Calculated Industries, a manufacturer of specialty calculators and construction tools, is expanding its CMPro app with Ask CMPro, an artificial intelligence (AI)-powered construction math assistant built on their 40 years of proprietary construction math expertise.
Unlike general-purpose AI tools that pull information from broad internet sources, Ask CMPro is built on Calculated Industries’ proprietary CMPro construction math system, trusted by millions of construction professionals for decades. Designed specifically for real world jobsite workflows, Ask CMPro provides step-by-step guidance for tasks such as calculating rafter pitch, material takeoffs and stairs. Ask CMPro delivers AI-powered guidance so contractors and tradespeople can get answers quickly without stopping work to search manuals, videos or guides.
Calculated Industries calculators and digital tools are trusted by contractors, tradespeople, estimators, unions, apprenticeship programs and trade schools. With Ask CMPro, users can:
- Ask questions and receive answers by voice or text
- Save chat sessions with time-stamped history
- Review previous calculations and guidance
- Turn AI features on or off at any time
- Submit in-app feedback to improve future performance
- Obtain step-by-step calculations for rafter pitch, stair layout, material takeoffs and more.
“AI is only useful on the jobsite if the answers can be trusted,” said Steve Kennedy, Calculated Industries president. “Built on four decades of proven CMPro construction math, Ask CMPro delivers AI-powered step-by-step guidance to help users work faster and with greater confidence.”
The CMPro app is developed and supported by Calculated Industries’ in-house team in Carson City, Nevada, and continues to evolve based on feedback from contractors, educators and industry professionals.
