OpenSpace, the Visual Intelligence Platform for builders, announced the general availability of OpenSpace Field, an image-based,  field-first solution for creating and managing tasks and issues that helps jobsite teams create, capture, document, and act on work items in real time.   OpenSpace Field expands OpenSpace from a system of visual record into a system of visual action – connecting reality captured in the field directly to the workflows that drive execution, without replacing existing project management platforms. Built for smartphones and powered by breakthrough Spatial AI, OpenSpace Field enables jobsite teams to create and manage punch list items, observations, and issues dramatically faster, with rich visual context and seamless, bi-directional integrations with Procore and Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC). “The field is the most underutilized source of data in construction, and it’s where projects are truly won or lost,” said Jeevan Kalanithi, co-founder and CEO of OpenSpace. “OpenSpace Field puts the intelligence of the jobsite at

Sage, the leader in accounting, financial, HR and payroll technology for small and mid-sized businesses, announced new AI-powered enhancements to Sage X3. The new capabilities give product-centric organizations clearer visibility across finance, sales, and supply chain operations, allowing teams to respond faster as conditions change. Mid-sized businesses are operating in a near-constant state of change. Ongoing supply chain disruption, new compliance demands, and tighter resources mean finance and sales teams are expected to respond faster than ever. At the same time, businesses are generating more data than they know what to do with, and too often that information doesn’t translate into timely action in the systems people use every day. According to McKinsey’s 2025 State of AI report, 88% of organizations now use AI in at least one part of their business. However, most are still at an early stage when it comes to using AI to actively support decision-making and day-to-day operations.

Zoo, a company that creates infrastructure for hardware design, announced the launch of Zookeeper, a conversational CAD design agent that helps engineers move from intent to fully editable CAD models through natural language interaction. With Zookeeper, users can describe what they want to design, ask questions, explore alternatives, and iterate on existing designs, all within Zoo Design Studio. Zookeeper lets engineers delegate tasks such as research, reasoning, and manufacturing-aware design decisions to an AI agent that designs based on their goals and descriptions. It conducts relevant research, proposes design constraints and parameters, and generates a clear design plan before producing a CAD model. The resulting model is fully editable using the same sketch and feature tree workflows engineers already rely on. Building on their Text-to-CAD experience, the team added research and reasoning capabilities and engine-level tools that allow the agent to inspect, snapshot, and debug geometry while generating production-ready CAD. “We built

Asite, a leading platform for information management in the built environment, is proud to announce the successful renewal of its ISO 19650 Framework Kitemark. This internationally recognized standard reaffirms Asite’s commitment to helping organizations meet ISO 19650 standards. Asite is one of just two SaaS organizations to have this accreditation in the UK. The BSI Kitemark™ for Building Information Modelling (BIM) software is an independent certification that demonstrates a software’s ability to manage information in line with the internationally recognized ISO 19650 standard. It assures that a BIM software solution has been independently assessed across key areas, including software functionality, security-minded processes, user support, development practices, and organizational resilience. Together, this demonstrates that both the technology and the processes supporting it meet rigorous, industry-defined standards. As digital collaboration has become standard practice, the industry’s challenge is evolving from information access to ensuring information quality. ISO 19650 plays a critical role in providing a

Qflow announces a £2 million strategic investment from Autodesk, Inc., marking a major step in its ambitious plan to link construction data back with design intent.  The investment builds on the existing product collaboration between Qflow and Autodesk Construction Cloud, with the shared goal of creating a powerful integrated solution that helps close the loop between design intent and construction reality.  By reconciling construction data on real-time material quality, quantity and supply-chain intelligence back into design data, Qflow strives to enable construction teams to identify and resolve material-related issues before they cause delays, rework, or budget overruns. With many project teams still relying on manual, fragmented processes to monitor site activity, material supply-chain issues are some of the most persistent sources of rework and cost overruns in construction. This move emphasises the growing demand for a solution that delivers accurate, real-time material and waste intelligence to reduce errors, cut emissions, and protect tight
