Artificial Intelligence designed for Question-and-Answer (Q&A) searches is intended to analyse documents and data portrayals, specifications, RFIs, and submittals, pulling relevant information for you without requiring you to search manually or even know where to look.
Q&A AI will differentiate itself from an ordinary keyword search tool. A keyword search returns documents containing a matched term, leaving the user to read through results and assemble an answer themselves. Q&A AI aims to actually answer the question directly, ideally citing the specific source it drew from, which matters enormously in construction where a wrong or unsupported answer, acted on without verification, can carry real cost consequences.
iFieldSmart positions Q&A AI as part of its Project Intelligence capability, letting users ask specific questions against project documents and get direct, sourced answers rather than a list of documents that might contain the answer somewhere within them.
