Procore now has five AI agents built in — what they do and what still needs a human
Procore's Datagrid integration moves to broader beta this summer with agents for submittals, RFIs, daily logs, and contract review. Here's what each one actually does — and the data question every Procore shop should answer first.
Your submittal coordinator opens Procore, pulls up the spec section, finds the matching product data sheet, checks for compliance, writes a response, and moves to the next one. On a busy commercial job, that cycle runs 30 or 40 times a week — split across mechanical, electrical, and architectural submittals. Procore is about to have an agent do the first pass.
Following its acquisition of Datagrid in January, Procore spent the spring embedding five AI agents directly into its platform. At a virtual Innovation Summit on June 17, the company showed contractors what that looks like in practice. The integration is currently in private beta; Procore has said broader access is coming this summer as a paid offering.
Here's what each agent does.
The five agents
Deep Search Agent searches specs, drawings, and RFIs inside Procore simultaneously. It compiles references, flags conflicts between documents, and links back to exact source files. The project engineer who currently spends two hours cross-referencing a wall assembly against Div 07 specs gets that search condensed — the agent surfaces the conflict; the engineer decides what it means.
Submittal Reviewer Agent reviews new submittals against project specifications and generates a review summary inside the submittal record. It flags discrepancies but does not approve or reject. The responsible engineer still makes the call; the agent reduces the reading time before making it.
RFI Agent checks incoming RFIs for completeness and clarity, suggests edits, and attaches relevant documents before the RFI moves forward. This doesn't shrink RFI volume, but it cuts the "returning this for more information" cycles by catching gaps before the question goes out.
Daily Log Agent pulls from photos, emails, and voice notes already in Procore and drafts a daily log for superintendent review. The super confirms the draft against what actually happened on site. This works best when field staff are logging inputs during the day — photos, notes — rather than reconstructing from memory at 5 PM.
Contract Review Agent reviews contracts, drawings, and specs to flag potential conflicts and annotates them inside Procore for follow-up. This overlaps with what standalone contract-review tools already do, but embedded natively in the platform — which matters for teams that live inside Procore all day.
What's actually available
None of these agents are live for general customers yet. Private beta means a limited group of firms is piloting them now, and Procore hasn't published pricing for the paid tier. If you want early access, that conversation starts with your Procore account team.
The agents don't sign off on anything. That distinction matters more than it sounds. The Submittal Reviewer flags discrepancies — your PE still decides whether a flagged item is a genuine spec conflict or an interpretation call the spec writer left ambiguous. The Daily Log Agent drafts from platform inputs — your super still owns the record. The RFI Agent suggests edits — your PM reviews before sending. Automating the scan is real; automating the judgment isn't.
The question worth asking before you sign up
Procore's move to build its own agent suite has context. In fall 2025, the company pulled Trunk Tools — an AI agent layer used by Gilbane Building Co. and Suffolk Construction — from API access, citing data integrity. Procore's terms now restrict marketplace partners from bulk-downloading customer data for AI training. The company then acquired Datagrid to fill the gap with its own product.
This sequence raises a question worth asking directly: what do those same terms say about how Procore uses your project data — submittals, RFIs, daily logs — to improve its own agents? Ask your account team. Read the paid-tier addendum before signing. The answer may be perfectly acceptable, but you should have it before you're locked in.

Two things to do now
If submittals or RFIs are a real time drain in your Procore environment:
- Request beta access. The queue is real. Firms piloting now build a workflow before the paid tier drops — and have more leverage on pricing when it does.
- Pull your data agreement. Before you unlock AI features in a platform you're already feeding project data into, know what the terms say about training and data use.
The agents are worth watching. The data question is more urgent than the feature list.
Forward this to the person on your team who's still arguing AI is overhyped.
