Glodon Unveils AecGPT and AI Platform for Construction Industry at China Digital Building Summit 2024

Glodon, a leading digital building platform service provider, launched its groundbreaking AI large model AecGPT and a comprehensive AI platform for the construction industry at the China Digital Building Summit 2024. This release marks a pivotal moment in the construction industry's digital transformation, leveraging AI to enhance efficiency and innovation. 

AecGPT and AI Platform for the Construction Industry 

The core capabilities of AI in the construction industry are the abilities  to automate repetitive tasks, derive insights from data, and generate professional content. 

Glodon’s extensive experience and data, accumulated from its superior graphics engine, comprehensive knowledge graph, diverse software, and abundant application scenarios, put it in a better position to develop an AI model for the construction industry. 

The newly introduced AecGPT operates on Glodon’s AI platform for the construction industry, a one-stop AI-native application development platform that comprises three layers: the AI large model for the construction industry layer, the tool platform layer, and the product application layer. It facilitates the AI-powered upgrade of software and applications, creating a "super brain" for the construction sector. 

All in AI 

Yuan Zhenggang, President of Glodon, highlighted that the AecGPT is designed for industry-level applications, covering seven key areas: planning, design, transaction, cost management, construction, operation, and comprehensive management, and 20 specialized knowledge fields.

Based on the capabilities of open-source models, it boasts industry-specific expertise from hundreds of thousands of high-quality industry data and professional capabilities for automation, analysis, decision-making support, and content generation assistance. 

It boasts 32 billion parameters and industry knowledge enhanced by hundreds of millions of tokens. In China’s National Constructor Examination, the AecGPT achieved an average score rate of 97%. 

Yuan also emphasized the company's commitment to fully integrate AI into the entire lifecycle of construction projects, going “All in AI”. Some of the AI-native applications include: 

AI Intelligent Design: The Concetto platform enhances design efficiency and innovation by leveraging intelligent generation and digital decision support. 

AI Quantity Takeoff: Streamlines the calculation process for a 10-billion-yuan project from 3 months to an astonishing 2 weeks. 

AI Progress: Achieves a 5 times improvement in efficiency through AI-powered task analysis and generation, and a 10 times efficiency gain through dynamic planning optimization. 

AI Material Management: Provides precise control over material costs. 

AI Transaction: Helps to make the entire process of bidding and evaluation intelligent. 

AI Safety: Ensures effective closed-loop safety management. 

AI Education: A typical application, Tian Tian Xiang Shang, supports the professional growth of project managers. 

A Long-Term Commitment to AI Innovation 

Glodon's AI journey began in 2015 by establishing a dedicated AI R&D team. The company significantly ramped up its efforts in 2023 with the "All in AI" strategy, focusing on generative AI for construction. 

The release of the AecGPT and the AI platform is expected to drive further digitalization within the construction industry.
