Chat lets you talk to CompanyCam Assistant by typing or talking — ask questions about your jobs, build Pages and Checklists, find photos, notify your crew, and more. It's available on every page in CompanyCam, so you can get things done without losing your place.
This feature is in Beta. Request to join the waitlist for access.
What you can do
When you open a new chat, you'll see 6 suggested prompts to help you get started:
Project Q&A — Ask questions about a Project and get answers from your actual photos, notes, tasks, and job history. No digging required.
Create a page — Draft a polished Project Page from your photos.
Capture to-dos — Create a punch list from today's photos and notes.
Notify team — Send instructions to new crew members. Notifications show up in their CompanyCam notification center. Push notifications depend on each recipient's notification settings.
Find photos — Search for photos across your Projects by keyword or tag.
Next steps — Get advice on what a Project needs next based on what's already in CompanyCam.
You're not limited to these — type or ask the Assistant anything related to your jobs, and it will do its best to help. If it can't do something, it will tell you. A few more things you can ask:
"Build me a progress report for the Johnson project."
"Tag today's photos on the Hendricks job by room."
"What's still open on the Riverside project?"
Note: Only Admins and Managers have access to the CompanyCam Assistant.
