Procore's New AI Agents Automate Construction Workflows — With Human Oversight

Construction projects are drowning in information — and Procore just deployed AI agents to help manage it.

Procore Technologies has announced an expanded AI platform that goes beyond basic chatbot functionality. The new agent-based system is embedded directly into the Procore construction management platform, powered by Datagrid intelligence, and built to take action — not just answer questions.

What makes this different from typical "AI assistants" is the action-trigger model at its core:

• Actions allow agents to perform steps inside Procore and connected systems — updating records, generating documents, and coordinating workflows
• Triggers enable agents to respond automatically to project events such as new submittals, RFIs, or change orders, based on user-defined rules

Key Takeaways

The platform launches with five specialized agents:

• Deep Search Agent — scans specs, drawings, and RFIs to compile references and flag conflicts
• Submittal Reviewer Agent — reviews submittals against project specs and flags discrepancies
• RFI Agent — checks RFI completeness, suggests edits, and attaches related documents
• Daily Log Agent — drafts daily logs from photos, emails, and voice notes
• Contract Review Agent — identifies conflicts across contracts, drawings, and specifications

Critically, all agent actions require human approval before completion — keeping decision-making with the project team while automating the administrative load.

Datagrid embedded in Procore is currently in private beta, with broader availability expected this summer as paid offerings. For construction firms managing complex, information-heavy projects, this represents a significant step toward operational AI that actually fits the job site.
