What are the differences between Procore AI and Datagrid?

Answer

Procore AI is built into Procore and works with your project data from the side panel.

Datagrid is the broader standalone product, powered by the same AI technology, that extends AI across data from many sources — with or without Procore or Procore AI. Even if you never buy Datagrid standalone, every Procore Digital Coworker package includes a connected Datagrid environment, where administrators monitor AI credit usage and teams can organize AI work.

Procore AI

Procore AI is built directly into the Procore AIWhite background so it shows in dark mode. This is the same icon as used for Assist, but it's crisper and white background. Other Assist one can be deleted after that tool is phased out. side panel, where you can retrieve project data and deploy the agents you've selected or built. Because it lives inside Procore, it's suited to in-the-moment work:

  • Contextual awareness. Procore AI can often use the page you're viewing in Procore to inform its responses — a benefit of working inside the platform rather than a separate environment.

  • Drafting in your workspace. The AI side panel stages drafts, such as an RFI it's creating for you, right where you're working, so you can move from asking to reviewing the result without leaving your project.

  • Integrated retrieval. Search and analyze your Procore data in the flow of the work you're already doing.

Datagrid

Whether Datagrid comes with your Digital Coworker package or you use it as a standalone product, it gives you a dedicated workspace for AI results and administration. In Datagrid, administrators monitor credit usage through Control Tower, and teams can collaborate on and organize AI work on 'pages':

  • Pin AI insights. Pin specific AI responses to a page to centralize research on complex issues, and keep long-running research organized across sessions or projects.

  • Live data blocks. Embed queries — such as a list of open submittals for a project — that refresh automatically as things change in Procore.

  • Collaborate with @mentions. Refine work together with annotations and @mentions for peer review and cross-functional feedback.

Digital Coworker Enterprise adds further customization and governance in this environment, such as building reusable agent templates that apply your company's standards across projects. In Procore AI and in Datagrid, you can build custom agents if you have the AI Enterprise tier. Learn more about the differences between the Digital Coworker packages.

Datagrid as a standalone product

If you use Datagrid on its own — without a Digital Coworker package — you can connect data from multiple projects in one teamspace and run analysis across them. This is what makes cross-project analysis possible, such as comparing safety metrics across several regions at once. This cross-project AI analysis is not yet available to Procore AI customers. Datagrid standalone customers have more control over the boundaries of a "teamspace".
