A year ago, we introduced TED, Track3D’s AI assistant built into the web app, so you could ask a progress question and get a real-time answer without digging through a dashboard. It’s since become one of the most-used ways people get answers out of Track3D, because most of the time, you don’t need a comprehensive report. You need a progress number, and you need it fast.
Now that same intelligence goes wherever you do. With Track3D’s SMS Agent, you can text a project question, in your own words, and get a precise answer, right from your phone.
Whether you’re on a site walk, in back-to-back meetings, coordinating with a sub, or responding to a client or project executive who needs an answer right now, pausing in the middle of something important to track down information isn’t always realistic. That’s where the SMS Agent takes over.
Ask the SMS Agent like you’d ask a teammate
Ask the SMS Agent the way you’d ask a colleague standing next to you. No commands, no menus, no specific phrasing to remember. It understands plain, natural language, picks up what you mean, and answers right in the same thread.
A few examples of what that looks like:
1. Progress completed on a specific trade or subtrade
Ask for the exact percent complete or quantity installed on any scope, and know precisely where that trade stands.
2. Pending progress on a specific trade or subtrade
Continue your queries in the same thread and ask about pending progress, so you always know what’s falling behind before it holds up the schedule.
3. Progress between any two dates
Ask for progress between any two dates and get the exact number, useful for reviewing the week’s productivity or validating a scope before inspection.
4. Planned versus actual progress
Compare planned against actual for any trade, on any level, and quickly spot where things are ahead or falling behind.
5. Which stages haven’t started
Ask which stages show zero progress in a specific area, and flag what needs a follow-up before it becomes a delay.
6. When work actually started on a scope
Ask when a category or stage first kicked off, and validate planned start dates against what actually happened in the field.
7. Overall progress, for the bigger picture
Ask a broader question, like an entire category or the whole project, and the Agent brings you the full picture. For responses too detailed for text, you’ll get a link straight to the complete breakdown.
And this is just a starting point. However you’d naturally ask about your project’s progress, the Agent is built to understand it.
That’s really the value here: you ask the way the question actually occurs to you, mid-walk, mid-call, mid-conversation, and the Agent works out what you mean, pulls the right number, and answers with the project already in view.
Why this matters beyond convenience
This is Reality Intelligence doing what it’s meant to do: putting live, accurate project data directly in the hands of whoever needs it, at the moment they need it, which changes how people actually work, not just how they get an answer. This results in:
- Faster decisions: Catching pending progress early lets you act before it becomes a real schedule issue, not just know about it sooner.
- Accuracy in communication: An exact number in a client call protects trust, instead of an estimate that you might have to correct later.
- Removing a dependency on other people: The number is available the moment you ask for it, so the decision doesn’t wait on anyone else’s availability.
- Consistency across the team: Everyone is pulling from the same live project data, so two people asking the same question, a super on-site and a PM in the office, get the same answer.
From a quick trade-level check to the full picture of where your project stands, Track3D’s SMS Agent is here to make sure you get what you need, when you need it, without slowing anything down.
