The Power of Words: Benetics Launches Voice Assistant for Construction Reporting **Join Our Beta Test!**

Imagine turning your voice into the ultimate tool on the job site. That’s exactly what our new feature in the Benetics app does, and we're thrilled about it: Automatic report creation through natural speech.

The new "Benetics Voice Assistant" saves you and your team valuable time on the tedious task of report writing, such as for supervisory work. Discover this new feature and how you can try it out during the beta phase. We've got a demo video ready for you too.

The Myth: "Voice recognition? It never works on phones.”

Everyone’s had those frustrating moments with voice input. You speak clearly and carefully into your phone, and still, the result is a total disappointment. Those days are over – New applications like ChatGPT demonstrate how AI can enable totally natural interactions with your phone, even in dialect. Our new voice assistant allows natural interactions with your phone, even in dialect and in many other languages including Spanish, French, German, Portuguese and many more.

We've now integrated this cutting-edge tech into Benetics, starting with report writing. It’s something you need to experience to believe. Speak naturally into your phone – even if it's disorganized, with "um's" and "ah's" and corrections. When you’re done, our voice assistant will create a structured report in seconds, organized into your chosen form. It groups related info together seamlessly.

Your Benefits: What Our Voice Assistant Can Do for You

  • Save time: Just talk as you normally would... and you're done! No more endless typing or scribbling notes.
  • More flexibility: Create reports on-site or whenever it’s convenient – nothing gets lost or forgotten.
  • Custom forms: We offer easy-to-use templates for all kinds of reports, from supervisory work to time tracking, leave requests, RFIs, and more – we can also customize a report for you.
  • Multilingual: Our voice assistant understands over 10 languages and even dialects – for non-native speakers, we’ll soon offer automatic translations.

It's That Simple to Use:

1. Press the Mic Button: This appears in the report once you’re enabled for the feature.

2. Speak Naturally: Describe what needs to be captured in natural language – either all at once or in parts. For example: "Today, I replastered the second-floor wall. This was a supervisory job, super last minute. The client assigned it this morning. I used 2 kilograms of plaster. It took over 3 hours. Oh wait, it was actually 4 hours, including travel." You see, you can correct yourself, our voice assistant gets it and keeps up. And it understands technical terms.

3. Review Content: In seconds, the content appears structured in the right fields of the report. Make adjustments easily with the keyboard or more voice input.

4. Add Photos: Optionally, add a photo of the work.

5. Save: Hit "Save" and the report is stored in the system. Edit it later on your computer if needed.

Want to Try the Voice Assistant?

We’re still in the beta phase. If you want to test the Benetics Voice Assistant, email Paul at paul@benetics.io or book your demo appointment. We’ll enable the feature for you and your company within 24 hours. We plan to enable this for all Benetics users soon.

Why Sign Up as an Early Adopter?

The initial results are awesome: Reports are created faster than ever, and with fewer mistakes. The easy use means reports are less likely to be forgotten, as they can be made immediately and don't fall through the cracks. This is crucial for supervisory work, ensuring additional work gets billed. In the future, we want everyone on-site to create reports as easily, comfortably, and accurately as possible – so project managers don't have to chase reports but only review them.

A Big Thank You

The idea for our voice assistant came from working closely with our customers and development partners. Big thanks to companies like Bernauer, Landis Bau, and Jada Insulations for their valuable insights and support. And a huge thank you to all of you who want to test our "Benetics Voice Assistant" starting now. Grab a test spot and make your workday – and the construction world – a little better. We can't wait to hear from you!
