Procore expanded its artificial intelligence capabilities May 21, introducing a suite of AI agents powered by embedded intelligence from recent acquisition Datagrid into its construction management platform.
Contractor customers now have access to agentic AIs that can execute work, coordinate construction workflows, and take action across entire projects.
Datagrid’s popular agent builder feature has been integrated into Procore’s platform and five prebuilt agents are now there to assist construction professionals working on projects.
A deep search agent arches across specifications, drawings and RFIs from within Procore and then consolidates references, highlights conflicts, and links back to exact source files.
A submittal review agent compares submittals to project specifications, generating review summaries and flagging discrepancies directly within the submittal record. The RFI agent checks requests for information for completeness and clarity, and is able to suggest edits and attach 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 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 open contractors to liabilities and add resolution-oriented comments directly within contracts, drawings, and specifications.
“If you think historically, Procore already had AI in construction tech around when ChatGPT 3 came around, they were already kind of bringing in the idea of making AI available to their base a that time,” Thiago Da Costa, Procore’s senior vice president of AI and data and the CEO and co-founder of Datagrid, tells ENR. “They already had some infrastructure that made this possible, and our technologies fit together really well.”

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