Citehouse Gateway

The licensed retrieval layer for the agentic web.

The agentic web needs paid retrieval over engineering's source-of-truth content. Citehouse hosts the gateway, the society keeps the rights, and agents pay per call. ASME, SAE, ACI, and AWWA — coming online through 2026.

What Citehouse does

One gateway, three audiences, one rights story.

For societies

Your corpus, agent-callable.

White-labeled, per-call revenue back to you. AISC, NFPA, ICC, and ASCE built theirs in-house. Citehouse builds yours.

See the partnership

For agent builders

One MCP, every standard.

One MCP endpoint, every licensed engineering standard, with citation-grade retrieval and a clean rights story. Stripe metered billing. Indemnified.

Read the integration

For engineers

Citations you can check.

When your copilot cites a standard, the citation is checkable, the source is the society of record, and the retrieval is licensed.

Architecture

Agent → gateway → corpus. Money back to the society.

Three parties, one contract pattern. The agent integrates once. The society keeps the brand and the rights. Citehouse meters the call, settles the payment, and writes the citation.

Why now

The use case is no longer theoretical.

Four engineering societies built and shipped agent-callable endpoints over their own corpora in the last 18 months. The use case is proven. The infrastructure is missing for the rest.

  • AISC

    Shipped Clark, an AI assistant on the Steel Construction Manual. March 2025.

    AISC 360 ch. F

  • NFPA

    Shipped LiNK, a paid AI tool over NEC and life-safety codes.

    NFPA 70 art. 250

  • ICC

    Shipped AI Navigator on the I-codes. Subscription tiered by code family.

    IBC ch. 16

  • ASCE

    Shipped Eaves in April 2026. Paid AI assistant on the ASCE 7 family.

    ASCE 7-22 ch. 12

AISC, NFPA, ICC, and ASCE are proof points, not customers. Citehouse is for the engineering societies who have not yet built theirs.

Pricing

Per-call rates from $0.12 to $0.30 per 1K tokens returned.

Usage is billed monthly through Stripe metered billing. Pilot tier is capped at 1M tokens with no monthly minimum for the first 90 days. Society partners take 60–70% of attributed revenue.
