What it doesAI layer and agents inside the Procore construction management platform. Vendor says agents execute workflows in Procore through over 150 built-in actions that create or update records such as RFIs, change events, daily logs, and action plans; agents can be triggered by project events or run on a recurring schedule; answers carry numbered citations to source files; permissions follow existing Procore roles; and agents never take action without sign-off. Procore describes a proprietary reasoning model, Magpie, trained on industry data, and says customer data is never used to train models like ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini. Starter Pack agents listed: Deep Search, RFI (drafts RFIs from project context), Submittal Review (cross-checks submittals against the spec book), Daily Log, and Contract Review (flags scope gaps or risk). Plans page lists large language models from Anthropic and Google on Starter, and Anthropic, Google, and OpenAI on Pro and Enterprise. Customer figures on its AI page (e.g. Haskell cutting submittal review cycles from one week to 10 minutes) are vendor claims, not verified.AI assistant built into Autodesk Forma; Autodesk says Autodesk Construction Cloud is now part of Forma. Autodesk describes it as a project-level agent that searches specifications, RFIs, issues, submittals, meetings, change orders, and schedules in natural language, drafts emails, summaries, reports, and dashboards, and keeps a reusable prompt library; its blog (updated June 3, 2026) says the Assistant for construction workflows is out of beta. In the Build RFIs tool, an RFI AI Agent (enabled per project) searches the project's specifications and closed RFIs as a question is typed and returns a verdict (No RFI needed, RFI recommended, or Couldn't determine), and AI can pre-fill RFI fields (title, question, category, discipline, cost and schedule impact, priority, location details) from a prompt for the user to review. Autodesk's help page says the Assistant uses pretrained third-party models and does not share customer data with those providers, sets query limits of 100 per project member per 24 hours and 500 per project per 24 hours, and says responses may not be complete or accurate. Autodesk says Forma has more than 15 AI-powered capabilities (vendor claim).
