Co-founded by Vinayak Nagpal and Michael Savaiano, it collected unstructured data around construction projects — emails, Word documents and Excel files traded between contractors and designers — and applied AI techniques to produce predictive checklists and automated design reviews, plus a Google-like search engine for subcontractors' questions about components and materials.
