The agent works inside your project with the same documents and data you have. Here’s what it can do for you. Anything that creates or changes something needs Review or Auto mode — in Ask mode it only reads and answers.
Read and find
- Search and read drawings and specs. It finds the right sheets and sections, reads them, and cites them so you can check — click a citation to open the page.
- Open a drawing for you at the sheet and page it’s talking about.
- Read your project content — notes, estimates, schedules, sheets, RFIs, submittals and other logs.
- Read the project Directory — companies and contacts.
- Read linked data from tools connected on the project’s Data tab, such as Microsoft Planner, Microsoft Project, Primavera P6 or Excel.
- Search the web for codes, products, suppliers and pricing.
- Answer questions about Framework using this help center.
Write and build
- Notes — meeting minutes, daily and progress reports, scope summaries, project briefs. You can edit them like any note.
- Estimates — cost estimates from drawings, specs or a described scope, with quantities, rates and assumptions in the remarks.
- Sheets and logs — trackers and registers such as a permits log, closeout log or risk register.
- Schedules — a construction schedule with tasks, milestones and links, or a three-week lookahead.
- RFIs and submittals — drafts logged in the project’s RFI and submittal logs, referencing the right sheets and spec sections.
- Updates to any of the above — “add the garage”, “change the contingency to 12%”.
Whatever it creates opens in the main window as it’s written and is saved to the project, where everyone with access can see it.
Take off quantities
On vector PDF drawings — ones exported from CAD, not scanned — the agent can measure lengths, areas and counts and save them as a takeoff you can open, check on the drawing and pull into an estimate. Scanned drawings can’t be measured this way — measure those yourself in the viewer. See Takeoff & Measurements.
Remember
The agent saves useful facts — project details, your preferences, rates you’ve given it — as memories so it doesn’t have to ask again in the next chat. See What is Memory?
Run on a schedule
With Routines the agent can do a job on a schedule — a weekly lookahead every Monday morning, for example. See Routines.
What it can’t do
- Place markups on drawings. Markups and stamps are added by you.
- Add companies to the Directory from a chat. Companies named in your uploaded documents are suggested for you to approve (see Agent-Found Companies); anything else you add yourself.
- Delete documents or project items.
- Accept uploads in chat. Upload files in Files first.
- Go beyond your permissions. You need the Editor role or higher on the project to chat with the agent.
Every action uses AI credits. See Usage & AI Credits.
