24 Jan 2025 CW Team

For professionals operating within the construction industry, the Smart Audio Bot enables instant voice-driven access to troubleshooting guides, maintenance protocols, and compliance requirements, cutting downtime on project sites. The Smart Video Bot introduces dynamic, role-specific visual guidance, with avatars designed to walk users through intricate processes such as equipment calibration, workflow optimization, or advanced technical training. By delivering step-by-step instructions in an intuitive, multimedia format, it helps bridge knowledge gaps and reduces dependency on external expertise. These bots also address a critical need for inclusivity in a multilingual workforce, currently supporting interactions in English and Hindi. This ensures that diverse user groups—from site operators to decision-makers—can navigate complex operations effortlessly, making the SmartBots powered by Concrete AI a more accessible, efficient, and productivity-driven solution.

Building upon the foundation of Concrete GPT by retaining key features like its integration with OpenAI’s GPT-4 and Perplexity Models, the platform’s vast repository of research materials and technical resources has been updated with the latest industry trends and regulatory guidelines. Beyond offering immediate technical support, the SmartBots powered by Concrete AI continues to serve as a hub for skill development and training, empowering professionals, students, and suppliers to optimize workflows, adopt sustainable practices, and make data-driven decisions for enhanced project outcomes.

Commenting on the launch, Shubhabrata Saha, Managing Director and CEO of AJAX Engineering, said, “The construction industry is evolving, and it is imperative to provide tools that simplify decision-making and improve productivity. The SmartBots powered by Concrete AI, offers a more intuitive way for professionals to access vital technical insights, streamline workflows, and enhance project outcomes. This platform reflects AJAX’s vision of empowering the industry with cutting-edge, AI-enabled solutions while fostering a culture of continuous learning and innovation.”

During the Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025, visitors experienced live demonstrations of the Smart Bots, which showcased real-time interactions and insights tailored to user needs. AJAX’s stall also featured interactive stations equipped with tools for exploring the platform’s functionalities. Apart from this, AJAX Engineering also showcased live demonstrations of their 3D Concrete Printing machine, an immersive VR experience of their SLCMs, and their Self Propelled Boom Pumps. They also announced the launch of their CEV 5-compliant machines, reinforcing their commitment to building sustainable, efficient, and technologically advanced solutions for the construction industry.

AJAX Engineering, India’s leading concreting equipment manufacturer, unveiled SmartBots powered by Concrete AI, an upgraded version of its AI-driven platform launched earlier in July 2024. Building on the capabilities of the earlier version, ConcreteAI introduces Smart Audio and Video Bots to address the industry’s growing demand for intuitive and role-specific guidance. The addition of the bots takes user interaction to the next level by offering highly contextual, real-time assistance tailored to the unique challenges of the construction industry.
