AI for Field Inspection Reports

Opusense AI automates field report writing for construction field inspectors. Instead of typing up notes at the end of the day, inspectors can now walk a site, speak observations aloud, snap photos, and let our AI assistant generate a detailed, organized report on-site and in real time. Combined, the founding team has over 15 years in the construction industry. Writing up these field reports used to take up at least 20% of the week. With Opusense, we cut that time by 5x. Our team combines deep construction experience with technical expertise, Roya has a PhD in civil engineering, and Michael has worked at multiple construction tech startups. Why hasn’t this been done before? Construction is slow to adopt new tech, and reporting is messy, photos, voice notes, and field notes all live in silos. Turning that into a clear, structured report requires real insight into how inspectors work and what clients need. Only now, with advances in AI, can we process unstructured data adequately to generate high-quality reports in real time. The opportunity is massive. Every inspection firm and contractor is struggling with documentation. Manual reports slow them down, create inconsistencies, and delay handoffs. We believe AI can do this better, and Opusense is proving it.

❌ The Problem

Most field teams still rely on writing notes by hand and typing them into Word templates hours or even days after leaving the site. It’s slow, error-prone, and easy to fall behind. For firms managing dozens of active sites, the reporting backlog is the most painful part of the job. No engineer enjoys writing the same reports over and over. It’s an overlooked market, but consultants are on every construction site, and inspections in the US alone make up a $30B industry.

🛠 The Backstory

Our CEO Roya has a PhD in Civil Engineering from the University of Waterloo and a MSc in Advanced Infrastructure Systems from Carnegie Mellon. She previously worked as a site inspector at engineering consulting firms, where the firsthand frustration of field reporting inspired Opusense. Our CTO Michael has a background in ECE from the University of Waterloo. He focused on building AI systems in the fields of robotics and self-driving cars and previously worked in startups in the construction industry, giving him insight into what users need in this field. We created Opusense because reporting was the worst part of the job, so we decided to get rid of it.
