Billy is expanding artificial intelligence-powered automation for the construction industry. Today, the company announced its first AI Review Assistant for construction compliance.
The AI Review Assistant boosts efficiency for construction teams by automating the review of subcontractor insurance documents. It quickly summarizes certificates of insurance (COIs) and accompanying endorsements like CG 20 10, CG 20 37, and Primary & Non-Contributory forms.
Billy’s AI Review Assistant: Faster, Smarter Insurance Compliance
The AI Review Assistant boosts efficiency for construction teams by automating the review of subcontractor insurance documents. It quickly summarizes certificates of insurance (COIs) and accompanying endorsements like CG 20 10, CG 20 37, and Primary & Non-Contributory forms.
“What once took a project coordinator nine minutes now takes less than a minute,” said Eric Weatherwax from BBL Construction. “The AI helps review thousands of subcontractor insurance documents submitted through Billy and syncs them automatically to Procore and Sage 300”
Now available to all Billy customers, the AI Review Assistant results in notable benefits for Billy’s users, including:
- Risk Mitigation & Reduced Exposure: The AI Review Assistant identifies missing or non-compliant insurance coverages, ensuring that subcontractors meet your project-specific requirements.
- Seamless Integration: The AI Review Assistant is compatible with Procore, Autodesk, DocuSign, and accounting systems like Sage 300, Viewpoint Vista and Oracle JD Edwards.
- Operational Efficiency: The system flags discrepancies in real time, enabling construction companies to operationalize compliance by allowing field teams to allow subcontractor crews on site and office teams to process payments based on compliance in Billy.
Built With Construction Experts
“We built this with construction partners managing complex contract requirements,” said Brett Wise, Principal Software Engineer at Billy. Billy’s AI models are trained on a large dataset, ensuring accuracy and reliability. The system is modular, so new features can be added quickly. Teams can now check the contractual status of a subcontractor much faster.
Smarter Insurance Document Review
The AI reads and understands insurance documents—identifying if coverage requirements are met and whether endorsements are present and valid. This reduces manual work, lowers errors, and speeds up compliance checks.
“We designed a multi-layered AI architecture that lets us plug in the latest models as they evolve,” said Nyasha Gutsa, Billy’s CEO. “This gives our partners faster, more precise insights—and helps them make confident decisions.”
By integrating state-of-the-art AI models, Billy now provides a force multiplier for its partners. Billy can now aid in understanding insurance documents, whether the requirements for policies are met, and if endorsements are present and valid. This automation reduces manual intervention, minimizes errors, and accelerates response times.
Core Features of the AI Review Assistant
- Breakthrough Data Extraction: Reads documents that other OCR tools can’t.
- Natural Language Processing (NLP): Understands unstructured text for better insights.
- API Integration: Syncs with your systems for real-time updates and automation.
Built for the Future
Billy is committed to ongoing innovation. With AI as a core component, we’re building tools that eliminate manual work and deliver powerful, real-time compliance support to every construction team.
