Assist Availability

Procore Assist is available to North American customers with the required toolset. They can enable additional beta features as they become available. International customers with the required toolset can enable one or both beta experiences: Assist in Global Search or additional beta features. Assist currently only answers questions in English with U.S. construction terminology. See Enable Assist to activate Assist or its beta features.

Objective

To use Procore Assist to find information about your project in Procore.

Background

Assist is Procore's AI-driven assistant. Assist can respond to questions asked in a conversational style, like the kind of question you might ask a coworker.

It can find answers to your questions based on information from select tools, as well as certain types of files attached to those items. It can also answer questions about how to do something in Procore, based on information from Procore's support site.

See What can I ask Assist? to learn which tools Assist can answer questions about, and what kinds of questions you can ask about each tool.

Things to Consider

 Caution
Like all AI tools, Assist's answers might not be entirely accurate. You must evaluate any recommendations or suggestions against your own reasonable policies and procedures before taking action. We recommend human review of any AI-generated outputs.
  • Required User Permissions:
    • 'Standard' level permissions to Assist on the project. 
      Note: 'Read Only' and 'Admin' permissions are not available for Assist at this time.
    • You can only see results about items that you have permission to view. For example, if you do not have the necessary user permissions to view an RFI, you won't receive information about that RFI from Assist.
  • Additional Information:
    • Assist can only provide information about items in Procore to which you have access based on your individual user permissions.
    • Assist is available through the Project level search experience. It is not available at the Company level at this time.
    • Assist must be enabled on the project in order to use it. See Enable Assist.
    • For the best results, keep your questions simple. Ask one question at a time.
    • Assist provides 'single-turn' question and answer functionality at this time. This means it will not take a previous question into consideration when asking a follow up question. Each question is treated as a unique encounter.
 Important
  • Assist can only read content from the following file types: .pdf
  • Assist does NOT read markups on drawings.
