

Piloti is built for Austrian law; VOB, HOAI and German state building codes are not part of it. Responsibility for the design stays with the office: Piloti names the source of every answer so you can check it, and asks when a deciding fact is missing.

Questions

Is Reiner AI available for Austria?

reiner.ai names German regulations such as LBO, HOAI, VOB, DIN and DWA, but neither the OIB guidelines nor Austrian state law (as of September 2026). Piloti is built for projects in Austria: with the nine state building codes from RIS and the OIB guidelines.

Is “Rainer AI” the same as Reiner AI?

Yes, it almost always means Reiner AI (reiner.ai), an AI platform for building design from Germany. The name is often searched with an “a”.

What does Reiner AI cost compared with Piloti?

Reiner AI lists €49, €99 or €299 per user per month billed annually on its website. Piloti is in its pilot phase with selected offices: pilot offices agree terms directly with us, the founders.

Is my data used for training?

No. Piloti does not train models on your office’s data, your drawings remain the office’s property, and no other office sees your office archive. Reiner AI also states a “Zero-Training Policy”. The details for Piloti are in the privacy policy.
