Procore has added agentic AI to its platform to tackle deep searches, submittals, RFIs, daily logs and contract reviews.

Built on data from more than three million projects over 23 years, Procore AI “brings construction-specific context that horizontal AI tools cannot replicate”, according to the developer. 

Unlike traditional chatbots that only answer questions, Procore’s agentic AI combines an intelligence layer from Datagrid (which Procore acquired earlier this year) with two new foundational capabilities:

• actions, which enable agents to execute live steps inside Procore and connected systems, such as updating records, generating documents and coordinating workflows; and
• triggers, which enable agents to automatically respond to events in Procore – such as new submittals, RFIs or change orders – based on project context and customer-defined rules.

“Most AI tools in construction today behave like chatbots on top of disconnected data,” said Thiago da Costa, senior vice-president of AI and data at Procore. “Our approach is different. These systems are designed to understand what’s happening in Procore, decide what needs to be done, and take action directly within the platform. With Datagrid embedded into Procore, teams no longer need to rely on separate third-party AI tools to get answers or move work forward on their projects.”

Every response from the AI agents includes citations back to source specs and project records. The agents require human consent before actions are finalised, ensuring that while AI accelerates execution, project teams retain control, accountability and final decision-making. Some examples of agents include:

• the Deep Search Agent searches across specifications, drawings and RFIs from within Procore. It consolidates relevant references, highlights conflicts, and links back to exact source files;
• the Submittal Reviewer Agent reviews new submittals against project specifications, generating review summaries and flagging discrepancies directly within the submittal record;
• the RFI Agent checks RFIs for completeness and clarity. It suggests edits and attaches relevant documents to help reduce back-and-forth cycles;
• the Daily Log Agent aggregates photos, emails and voice notes to draft daily logs inside Procore for human review and finalisation; and
• the Contract Review Agent helps spot risks early by acting as an AI co-reviewer that identifies contract conflicts and adds resolution-oriented comments directly within your contracts, drawings and specs.
