Benetics launches digital voice assistant for the construction industry

Benetics has integrated a digital voice assistant into its digital application for the coordination of construction projects. The ChatGPT-based assistant can create construction reports, protocols and measurements via free voice input in more than 30 languages and dialects and transmit them to the office in real time, the Zurich-based proptech explains in a press release. According to her, the new function is now available in the Benetics app. There are no additional costs for existing subscriptions.

"Craftsmen want to build - and not waste time with paperwork," Ferdinand Metzler, CEO of Benetics AG, is quoted as saying in the press release. For them, documentation becomes a minor matter with the new voice assistant. The digital assistant also "significantly simplifies work for everyone involved in the project and enables companies to generate more revenue thanks to seamless documentation".

The Zurich-based proptech was founded in 2022 by Metzler together with Aaron Shon and Johan Tibell. Its app, which was launched in October 2023, is already being used by 50 construction companies in Europe, according to the press release. Benetics worked with 15 trade businesses from various sectors to develop the digital voice assistant that has now been integrated into the app. ce/hs
