Scottsdale, AZ – InEight, a global leader in construction project management software, today revealed its long-term vision for advances in artificial intelligence that will redefine how capital projects are planned, managed, and delivered. Building on the AI already embedded in InEight’s solutions today, this broader InEight Intelligence initiative will transform construction project controls software not by replacing human expertise, but by amplifying it—helping owners, contractors, and engineers significantly increase construction project delivery capacity.
“AI is only meaningful when it’s practical, trustworthy, and embedded in the way work already happens,” said Brad Barth, Chief Product Officer at InEight. “We’re not building AI to decide for you—we’re building AI to give you the right information at the right time, so you can make the best decisions for your project. We’re realizing a vision where everything that goes into a project – data, actions, re-actions – becomes intelligence that AI can harness for future projects. That’s how we’ll help our customers do more with less.”
InEight’s AI Offering Is Grounded in Real-World Experience
InEight Intelligence is an extension of the InEight connected platform — elevated by AI that self-learns from your normalized project data. It leverages decades of project controls best practices encoded into the system to deliver consistent, repeatable processes and the highest quality data to inform the intelligence layer. That means customers remain in full control of the decisions and the application of their expert knowledge.
“With over $1 trillion in projects already managed on InEight, our customers have built a uniquely rich foundation of connected data,” said Jake Macholtz, CEO of InEight. “InEight Intelligence takes that data to the next level — helping teams scale faster, deliver with more confidence, and ultimately make huge leaps in productivity.”
InEight Intelligence Encompasses Automation, Speed, and Interactive Insights
The next phase of InEight’s AI roadmap focuses on automating time-consuming tasks and surfacing context-rich insights that allow teams to stay ahead of risk and complexity. Early applications include:
- Conversational project intelligence: AI-enabled natural language interactive search across project documentation to instantly answer complex questions.
- Workflow acceleration: AI agents that anticipate and streamline cross-stakeholder processes, including RFIs and submittals.
- Proactive issue management: Reduce risk and shorten review and approval timelines by anticipating actions with relevant notifications, such as by automatically identifying issues from uploaded jobsite photos.
Future phases will expand to predictive estimating, guided scheduling, and intelligent work planning that proactively incorporates risk, dependencies, and safety considerations.
Intelligent Advice to Empower Human Decision-Making
A key differentiator of InEight’s approach is its Advisor model, which supports and guides informed, contextual human decision-making. InEight Advisor will enable planners and project teams to make decisions with 100% awareness of the issues, risks, and potential outcomes, in a fraction of the time it takes today.
This “guided planning” model ensures that project leaders retain control and deploy their expertise to best effect, while benefiting from AI’s ability to analyze vast datasets and automate routine tasks.
A Future of Smarter, Safer, and Faster Capital Construction Projects
“Capital projects are only getting more complex, and the industry is under constant pressure to deliver more work with fewer resources,” said Jake Macholtz, CEO at InEight. “Our vision for AI will deliver greater productivity, but it doesn’t stop there. It’s about creating the industry’s first learning system for project controls. By capturing and compounding intelligence across estimating, scheduling, document control, work planning, safety, and more, we are helping our customers build institutional knowledge that enables them to scale at a vastly accelerated pace.”
