## What the story says

NOVO Construction, a general contractor, uses OpenSpace as its standard visual record of jobsites across active projects. It has built an AI agent on that imagery that assembles and drafts the weekly owner report from captured photos at pinned drawing locations.

Summary written by usedby from the source page, in English. The figures are those of OpenSpace and Novo Construction, not ours.

> Preparing the 10-to-15-page update meant gathering photos, organizing them, matching previous viewpoints, and formatting everything by hand—a process that could consume most of a workday.

- **100**: “Today, OpenSpace is used on every substantial project—more than 100 active jobs—and that consistent visual record has become the foundation for NOVO’s next step: AI agents that automate project work.”

> When I saw our first AI-generated report, it was pretty much exactly what I would have put together by hand—just without the hours it used to take.
