The short version
- Procore’s AI agents, which it calls digital coworkers, went on general sale in the third quarter of 2026.
- They are priced on usage, not as an all-you-can-eat add-on, so you commit to a level of use.
- Start with the agent tied to your biggest review bottleneck, and set usage limits before you roll it out.
In January, Procore bought Datagrid, an AI company that connects to other business systems and automates work across them. By May, Datagrid’s agent builder was inside Procore along with five prebuilt agents. On its November 4 earnings call, Procore said those agents became generally available in the third quarter and confirmed how it charges for them.
The five agents
- Deep search: searches specs, drawings and RFIs, pulls the references together, highlights conflicts and links to the source file.
- Submittal review: compares submittals against the project specs, writes a review summary and flags discrepancies.
- RFI: checks RFIs for completeness and clarity, suggests edits and attaches the right documents.
- Daily log: gathers photos, emails and voice notes into a draft log for a person to review and finalize.
- Contract review: flags conflicting or risky contract language and adds comments for the team to resolve.
Procore’s one public example so far: contractor McCownGordon’s submittal agent caught 10 missing door openings before they reached the field.

How the pricing works
Procore’s management said plainly on the call that the company prices its agents on usage. Customers commit to a level of consumption, and a tool called Control Tower tracks use and sets limits. The agents sit in Procore’s higher package tiers, so getting them may also mean moving up a plan.
That’s a change from how most construction software has been sold. A per-seat or flat subscription is easy to budget. Usage pricing rewards teams that point agents at the right work and punishes teams that let them run on everything.
What it means for builders
If you already run Procore, the question isn’t whether these agents work. It’s which one pays for itself first. For most general contractors that’s submittal review or RFIs, because that’s where review cycles stall a job.
- Pick one agent and one project to start.
- Set a usage limit in Control Tower before anyone turns it on.
- Keep a person approving every output for the first month and track what the agent catches.
- Compare that against what your team would have spent on the same reviews.
Questions
Do I need to be on a certain Procore plan?
Procore says the AI capabilities sit in its higher package tiers. Check with your Procore rep on which plan includes the agents you want.
Do the agents approve anything on their own?
No. Procore positions them as reviewers that draft, flag and summarize. A person still approves the submittal, the RFI or the daily log.
