## Resource

Jeevan Kalanithi, CEO of OpenSpace, explores what AI agents look like when they are designed for the realities of construction. Jeevan explains how OpenSpace turns jobsite imagery from 360 cameras, drones, phones, and scans into an organized visual record of what is actually happening in the field. We discuss why construction agents need “eyes,” not just access to contracts and documents, and how visual data can support practical tasks such as owner reports, safety assessments, and progress tracking. Jeevan also previews OpenSpace’s agentic framework and its move beyond chat toward more spatial, visual ways of working. Most importantly, we examine why contractors should focus less on AI for its own sake and more on reducing administrative burden, helping field teams solve problems faster, improving capacity, and bringing some of the humanity back to construction across increasingly complex projects.
