Hearth AI

The problem

Site photos are stuck in camera rolls

Photos and videos of the site pile up in camera rolls and group chats — no location, no element, no analysis. What happened on site today gets typed into the schedule and the projections by hand, days later.

No location, no element, no date against the plan. The evidence exists — nobody has time to go through 184 of them.

The solution

Capture the site. Hearth does the rest.

Film the site however you already do. Hearth reads the capture, keeps the schedule and the projections current, and updates BIM and other 3D models.

01 · Reality capture

Plug Hearth into your existing reality capture solution or use our cameras

Phone walksA ten-minute walk on the phone a super already carries.

Hardhat and 360 camerasClip-on units, or the 360 rig you already own.

DronesExterior and structure flights — photos, point clouds, splats.

Fixed site camerasMast or ceiling mounted, one per active zone. Nobody walks it.

Already on OpenSpace or Track3D? We consume that capture too — we never compete with it.

02 · Analysis → automated schedules and projections

Hearth analyzes the images, updates the schedule, and flags delays, deviations, and safety concerns.

What changed this morning

Anything under 0.85 confidence goes to a person, never silently into the plan.
