About
Trunk Tools delivers a suite of AI agents specifically designed for construction professionals—superintendents, project managers, and field crews—who need fast, accurate information from complex project documentation. Its flagship product, TrunkText, allows teams to ask plain-language questions and receive verified answers sourced directly from specs, RFIs, submittals, drawings, schedules, contracts, meeting notes, and field reports in under 30 seconds. TrunkSubmittal automates the submittal review process, flagging discrepancies, missing information, and noncompliance with project specifications—handling 90% of submittals automatically and drafting follow-up action items. TrunkReview scans drawing revision bulletins to produce a visual overlay and written narrative of all changes, even those not clouded, in roughly 5 minutes per 20-sheet bulletin. The platform also offers an AI Contract Review agent. Trunk Tools syncs in real time with Procore, Autodesk, SharePoint, Box, Dropbox, and Egnyte, making adoption nearly plug-and-play. Customers report saving 25+ hours per week per project manager, reclaiming $375K–$750K in weekly time value, and avoiding over $100K in monthly rework costs across 500+ active jobsites representing more than $50 billion in construction volume.

Cons
- Construction-Specific Scope: The platform is narrowly focused on construction use cases and is not suited for general project management or industries outside AEC.
