Our Founding Vision
Akoncagua AI was founded by Tom Mims and Patrick Mims with a shared vision to transform the civil engineering industry through artificial intelligence. Their mission was to address longstanding inefficiencies in engineering design, development, and government permitting by creating advanced AI technologies capable of reducing costs, accelerating project timelines, and improving regulatory processes.
Drawing on their experience in land ownership, real estate development, business operations, and public policy, the founders recognized that inefficiencies throughout the development process create substantial financial burdens. These costs ultimately extend beyond developers and businesses to the consumers, communities, and industries they serve.
Beyond engineering design, Akoncagua AI seeks to provide government agencies and policymakers with tools to better understand the economic impacts of regulations, permitting requirements, and policy changes. By evaluating how these decisions affect residential, commercial, and industrial development, the technology can support more informed policymaking and greater transparency.
At its core, Akoncagua AI was founded on a simple principle:Engineering and regulatory processes should enable progress, not create unnecessary barriers to it.Through artificial intelligence, Akoncagua aims to redefine how projects are designed, evaluated, and approved, creating lasting value for engineers, developers, governments, and the communities they serve.

The Team Behind the Future
Our team of computer engineers have been recruited from all over the United States. They are developing a program designed to create engineering applications that presently do not exist in the marketplace. Our process will revolutionize the engineering environment and applications. Akoncagua AI will also allow us to analyze and hold government accountable and clarify the true cost of specific regulations and policy changes. Each team member brings extensive knowledge and experience in AI technologies and agentic learning.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are we building?
Akoncagua AI is in active development, and we’re excited about what’s ahead. Our goal is to provide tools which will significantly increase the speed and effectiveness of various engineering applications and the efficiencies of governmental functions.
How does Akoncagua AI work?
Our team is developing an approach that draws upon large data sets that we have created which allows us to compare regulatory requirements to evaluate their cost implications and provide quicker response for governmental services. In addition, our data set has allowed us to build a Large Language Model (LLM) to a multitude of engineering applications.
