‍Forecasting risk:

Kwant's system allows for proactive decision-making to mitigate various risks by analyzing past project trends. This includes assessing the risk of worker injuries, project delays, and non-compliance penalties. Kwant plans to use a predictive analytic model to analyze project, company, and worker data.

Automation:

Daily reports are crucial in the construction industry for tracking progress, managing resources, and ensuring quality and safety in any project. These reports provide essential insights that help project managers make informed decisions, maintain control over operations, and address any issues promptly. 

However, the process of generating these reports can be time-consuming and prone to errors, especially when done manually. Kwant has revolutionized this aspect of project management through the use of Large Language Models (LLM). By automating the generation of daily reports, Kwant not only streamlines the workflow but also enhances the accuracy and efficiency of reporting. 

Here are some key features and benefits of this automation:

• ‍Automated Report Generation: Uses LLM models to generate comprehensive, up-to-date reports automatically.

Additionally, it delves deep into your risk insights and connects to all results available in the Kwant product. It then creates automated reports, providing a comprehensive and user-friendly tool for efficient project management.

Here are examples of how "Bob - the AI assistant" can help : 

• ‍Worker Locations During Incidents: In an incident, project managers can ask the chatbot for worker locations to improve response times and safety measures.
• ‍Worker Retentions: The chatbot can provide information about new workers who have joined the project. It helps managers keep track of personnel changes and integration processes.‍
