Buildots has launched Dot, an interactive AI assistant for construction process management that answers questions with up-to-date information about the status of building activities.
Buildots claims the new tool is the first of its kind in construction, leveraging the company’s dataset and GenAI to provide instant, actionable insights in response to direct questions.
Powered by OpenAI’s latest GPT models and trained by Buildots to work for construction, Dot cross-references multiple data points to provide analysis, making it easier to measure progress, track implementation, and provide visibility to resolve issues before they escalate, Buildots claims.
Project teams can ask questions in natural language, such as: “Give me a list of apartments where drywall closure is completed but bathroom tiling hasn’t started.” In this way, Dot democratises data retrieval, according to Buildots.
Buildots co-founder and chief executive Roy Danon explained: “Our mission has always been to enable better construction management to allow site leaders to deliver projects on time and within budget. With Dot, we’re enabling a whole new way of accessing project information, as if they’re speaking with a colleague, receiving precise insights when they need them.
“This AI assistant is transformative, giving project teams superpowers in terms of how they can access and interpret project data to enhance decision-making.”
Nick Leach, director of digital construction at Sir Robert McAlpine, added: “There is real value and potential in using Dot. I can see more members across our project teams, including our senior executives, engaging further and getting value from this new functionality in their day-to-day adoption and enhancing business insights that it will potentially bring.”
