Planera Inc tested AI assistant Manny on a complex infrastructure project by uploading detailed project drawings and asking it to help make sense of the work ahead.

A great project schedule is critical to construction project profitability. 70% of projects are over budget, primarily due to poor schedule planning. CPM Scheduling is hard, and tools have not evolved in decades, as many construction professionals are still using a 100-year-old concept like a Gantt chart. Planera is a collaborative online whiteboard CPM software that is super simple yet very powerful. Using Planera, users create resource and equipment loaded schedules in hours instead of weeks. People with knowledge of the project can build sophisticated schedules themselves without the need for a scheduling expert or consultant, saving time and money, and reducing frustration.
