The gap is everywhere, on jobsites and in back offices. Humans alone can’t fill it.\n\n## AI-enabled construction ready for the real world.\n\nGritt is on-site building infrastructure with top ten US EPCs today. We’re just getting started.\n\n### An intelligent system.\n\nNot just hardware. Not just AI. Gritt spans intelligence and robotics, all built with one of the world’s largest troves of spatial and operational data.\n\n### Starts with the hardest jobs. Extends across the full process.\n\nGritt handles pick-and-place, transport, and assembly across solar, concrete, and rebar. We’re expanding to cover verification and planning.\n\n[See our work in solar](/solar)\n\n### Gritt works anywhere work happens.\n\nAdd Gritt to common equipment using off-the-shelf attachments and minimal custom hardware. Ready for dust, heat, cold, and any terrain.\n\n## One AI backbone for all construction work.\n\nConstruction work is five jobs in one. Gritt helps with all of them using the same intelligence. Starting in solar. Expanding to data center and large infrastructure.\n\n### Pick and place\n\nPositioning the right parts in the right place\n\n### Assembly\n\nJoining parts into finished structures.\n\n### Transportation\n\nMoving materials where they need to be, when they need to be there.\n\n### Verification\n\nInspections, logs, and documentation.
