AI scheduling co-pilot for construction project managers
Karmen connects to a construction project manager's email/text inbox and PM software (e.g. Procore) to automatically extract and route invoice, RFI, and change-order correspondence, and to build and update logic-linked construction schedules from project documents.
Why This Tool Exists
Construction project managers spend hours each day reading through hundreds of emails and texts from subcontractors, owners, and vendors, then manually re-keying invoice line items, RFI responses, and change-order details into Procore or other project management software. Building and keeping a logic-linked master schedule current with real project changes is similarly manual and time-consuming, so schedule updates lag behind what is actually happening on site.
Karmen links to a project manager's email/text inbox and connected PM software to extract structured data (invoice amounts, RFI responses, change-order terms) from correspondence and match it to the correct project and subcontractor. It also builds logic-linked construction schedules from project documents and, per BuiltWorlds' description, can "auto-propose" schedule updates and draft time-impact narratives as change events occur, and review contracts for non-standard language.
