Mercator.ai, founded by Chloe Smith in Calgary, is revolutionizing the construction industry by using AI to streamline project tracking and enhance decision-making. The platform aggregates data from various sources to identify opportunities, reducing the industry's dependence on informal networks and personal relationships. Currently tested in Texas, Mercator aims to improve productivity by automating low-value tasks and fostering focused human interaction. The platform is seen as a 'Spotify for construction,' consolidating real-time project information much like Spotify does with music.
