In plain English
CPM scheduling software for contractors with a built-in AI assistant, Manny. Ask plain-English questions like what a two-week concrete delay does to the critical path; Manny runs what-if scenarios and applies changes only after you approve (logged in the Change Log), builds activities from a prompt or a photo of a hand-marked schedule, flags schedule-health issues like missing predecessors or slipping float, and writes owner updates, look-aheads and delay narratives. It can't update progress, create resources or edit calendars.
