What it doesSMS-based AI safety agents for PTPs, toolbox talks, orientations, permits, attendance and inspections, with no app or login for workers. Records land in Procore or Autodesk Construction Cloud. Vendor lists 12+ agents. Re-checked Oct 19, 2026: the site now lists two products: Safety Agents for GCs (live; SMS link opens a browser chat, records sync to Procore or Autodesk, optional Smart Access Controller hardware for gate access and headcount) and a Safety Agent for Subcontractors (one morning text for sub foremen, launch listed for Dec 2026). The homepage announces a Configuration Assistant from Oct 20 that proposes an agent setup for approval. Its FAQ says the Pre-Task Plan agent works in English, Spanish and Portuguese, and work logs in English and Spanish with translation back to English. Re-checked Oct 20, 2026: the Configuration Assistant is now live; the FAQ calls it the home screen of every project (describe what you need and it proposes the setup for you to approve, no setup call needed). Language support, the free trial and the Dec 2026 subcontractor launch are unchanged. Re-checked Oct 22, 2026: homepage and pricing page unchanged in substance (Safety Agents for GCs live; Safety Agent for Subcontractors still listed as launching Dec 2026; Configuration Assistant as the home screen of every project; Pre-Task Plan agent in English, Spanish and Portuguese, work logs in English and Spanish). Customer names on the pricing page were not used as endorsements. Re-checked Oct 24, 2026 (rendered in a headless browser): homepage unchanged in substance (Safety Agents for GCs with optional Smart Access Controller hardware; a Safety Agent for Subcontractors listed as launching December 2026; the Configuration Assistant for setting up agents by chat; an SMS scan-to-try demo). Homepage counters and customer names are not used.Construction safety, compliance and risk management platform with a worker app in 14 languages, for general and trade contractors. Re-read Oct 18, 2026: the iOS and Android app covers incident reports, site attendance, worker orientation, JHAs with signatures, an SDS library and safety audits, and workers control their own profiles; field data rolls into timestamped daily reports, each active project carries a compliance score, and reports include observation scoring, incident logs and an executive summary. It also lists access control and contractor management, time and attendance, digital forms, inspections and turnstile integration, says it is integrated with Procore (listed in the Procore Technology Marketplace) and feeds Power BI. The pricing page names AI job hazard analysis among features a team can add, and the homepage describes smart automation that drafts logs and flags risks while people make every call; no page we could read describes the AI, so we keep the Not AI-first tag. Vendor cites 130,000 registered workers and TRIR reductions up to 45% (vendor claims). Re-read Oct 19, 2026: unchanged in substance; the homepage adds that some customers cut DART rates by as much as half (vendor claim, not verified). Re-read Oct 20, 2026: unchanged in substance (worker app in 14 languages, Procore and Power BI listed). Re-checked Oct 22, 2026: homepage unchanged in substance (worker app in 14 languages on iOS and Android; daily reports, observation scoring, incident logs and an executive summary; a compliance score for each active project). A new AI Profile page linked from the footer (rendered in a headless browser) lists AI-driven job hazard analysis and automated pre-task planning among platform features and points to skillsignal.ai, which showed only a headline (create job hazard analyses and pre-task plans in seconds). We keep the Not AI-first tag until we can read how the AI works; the TRIR, DART, hours-saved and liability figures on these pages are vendor claims and are not used. Re-checked Oct 24, 2026: homepage unchanged in substance (iOS and Android worker app in 14 languages, timestamped daily reports with observation scoring, incident logs and an executive summary, a compliance score for each active project, Procore Technology Marketplace listing and Power BI feed); the footer still links the AI Profile page, and the Not AI-first tag stays. Re-read Oct 26, 2026 for a compare: homepage and pricing page unchanged in substance (iOS and Android worker app in 14 languages; incident reports, site attendance, worker orientation, JHAs with signatures, SDS library and safety audits; timestamped daily reports, observation scoring, incident logs and an executive summary; a compliance score per active project; Procore Technology Marketplace listing and Power BI feed). The Not AI-first tag stays; worker counts, TRIR and DART figures and customer quotes are vendor content and not used.

Where the vendor descriptions differ

  • What each sells (vendor wording): Nyfty.ai sells Safety Agents for GCs, a suite of SMS-based AI bots, and lists a Safety Agent for Subs (one daily text for sub foremen covering PTPs, talks and forms) for Dec 2026. SkillSignal calls itself an all-in-one construction safety, compliance and risk management platform for general and trade contractors.
  • How workers use it: Nyfty says workers need no app and no login; everything runs by text message. SkillSignal's worker app runs on iOS and Android in 14 languages, and workers control their own profiles.
  • Scope: Nyfty's plans list enrolment and attendance, orientation, manpower, JHA-PTP, site permits, toolbox talks, worker certifications, forms and inspections, hazard and near-miss and T&M capture bots. SkillSignal's menus list worker orientations, multilingual worker profiles, certification management, access control, time and attendance, digital documentation and e-signatures, a daily workforce report, site observations, inspections, incident reporting, an SDS library and reports and analytics.
  • AI: Nyfty is AI-first, and its homepage now leads with setting up agents by chat. SkillSignal's pricing page names AI job hazard analysis among features a team can add; the pages we read do not otherwise describe its AI.
  • Where records go: Nyfty says every record lands in Procore or Autodesk Construction Cloud. SkillSignal keeps records in its own platform, with daily reports, project compliance scores and an executive summary, and lists Procore and Power BI integrations.
  • Pricing (checked Oct 26, 2026): Nyfty bills by the foremen and workers who interact by SMS each day, with 300 free SMS messages a month; billed annually, Just Manpower and Just Orientations run US$92, US$138 and US$276 a month and the all-workflow plans US$155, US$363 and US$635 a month. SkillSignal starts at $325 per month, billed annually; beyond that it quotes on active jobsites (GCs) or users, admins and supervisors (trade contractors) and features chosen, with no feature reserved for a premium tier.
  • Not used here: SkillSignal's registered-worker count, hours-saved, TRIR, DART and liability figures and customer quotes, and Nyfty's agent counters and customer names (vendor content).

  • Whether your crews will answer texts or use an app, and which languages your foremen need
  • Whether you need access control, turnstiles and certification tracking as well as daily safety forms
  • What either costs at your crew sizes and number of jobsites
  • 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?
