## Key Points - DroneDeploy doubling down on construction, specifically progress tracking - Looking at competitors and validating that detailed progress tracking is what customers actually want - Rebuilding a GC solution: walk/take pictures, update room progress in stages based on schedule (e.g., "drywall is done") - High-end robotics only target largest jobs (hospitals, data centers) — those already have BIM models - Annual planning for 2026 underway ## Pain Points Mentioned - Progress tracking setup takes multiple weeks — they can get a superintendent on the phone once, but getting them to come back weeks later often loses the sale - If room extraction could happen on the spot in a couple minutes (even if not 100% accurate), it would help conversion dramatically - Tried ChatGPT for room extraction — got bad results ## Product Feedback - Need: rooms extracted from 2D drawings — geometry of room, room name/type, associated trades (from schedule) - Would want an API where drawings go in and room geometries/types come out reliably - Also wants schedule connection - Chat #2 (in person): thinks Gemini can do it (showed example of room coloring), but admits he doesn't know if it works every time - Excited to stay in touch and experiment with what gets built
