Procore Embeds AI Agents Into Construction Platform to Automate Workflows
Procore Technologies announced expanded AI capabilities that move beyond chatbots to agents that execute work directly within the platform. The new agents, powered by embedded Datagrid intelligence, can update records, generate documents, and coordinate workflows without leaving the software construction teams already use.
The shift reflects a fundamental change in how construction software handles AI. Rather than answering questions in isolation, these agents use two core capabilities: Actions that execute tasks inside Procore and connected systems, and Triggers that automatically respond to events like new submittals or RFIs based on project rules.
Five New Agents Handle High-Volume Tasks
Procore launched five initial agents designed to reduce manual work on common construction tasks:
- Deep Search Agent: Searches specifications, drawings, and RFIs. It consolidates references, flags conflicts, and links to source files.
- Submittal Reviewer Agent: Reviews new submittals against project specs and flags discrepancies directly in the submittal record.
- RFI Agent: Checks RFIs for completeness and suggests edits with relevant attached documents.
- Daily Log Agent: Aggregates photos, emails, and voice notes to draft daily logs for human review.
- Contract Review Agent: Identifies contract conflicts and adds comments directly within contracts, drawings, and specs.
How the Technology Works
The agents reason across construction documents-drawings, specifications, photos-while maintaining Procore's enterprise-grade security and permissions. All responses include citations to source documents, and agents require human approval before finalizing actions.
Thiago da Costa, SVP of AI & Data at Procore, said the approach differs from existing construction AI tools. "These systems are designed to understand what's happening in Procore, decide what needs to be done, and take action directly within the platform," he said.
Early Results From Contractors
Bernard's, a general contractor, tested the RFI Agent on a real discrepancy between drawings and specifications. The agent identified the issue, recommended issuing an RFI, and suggested specific questions for the design team-work a project engineer would typically handle.
Level 10 Construction built a submittal review agent around its internal workflows and standards. The company ran 10 submittal reviews in one hour using the agent, saving approximately 12 hours of manual work. On a recent project, the agent caught critical errors that could have caused a full week of delays.
Availability and Pricing
Datagrid embedded in Procore is currently in private beta, with broader availability expected beginning this summer. Existing Datagrid Pro and Enterprise offerings remain available, priced on a credit consumption model.
The expansion addresses a persistent problem in construction: labor shortages and stagnant productivity growth, according to Procore. Project teams manage massive volumes of information scattered across specifications, drawings, RFIs, and documentation-work that slows decision-making and project execution.
