Project description

AI techniques improve project management

Back in 2015, machine translation and the virtual assistant were in their infancy. Artificial intelligence (AI) has advanced in leaps and strides since then. A multidisciplinary team has developed techniques to improve the financial and operational performances of large-scale projects like infrastructure construction, engineering and waste management. It combines unique AI models trained on real-life large-scale project management data with natural language-processing technology. It also extracts actionable insights from textual unstructured data sets like emails, meeting minutes, memos and reports. The European Research Council-funded project Lili.AI will test the solution to register weak signals received through real-time monitoring of project documentation.

Objective

Lili.AI is a breakthrough AI project management solution for organizations executing large-scale (€250M+ budget) projects in infrastructure construction, engineering, waste management & other industries.
Lili.AI combines unique AI models trained on real-life large-scale project management data with award-winning natural language processing technology. It extracts actionable insights from textual unstructured datasets —emails, meeting minutes, memos, reports, etc. Our TRL6 tech has proven successful in claims litigation with Lynkea; we are currently trialling the advanced prototype with NGE.
At TRL9 our solution will register weak signals received through real-time monitoring of project documentation. It will address organizations’ inability to detect & address problems early, which leads to their aggravation & costly penalties (average claim is ~€54M globally, according to Arcadis). Lili.AI will help them avoid such expensive delays/failures.
