About Humance

Humance builds and integrates custom AI agents for construction teams, helping them review project documents, identify potential conflicts, and prepare next steps within the tools and workflows they already use. Construction projects generate a constant flow of drawings, specifications, submittals, RFIs, change orders, and emails. Reviewing that information and connecting it across a project takes time, while overlooked details can lead to delays, rework, and unexpected costs. Humance handles the first pass through this paperwork, surfacing relevant findings and linking them to supporting project information so teams can verify the evidence and act with confidence. Every implementation starts with understanding how a team works, its review processes, approval requirements, and existing systems. Humance then tailors and deploys AI agents around those needs, refining them through real-world use and feedback. Construction expertise remains central. AI prepares the review; people apply their judgment and make the decisions. By reducing routine document work, Humance gives teams more time to resolve issues and keep projects moving.
