Procore expanded its artificial intelligence capabilities May 21, introducing a suite of AI agents powered by the built-in intelligence from recent acquisition Datagrid into its construction management platform.
Contractor customers now have access to agent AI that can execute jobs, coordinate construction workflows, and take actions across entire projects.
Datagrid’s popular agent generator feature has been integrated into the Procore platform, and there are now five pre-built agents to help construction professionals working on projects.
A deep search agent retrieves specifications, drawings, and RFIs from Procore, then consolidates references, highlights conflicts, and links back to the exact source files.
A submittal review agent compares submittals to project specifications, generates review summaries, and flags discrepancies directly within the submission log. The RFI Agent checks that requests for information are complete and clear, and can suggest changes and attach relevant documents to help reduce back-and-forth cycles.
The journaling agent aggregates photos, emails, and voice memos to compose journal entries within Procore for human review and finalization. And a contract review agent can spot risks early, acting as an AI co-reviewer that identifies contract conflicts, including language that could leave contractors open to liability, and adding resolution-oriented comments directly to contracts, drawings and specifications.
“If you think historically, Procore already had AI in building technology when ChatGPT 3 came out, they were already bringing the idea of making AI available to their foundation at that time,” Thiago Da Costa, SVP of AI and Data at Procore and CEO and co-founder of Datagrid, told ENR. “They already had some infrastructure that made it possible, and our technologies fit very well.”

Da Costa says that it was still a difficult task to integrate agents into the platform in the few months that have passed since the acquisition.
“I’ve never seen this happen at this speed,” he says. “I’ve been part of multiple acquisitions. Technologies typically take a year to integrate, and now we have it in hand with customers.”
