New AI tool delivers accurate jobsite updates in minutes, saving time and reducing risk<\/h3>\n

DroneDeploy Introduces AI-Powered Construction Progress Tool<\/h4>\n

DroneDeploy has announced the launch of Progress AI<\/em>, an artificial intelligence tool that automates construction progress tracking from drone and 360-degree camera data. Designed to replace time-consuming manual updates, Progress AI generates fast and reliable progress reports at a fraction of the cost of traditional tools.<\/p>\n

\u201cProgress AI\u201d provides real-time visibility into jobsite conditions using visual intelligence, helping construction teams cut down on paperwork and make better decisions faster. \u201cWith Progress AI, all project stakeholders superintendents can get a complete view of progress across every floor, every trade, in minutes, not hours,\u201d said James Stripe Pipe, Chief Product Officer at DroneDeploy.<\/p>\n

From Walkthroughs to Insights in Minutes<\/h4>\n

Typical progress tracking relies on manual notes, hand-marked drawings, and occasional site photos. This process can miss key issues and slow down decisions. Progress AI changes this by using vision-language models trained on billions of square feet of real-world data.<\/p>\n

Users can upload images from drones or 360-degree cameras. Within minutes, Progress AI identifies what has been built, where, and by whom\u2014without requiring Building Information Modeling (BIM) or special setup.<\/p>\n

The platform delivers \u201c95% accurate progress reports,\u201d turning simple photo captures into usable data. This helps project teams reduce the time spent chasing updates and allows them to focus on the work itself.<\/p>\n

Ask Questions, Get Answers<\/h4>\n

One of Progress AI\u2019s standout features is its natural-language interface. Team members can ask questions by voice or text and receive instant answers.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe superintendent can simply ask, \u2018How much did our drywall partner get done this week?\u2019 \u2018Where are we behind on drywall this week?\u2019 and Progress AI will surface the facts directly from last night\u2019s site capture,\u201d Stripe Pipe explained.<\/p>\n

This removes the need to wait for weekly meetings or track down individual reports. Information is always available and up to date.<\/p>\n

Affordable, Scalable, and Easy to Use<\/h4>\n

Progress AI offers several advantages over older systems:<\/p>\n
