Benetics introduces AI voice tool to cut site paperwork

ADVERTISEMENT

A German construction technology firm has launched an AI-powered voice assistant designed to help site teams cut paperwork and speed up reporting.

Benetics, based in Munich, says its new app allows workers to speak naturally while on site. The software then transcribes what’s said, organises the information, and turns it into structured reports with photos, checklists, and due dates.

The company claims the tool can reduce admin time by up to 80 per cent and integrates with other software already used in construction.

“Our mission is simple — to make life easier for people on site,” said Tobias Haendler, Benetics’ chief marketing officer. “Workers don’t want to write reports at the end of the day. Now, they can just talk, and the AI does the rest.”

The system, built on OpenAI technology, recognises voice input even in noisy environments and can translate task lists into more than 30 languages. Benetics says the multilingual feature was added following customer feedback during testing.

The app has already been rolled out in Switzerland, Austria, Germany, and the United States. Its UK debut took place at London Build, with several firms now trialling it on live projects.

Haendler added that the company continues to test other large language models, including Google Gemini, to benchmark accuracy and performance for construction-specific use cases.

Businesses can trial the app for free, with full access priced at £20 per user per month.
