OpenSpace sees the jobsite.
Ruh AI runs the business behind it.
OpenSpace captures 360 site walks and tracks progress. Ruh deploys AI employees that estimate, process invoices, run marketing, and book sales, inside the tools your team already uses, and built around how your business actually works.
One AI workforce for estimating, accounts payable, marketing, and sales. Custom built, live in about a week.

A point tool, or a workforce.
Both use AI. They solve very different sized problems. Here is the honest framing of each.
OpenSpace
An AI reality-capture platform. A 360 camera on a hard hat walks the site, and the Vision Engine maps every photo to the floor plan and tracks progress. Powerful, and fixed to one job.
- •Scope: construction-phase documentation and progress
- •Needs a 360 camera and regular site walks
- •Tracks built work, it does not estimate or run finance
- •Priced on annual construction volume, quote only
Ruh AI
A digital workforce for construction. AI employees that estimate, invoice, market, and sell across your business, built around your exact workflows and run inside the tools you already use.
- Scope: estimating, AP, marketing, sales and more
- Custom AI employees and workflows built for you
- Works inside your own tools, with human approval
- One workforce, higher ROI than a stack of tools
Built with construction teams, running in their tenants.
Ruh runs inside each customer's own environment, against the tools their team already trusts. Several engagements are under NDA, so the work is shown without naming the firm. Every workstream below is ready to deploy in your business.
National AP, modernized
Replaced a five-stage manual invoice cleanup with an automated pipeline straight into VIM and JD Edwards E1.
Invoice cycle time cut ~70%
Paperless invoice ops
Egnyte-native document matching with automated Bluebeam stamping. No more manual routing across the district.
12+ hrs/week saved per district
An AI concierge
A voice and text assistant handling travel and calendar coordination for senior leadership.
~10 hrs/week reclaimed for leadership
Takeoff from drawings
Automated takeoff turns drawings into priced estimates the team reviews, instead of raw quantities to retype.
Bid turnaround ~50% faster
Change orders, vetted
Flags scope changes, quantifies the impact across trades, and routes them for approval.
Change-order review: days to hours
Pay apps and lien waivers
Assembles pay applications and lien waivers from project data, ready for a human to review.
Billing cycle: 2 weeks to ~3 days
What construction teams say about Ruh.
Operators across AP, estimating, project controls, and billing, in their own words, with the results they have seen.
“Our AP team used to spend the first half of every week untangling the same five-stage invoice cleanup before anything could touch JD Edwards. Ruh's pipeline cleans, codes, and pushes the invoice through VIM with the GL string already right. Month-end stopped being a fire drill.”
Invoice cycle time cut ~70%
“Every district had its own Egnyte folder logic and its own Bluebeam stamping habits. Ruh matched documents the way our PMs would have matched them by hand, then ran the Bluebeam stamps without anyone asking twice. I haven't routed a paper invoice in months.”
12+ hrs/week saved per district
“Our CEO is on the road to three job sites a week, and the fourth is usually somewhere with no usable signal. Having an assistant that handles the calendar holds, the rebooked flights, and the 'where am I tomorrow' over text, without a human in the loop on every move, has given the office back hours we didn't know we were losing.”
~10 hrs/week reclaimed for leadership
“Our estimators were spending more time retyping quantities than thinking about scope. Ruh reads our drawings the way a senior estimator does, it knows what's a connection, what's a stiffener, what's a field weld, and gives us a priced estimate we actually want to review instead of rebuild.”
Bid turnaround ~50% faster
“On a complex MEP job you can have forty change events in flight at once, and the cost of missing one is real. Ruh catches the scope shift the day it shows up in the RFI log, ties it back to the right trade, and gives us a quantified impact before the meeting. Our review backlog basically disappeared.”
Change-order review: days to hours
“Pay app season used to mean two weeks of our billing team chasing waivers across email, SharePoint, and three subcontractor portals. Ruh assembles the whole package, application, conditional and unconditional waivers, in the right order, ready for a human pass. We close billing cycles in days now.”
Billing cycle: 2 weeks to ~3 days

Togal handles the takeoff. Ruh deploys AI employees across the work that surrounds it, sharing one knowledge base and one audit trail.
Takeoff and estimating
Automated takeoff turns plans into priced, reviewable estimates, not just raw quantities to retype.
AP invoice intelligence
Capture, code, and post supplier invoices into your accounting system.
Change order vetting
Flag scope changes, quantify impact across trades, and route for approval.
Daily field reports
Turn site notes and logs into clean, consistent daily reports automatically.
Bid tracking
Track every invitation to bid, due date, and follow-up in one place, so no opportunity slips through.
Sales and CRM
Qualify leads, follow up, and book meetings, straight into your CRM.

75% and 90% are Ruh's advertised platform outcomes. Your results depend on scope and rollout.
Not a generic tool. A workforce built around your business.
Point tools ship everyone the same fixed features. Ruh starts with every capability already in the market, then builds on top, custom AI employees and workflows shaped to how your business actually runs. That is where the ROI lives.
Every market feature, included
Whatever the point tools do, Ruh already covers, in one platform.
Custom built on top
Need something specific? We build the AI employee or workflow for it.
Fit to your stack and process
Ruh adapts to how you work, not the other way around.
Higher ROI, not another tool
One workforce that owns outcomes, instead of a stack of subscriptions.
Beam B-12 upsized from 400x600 to 450x700. Ruh compared the revised structural set against the issued-for-construction drawings and quantified the knock-on across trades.

| Concrete | +$4,200 |
| Rebar | +$1,850 |
| Formwork | +$0 |

Visibility is a start.
Doing the work is the job.
OpenSpace shows you what happened on site. It does not update the estimate, post the invoice, or write the report. Ruh takes the field reality and does the work that follows, with a person approving before anything is final.
See it on your own workCapture the field
Site walks and photos record progress. OpenSpace does this well.
Turn it into work
Ruh drafts the daily report, updates quantities, and flags scope changes.
Approve and move on
A human signs off in your tools. Then Ruh moves to the next task.
Most construction AI never pays off.
A point tool saves time on one task. It rarely changes the P&L. The research on AI adoption is blunt about it.

Ruh AI vs OpenSpace, answered.
The questions construction leaders ask when they compare the two.
Is Ruh AI a reality-capture tool like OpenSpace? +
No. Ruh does not replace a 360 camera or site walks. It connects to the capture tools you use and runs the business work around them, estimating, invoicing, reporting, marketing, and sales. If you like OpenSpace for documentation, keep it, and let Ruh own the workflows it never touches.
Do I have to replace OpenSpace to use Ruh? +
No. They solve different problems. Many teams keep OpenSpace for capture and deploy Ruh on the functions OpenSpace does not cover. The two run side by side.
Can Ruh do things OpenSpace cannot? +
Yes. OpenSpace is fixed to capture and progress. Ruh is a workforce you can extend, with custom AI employees and workflows built for how your business runs, on top of every capability already in the platform.
Does Ruh work with Procore and Autodesk? +
Yes. Ruh runs inside the construction stack, including Procore, Sage 300 CRE, Viewpoint Vista, QuickBooks, Bluebeam Revu, Salesforce, HubSpot, Microsoft 365, and Teams.
How is pricing different? +
OpenSpace prices on annual construction volume, quote only, and progress tracking is a paid add-on. Ruh is priced as a workforce around the functions you deploy, not on hardware or volume. The right comparison is cost per outcome owned.
How fast can Ruh go live? +
About a week for a first deployment on your stack, with custom work scoped from there. The 30-minute walkthrough starts on one real workflow and you see output on your own work.
