Procore just launched an app where you ask your project questions out loud and it talks back with the answer. No walking to the trailer, no scrolling through 200 sheets.
What happened
Procore announced Procore AI Go on Oct. 21 at Groundbreak 2026, its user conference in Orlando. It's in open beta now.
The main points:
- It's a voice-first phone app. You ask a question and get a spoken answer pulled from your project's data in Procore.
- You can ask about drawings, specs, RFIs, submittals, daily logs, observations, and inspections.
- It uses push-to-talk, so jobsite noise and other people talking don't set it off.
- It keeps your conversation history on your phone, so you can pick up where you left off.
- Procore is also working with Meta on a version for AI glasses. You'd say "Hey Procore" to look something up or take a first-person photo without putting your tools down. That part is in closed beta.
- Coming later, per Procore: creating daily logs and observations, drafting RFIs, and translating, all by talking and taking pictures.
Procore's SVP of Product, Geoff Lewis, said crews "shouldn't have to walk back to the trailer" to find what they need.
At the same show, Procore also said its submittal agent can now update up to 500 submittals at once, according to ENR.
Why it matters to you
Think about how many times a day somebody walks up and asks you a question you have to go look up. What's the embed depth on that anchor. Did that RFI ever come back. Which submittal got approved.
As a lead or foreman, that's a big chunk of your day. A tool that answers from the actual project documents, in a few seconds, by voice, could give you a lot of that time back.
But here's the catch. An answer is only as good as what's in Procore. If the latest revision never got uploaded, or the RFI answer is sitting in somebody's email, the app can't know that. And a voice answer is easy to trust because it sounds sure of itself.
How to use it on the job
1. Use it to find, then look. Ask it where the answer is, then pull up the sheet or spec section yourself before you build to it. Anything you can't undo, check the source.
2. Ask for the reference. Get used to asking "what sheet is that on" or "which RFI says that." If it can't point you to a document, don't treat it as an answer.
3. Keep your docs current. The tool is only as sharp as the project data. Push to get revisions, RFI answers, and approved submittals into the system fast.
4. Follow your company's rules. If your company uses Procore, ask your PM whether AI Go is turned on for your job and how they want it used. Don't put project data into tools your company hasn't approved.
Not on Procore? You can still try the same habit with any AI tool your company allows:
I'm the crew lead. Here is the spec section / RFI / submittal text: [paste].
Answer this question in two sentences: [your question].
Then quote the exact line you based it on so I can check it.
If the answer isn't in the text, say so. Don't guess.
The bottom line
Asking the plans out loud is coming to the jobsite. Use it to find answers faster, and still look at the sheet before you build.
