Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

OpenSpace and the Visual Intelligence Revolution with Jeevan Kalanithi
Q: How does AI auto-location work and why is it important indoors?
AI auto-location uses the massive image dataset to pin 360 images to the floor plan and, with smartphones, provides real-time indoor location suggestions during field walks, saving time and improving accuracy for QA/QC and safety tasks.
OpenSpace and the Visual Intelligence Revolution with Jeevan Kalanithi
Q: What is the Visual Intelligence Platform and how does it differ from prior reality capture approaches?
The platform centers on image-first workflows, transforming field imagery into actionable data and integrating with PM software; it replaces document-first processes by letting users act on what they visually see on site, supported by AI to interpret images and automate workflows.
Construction’s Next Leap: AI as a Strategic Partner
Q: Since our last conversation, how have you observed the construction technology development, implementation and funding landscape evolve?
The guest notes that generative AI and large language models have become pivotal, leading to two scheduling agents for simulations and insights, with broad adoption and ongoing funding in startups leveraging LLMs. He emphasizes that AI can be used to upload schedules, identify delays, and converse about schedules in natural language to drive optimizations.
How Agentic AI is Transforming Procurement
Q: How long is the onboarding phase typically?
Onboarding can be quick to start—customers can turn it on and begin with basic tenders—while deeper integration and data enrichment (supplier master data, commodity codes, cost centers) may take a couple of weeks, followed by broader system integrations over a month to month and a half.
How Agentic AI is Transforming Procurement
Q: What is Globality actually? Is it a platform?
Globality is described as the embodiment of the agent, a platform that provides a consistent agent presence across the procurement journey, including intake, proposal analysis, and award, with possible subcontracting to other agents behind the scenes.
