Kantero — Construction Management with AI
Construction management platform with an AI agent on WhatsApp, bringing job-site updates and project tracking into one place.
About the project
On a construction site, information lives scattered across message groups, spreadsheets, and phone calls. Field teams don't have time for complex software, so project status always arrives late — and decisions get made on outdated data.
Kantero approaches the problem from the channel the job site already uses: WhatsApp, with an AI agent as the bridge between the field and management.
What it does
Field teams report progress, log issues, and ask questions by simply messaging the AI agent on WhatsApp — no forms, no new app to learn. The agent interprets each message and turns it into structured project data.
Managers get the other side of the bridge: an up-to-date view of every project on the platform, and the ability to ask the agent for the status of any site and get an answer grounded in what the field actually reported.
How it was built
An AI agent built in Python sits on top of the WhatsApp API, using an LLM to interpret free-form field messages and convert them into structured records — progress updates, issues, and requests — persisted in the platform's database.
The management platform consumes that same data to power dashboards and reports, and the agent answers managers' questions by querying it, keeping a single source of truth between the job site and the office.
