NavigateAI launches with $25M to build AI copilots for construction workers, addressing labor shortages and boosting efficiency.

NavigateAI, founded by Opendoor co-founder Eric Wu, has launched with $25 million in seed funding to develop AI copilots that assist field workers in construction and maintenance. These AI tools provide real-time coaching, project scoping, quality control, and knowledge access to improve speed, cost, and quality in the trillion-dollar trades economy. The company aims to address critical labor shortages and skill gaps in the U.S. construction industry, partnering with major firms like Lennar and Tishman Speyer. NavigateAI’s technology runs on smartphones and Meta Glasses, helping workers build faster and more efficiently, with plans to expand AI support across the physical workforce.
