It's basically this combination of a very model-led approach that allows you to use these agents to write code, which is what they know how to do.

Put on Rails.

Making sure that you design the system to actually be fully autonomous and to not be human in the loop.

I think for us, at least, it feels like it's driven a very different architecture.

Yeah, excited to be here.

Thank you.

Yeah, I think it's probably helpful to level set on what a construction project looks like.

And it starts with a developer who's got an empty lot of land and they want to make some sort of big project there.

And then there is, depending on how big the project is, if you're going to build a power plant or a hospital or some large facility, you're going to spend almost a year, sometimes a year and a half just doing design for that.

And there's hundreds of engineers that touch this.

There's lots of different project managers that touch this.

And it's this orchestration of everything.

mechanical and process engineers and electrical engineers and civil and structural folks all kind of working together to do the pre-construction package which is effectively like a giant set of instructions that you can then hand to a general contractor or some builder who will order the things on there and actually construct the facility that first part that's like line of sight today of how we automate end-to-end typically we call that final output an ifc package and issued for construction package

Where you will literally feed in a site, a bunch of different requirements about what you're trying to build and anything you want to stipulate about how it gets built.

And AI is going to explore tens of thousands of different permutations about how to optimally design that facility.

A button click.

And then what you get back from that is a globally optimized IFC package issued for construction.

It depends what the optimization function is.

And so the easiest way to think about that might be like CapEx, like how much does this thing cost?

But a much, much better way to think about that is like a total cost of ownership of the project.
