nCircle Tech launches nVibe AI app builder

Excerpt from AEC Magazine

AEC professionals describe the workflow and AI application platform builds the app nCircle Tech has launched nVibe, an AI-powered development platform designed specifically to help AEC professionals turn ideas into working applications without needing coding skills. Domain experts, including site managers, project engineers and VDC leads, can describe a workflow in plain language, and nVibe builds the application within a sandboxed environment designed to give IT teams control over security, permissions and deployment. According to nCircle Tech, nVibe differs from general-purpose AI coding tools through its built-in understanding of AEC terminology and workflows. This includes concepts such as Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) codes, CSI MasterFormat, RFIs, submittals and LoD 100–500.

    Mori AI home robot "resembles a contemporary table lamp"

    Robotics startup OKA has released a lamp-shaped artificial intelligence robot designed to offer companionship by greeting people, dancing to music and playing nature sounds. Mori by OKA (One Kind Artificat) is 26.4 centimetres tall, with a cloth-covered base and an illuminated, dome-shaped head that lifts to reveal cartoonish eyes that blink and swivel. According to OKA, Mori "resembles a contemporary table lamp" and was designed to "help people feel calmer, more at ease, and more connected to the world around them". "We wanted Mori to feel like a familiar object in the home rather than an unfamiliar machine," OKA told Dezeen. "Many robots look technical, mechanical, or overly human, while a lamp is something people already live with comfortably." Gallery Previous Next Gallery Close The robot exists in two modes: a lamp setting, when it's compact and at rest, and a responsive setting, when the head is lifted and tilted.

    Trimble embeds AI across AECO

    Trimble Connect platform introduces AI agents and automation to improve project coordination, manage risk and streamline workflows Trimble has embedded AI within Trimble Connect , expanding the platform beyond its traditional role as a common data environment (CDE) to connect site information with design, cost and operational workflows. The new capabilities are intended to help teams identify and mitigate risks across the project lifecycle, while keeping human judgement at the centre of decision-making. Unveiled at Trimble’s Dimensions User Conference, the AI capabilities span design, construction and project operations. In design, they include generating architectural options using live as-built point-cloud data, converting natural-language prompts into constructible structural models, and automatically classifying scanned point clouds into structural elements. For construction teams, applications include AI-powered diagnostics for machine-control systems, converting 360-degree site walk videos into 3D point clouds, and voice-driven site inspections that automatically transcribe observations and link them to project drawings.
