In construction and infrastructure, teams still spend significant time on work that could in principle be automated: collecting handover documentation, generating test procedures, coordinating defects, and reporting status across systems and disciplines. Not because people don't want to do things differently, but because the tools haven't made it possible. Until now.
With Silicon Agents, TaskCtrl takes a clear step forward: AI should not be a feature you activate in a side panel, but an integrated part of how the platform works. Automation that actually helps the project team where the work happens.
The goal is not AI for its own sake, but measurable value in every project we are used in.
What are Silicon Agents?
Silicon Agents are specialised AI agents built directly into TaskCtrl. Each agent is developed for a specific area of project work, handover documentation, test planning, meeting minutes, risk assessment, commissioning, and more. The agents work with data you already have in the system, and can be coordinated through an orchestrator agent that amplifies the overall effect.
We have identified over ten agents that together cover the full project lifecycle. We launch them in prioritised order, based on where AI delivers the greatest immediate value.
The first four agents
Document Agent
Answers questions and reports on requirements directly from the project's document base. Provides fast access to information without manual searching across hundreds of documents.
User-defined agents
Lets you and your team build custom agents directly in TaskCtrl, based on domain knowledge and project-specific needs. Experts in the project define the agents. TaskCtrl runs them.
Handover documentation
AI-automated requirement definition and verification of O&M documentation. Identifies what is required per system based on system number, type and component hierarchy, coordinates collection from subcontractors, and quality-assures the delivery.
Systematic commissioning
Generates test procedures automatically, quality-assures test planning and commissioning, and identifies dependencies that could delay completion and handover.
What is the actual benefit?
We measure impact in KPIs that matter to the people doing the building. Not technical metrics, business value:
- Shorter completion time: automating manual processes frees up capacity and reduces waiting time in critical phases.
- Fewer defects at handover: consistent requirements and automated verification reduce gaps and shortfalls in the O&M package.
- Lower documentation cost per project: collecting and structuring documentation takes a fraction of the time it does today.
- Reduced material waste: better planning and precise solutions minimise waste and late-stage changes.
What does this mean for AI in construction?
The construction and infrastructure sector is one of the last major industries yet to fully realise the potential of digital transformation. Projects are complex, many parties are involved, and documentation requirements are substantial. That is precisely where AI agents provide the greatest value, not as a general-purpose tool, but as specialised solutions built around the industry's actual work processes.
TaskCtrl was built by people who have worked in the industry, and Silicon Agents are developed from the concrete problems we know project teams face every day. This is not AI for marketing purposes. It is automation where it actually helps.
The road ahead
The next step is a fully integrated AI solution where data from execution, testing and commissioning builds a knowledge base that makes the next project more efficient from day one. We are also looking at how agents can support engineers during the design phase itself, and in the longer term, contribute to a lower carbon footprint through more precise solutions and reduced material use.
We are underway. And we are only at the beginning.
Frequently asked questions
What are Silicon Agents?
Silicon Agents are specialized AI agents built into TaskCtrl. Each agent is designed for a specific area, such as documentation, handover, test planning and commissioning.
What data do the agents use?
The agents work with data that is already in the project in TaskCtrl.
How does AI help commissioning?
The commissioning agent is designed to generate test procedures, quality-check test planning and identify dependencies that could delay commissioning and handover.
