CONXAI vs Datagrid

Two AI-first tools that put agents on unstructured construction project data. CONXAI sells modular "Service-as-Software" use cases (DocNostic for documents, SiteLens for jobsite photos and video) delivered through dashboards or APIs; Datagrid, which its footer calls a Procore company, offers 18 pre-built agents across connected systems such as Procore and Primavera, with self-serve plans. Desk research from vendor sites read Nov 3, 2026; no winner.

What it doesAI "Service-as-Software" that automates knowledge-intensive construction workflows over unstructured project data: photos, videos, documents and CAD. It uses agentic AI (the platform page describes a hierarchical multi-agent system, delivered through dashboards or APIs) to extract cost and risk insights and automate reporting and document processing, with a modular model: start with one use case and expand. Named solutions: DocNostic extracts information from unstructured documents using a construction ontology, reasons across spec sheets, drawings, RFPs and submittals, and adapts to new document types without code; SiteLens analyzes jobsite photos and video into reports on site conditions, labour, equipment and activities, Lean metrics such as line of balance, and searchable media, with worker identities masked. The site states ISO 27001, SOC 2 Type II and GDPR (vendor statements), and its case studies page names Hensel Phelps, Kajima and Hilti. The DocNostic page's three feature tiles repeat SiteLens copy under document-extraction headings, which looks like a page template error. The DocNostic decision-time headline figure is a vendor claim and is not used.AI agents that connect systems, interpret project files and complete workflows such as submittals, RFIs and spec review; voice lookup answers questions out loud from Procore, Primavera and other connected systems. The site footer reads "Datagrid, a Procore company"; Groundbreak speaker pages list it as "Datagrid AI from Procore". The agents page lists 18 pre-built agents, including Deep Search, Fast Search, Submittal Review, Document Comparison, Submittal-Builder, Summary Spec Submittal, Scope Checker, RFI, Daily Log (raw field notes mapped to Procore daily log types), Change Order, Change Analysis, Audit, Contract Review, Pre-Qualification, Site Safety, SOP, Mentor and a Single Line Drawings Expert Agent (extracting and structuring electrical system data from single-line drawings into validated tables). The homepage says customer data is never used for model training and lists SOC 2 (vendor statements). Output multiples, percentages and customer quotes are vendor claims and are not used.

Pricing (as publicly stated)No public prices: the vendor site has no pricing or plans link, /pricing and /plans return a not-found page, and the calls to action are Book a Demo, Contact us and Get Started. The homepage describes a modular model (start with one use case and expand) with a low cost of entry that fits into your budget, without figures. Confirm current pricing with the vendor.Vendor-listed pricing: Free $0/month; Pro $90/month with 1,000 credits; Enterprise custom pricing with premium credits via sales. All three plans list unlimited users.

Where the vendor descriptions differ

  • How each is delivered: CONXAI describes a hierarchical multi-agent system delivered through dashboards or APIs, sold on a modular model where you start with one use case and expand. Datagrid lists pre-built agents (among them Deep Search, Submittal Review, Document Comparison, Scope Checker, RFI, Daily Log, Change Order, Contract Review and Site Safety) that connect to your systems and complete workflows, plus voice lookup that answers questions out loud from Procore, Primavera and other connected systems.
  • Documents: CONXAI's DocNostic extracts information from unstructured documents using a construction ontology, reasons across spec sheets, drawings, RFPs and submittals, and adapts to new document types without code. Datagrid's agents cover submittals, RFIs, spec review and contracts, and its Single Line Drawings Expert Agent extracts electrical system data from single-line drawings into validated tables.
  • Jobsite media: CONXAI's SiteLens turns jobsite photos and video into reports on site conditions, labour, equipment and activities, Lean metrics such as line of balance and searchable media, with worker identities masked. Datagrid's Enterprise plan lists video or audio processing up to 2 GB per file; the pages we read do not describe a site-progress product like SiteLens.
  • Security (vendor statements): CONXAI states ISO 27001, SOC 2 Type II and GDPR. Datagrid lists SOC 2 and says customer data is never used for model training.
  • Pricing (read Nov 3, 2026): CONXAI publishes no prices; /pricing returns a not-found page and the calls to action are Book a Demo, Contact us and Get Started. Datagrid lists Free at $0/month, Pro at $90/month with 1,000 credits and Enterprise by quote, all with unlimited users. See each tool page for detail.
  • Not used here: Datagrid's output multiples, percentages and customer quotes, and CONXAI's DocNostic decision-time figure (vendor claims). Facts for both tools come from vendor websites (desk research).

Paraphrased from the sources listed above. Vendor claims are reported as claims.

What users say

The facts above come from vendor websites. Whether either tool is any good for your work is something only people who use them can say. These are member reviews, all ratings shown, never edited or removed for being negative.

Good or bad, an honest review from an estimator, PM or super helps the next team more than another vendor demo. You post under a handle; your email is never shown.

Questions to ask in your review

  • How each handles your own specs, submittals and drawings, and how much of the output your team has to check
  • Whether you need a configured use case delivered by the vendor (CONXAI) or self-serve agents on top of Procore and your other systems (Datagrid)
  • What CONXAI costs, and how many Datagrid credits a typical month of your work uses
  • What did you use it for, on what kind of work and project size?
  • How long did setup and training take, and who on your team did it?
  • What does it cost you in practice, compared with what the sales call said?
