Hey Ovo,
who held us up?
Ovo is the AI that runs the project alongside you. Captures every chat. Classifies it against your schedule and contract. Tracks every time-bar. Drafts every notice. Answers your crew’s questions on your behalf — so you can walk site, take calls, and trust the project state is current behind you.
- Ovo answers crew questions you’d normally field
- Answer HC questions on the spot — in any meeting, with proof
- Run the project from site, not from the office
- One-tap approvals from the ute or the lift
- Time-bar deadlines surfaced before they expire
- Every chat auto-classified to the right task

Six things Ovo does so you don’t have to.
From auto-classifying every chat to drafting the notice of delay — the back-end work nobody pays you for, done in the background.
Auto-classify every chat
Every message from your crew or the HC gets matched against your schedule and contract. Completion → mark complete. Other-trade blockage → EOT candidate. HC-directed scope → variation. You don't classify anything; you approve what Ovo classified.
Time-bar tracker
Every notice deadline tracked — initial notice, full claim, weekly updates, variation notices. Surfaced 4 hours before they expire, every time. Strict eligibility logic baked in.
Knowledge base answers crew questions
“Cable tray spec in zone 3?” “Is V-020 approved yet?” “Where’s the wet-area drawing?” Ovo pulls answers from contract docs, drawings, approval status and prior chats — instantly. Stops you being the human FAQ for your crew.
Field notes inbox
When Ovo can't match a worker's report to a task, it sends you a refined summary. One tap: attach to the right task, log as XW, add as a new task, or dismiss. Nothing falls through. Ovo never invents a task ID.
Defensible audit trail
Every change — every variation, every status update, every approval — tied to the verbatim source message that triggered it. Immutable at the database layer. When the HC pushes back on XW-22, you have the chat receipts.
Schedule that updates from chat
Import the HC's programme once, expand into your trade tasks. From then on, completions, blockers, EOT-driven shifts and variation tasks all flow into the schedule from the crew chat — in real time. The schedule lives with the project.
Where you actually work.
Schedule on the left, decisions on the right. One screen. One project. No tab-hopping, no copy-pasting, no reconstructing the month from chat at 11pm.
7:42am to 5:00pm. Without thinking.
Three moments from a real PM day, with Ovo doing the typing.
Time-bar warning — 4 hours out
Phone buzzes: “⚠ Initial notice due 17:00 today for E-007 (mech delay).” You’re on a roof. Tap to open. Notice is pre-drafted with the source messages and the affected task. Edit one sentence, hit send. Done by 12:04.
Initial notice due Thu 17:00 (14h).
HC PM directs new scope verbally
On site, HC’s PM says “mate, can you do the extra waterproofing in 3.10-3.14?” You voice-message Ovo: “HC just directed extra waterproofing in MHU 3.10 to 3.14.” Ovo drafts V-026, attaches your message as evidence, sets the time-bar clock. You confirm with one tap on the way to the next task.
Priced at SOR: ~$3,400.
Notice due Thu 17:00 (2d 5h).
End-of-day digest
One message from Ovo: “Today: 1 EOT logged, 1 variation captured ($3,400), 8 task completions, 4 crew questions answered, 0 missed notices. Tomorrow’s critical: full claim for E-007 by 17:00 Thu.” You close the app. Project is current.
What a PM gets back.
Real-time chat capture replaces manual triage, claim prep and notice drafting. PM gets roughly 1.5 working days back per week.
Based on GM Fire pilot chat analysis, zero notice deadlines would have been missed if Ovo had been live. Previously: 2–3 missed per year per project.
From one 11-month GM Fire engagement on a 19-storey Brisbane residential tower. Six top claim events Ovo would have surfaced from the chat trail — variations, EOTs, defended back-charges.

I stopped carrying the project in my head. I walk site, take calls, draft RFIs — and trust the project state is current behind me. I sleep better.
