What Can the AI Assistant Do?

The Buildero AI assistant is purpose-built for construction. Here's a detailed breakdown of everything it can help with.

Project Intelligence

Ask questions about any project in plain language:

  • Get a quick status summary including budget, hours logged, and open invoices
  • Find out which crew members are assigned and their recent activity
  • See a cost breakdown comparing estimated vs. actual spend
  • Identify projects that are behind schedule or over budget

Estimate Assistance

The AI can help you build estimates faster:

  • Draft line items — describe the job and the assistant suggests labor and material line items with typical quantities and costs
  • Scope writing — generate a professional scope of work from a brief description
  • Sanity checks — ask "does this estimate look reasonable for a 2,000 sq ft addition?" and get feedback

Invoice and Payment Help

  • Look up any invoice by client name, project, or amount
  • Get a summary of outstanding balances by client
  • Draft payment reminder emails that are firm but professional
  • Explain common payment terms and help you decide what to use

Reports and Summaries

  • Summarize labor costs for any project or date range
  • Compare profitability across multiple projects
  • Identify your highest-revenue clients
  • Generate a weekly or monthly activity summary

Writing and Communication

  • Draft emails to clients for any situation: delays, change orders, requests for payment, project updates
  • Translate any message or document between English and Spanish
  • Write professional SMS reminders for crew about schedule changes
  • Create internal notes or meeting summaries

Translation

The AI is fully bilingual in English and Spanish. You can ask it to:

  • Translate any document, email, or message
  • Communicate with Spanish-speaking crew or clients on your behalf
  • Explain a complex contract clause in simple terms in either language

Plan Availability

Core AI features are available on all plans. Advanced capabilities (extended conversation history, bulk report generation, AI-powered estimate drafting) require the Pro or Business plan.
