The Three Weeks Your Estimator Spends On A Bid, Done In An Afternoon. Boon AI Opens Early Access To Its AI Estimator

Published

SAN MATEO, Calif., July 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Boon AI today opened early access to Boon Agent, an AI estimator for construction. It does the work an estimating team spends about three weeks on, start to finish, in an afternoon. Upload a project and the agent triages the bid, reviews the specs, catches the drawing conflicts, runs the quantity takeoff across trades, generates the trade RFQs, and levels the sub bids, then hands your estimator a bid-ready package to review. In one real project, work that runs an estimator roughly three weeks came back in about seven minutes.

Most AI tools are a faster mouse. They speed up one click. Boon Agent is a different category. It is not a faster takeoff tool and it is not a chatbot that reads text. It is an estimator that does the judgment work across the whole bid, then keeps working on its own.

It does the whole bid. Triage, spec review, drawing-conflict catch, takeoff, RFQ generation, and bid leveling run as one workflow instead of seven stitched-together point tools. Subcontractors get quantities and draft RFIs. General contractors get a leveled bid comparison with scope gaps flagged. The first result lands in minutes.

It reads the drawings. The agent cross-references plans and specs and catches conflicts between a spec section and a plan sheet that a general-purpose chatbot cannot see. Every catch carries a page reference and an audit trail.

It remembers you, and it works while you sleep. Your second project is smarter than your first. Connect your planroom and the agent watches for new sheets and revisions, then reaches out unprompted with what changed in your scope and the RFIs to send.

“Estimating is the only seat in construction where we still expect one person to hold the entire project in their head,” said Deepti, Founder and CEO of Boon AI. “Boon Agent is the estimator that reads every page, runs the takeoff, levels the bids, and hands your team a package to review. You are not buying a faster tool. You are hiring an estimator that scales.”

“It gives us the power to ask those questions early on,” said Ted Zimmerhanzel, VP of Preconstruction at Guido Construction. “Reading through a spec book by hand is three days of work. With Boon it collapses to minutes.”

Boon Agent works for subcontractors, general contractors, and civil and sitework teams. Onboarding takes one email. No password, no procurement cycle.

Early access is open now at https://www.getboon.ai/boon-agent.

PITTSBURGH, July 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — “As a part-time food delivery person, I thought there could be an improved food delivery bag to secure a straw,” said an inventor, from Otsego, Minn., “so I invented the MODIFIED DELIVERY- TO GO BAG W/ REINFORCED STRAW INSERT. My design ensures the straw is secure during transit and delivery.”

The invention provides an improved way to secure a straw to a food delivery bag. In doing so, it prevents the straw from falling onto the seat or floor of a vehicle, the ground, etc. As a result, it increases convenience, and it saves time and effort. The invention features a practical design that is easy to use so it is ideal for food delivery services and delivery drivers.

The original design was submitted to the National sales office of InventHelp. It is currently available for licensing or sale to manufacturers or marketers.

Designed with pre-built or custom automations that scale security and creates a seamless bridge to the AI agent era

LOUISVILLE, Colo., July 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — JumpCloud Inc. today announced JumpCloud Workflows, an intelligent, no-code IT automation engine built directly into its platform. Workflows operate where identities, devices, and access policies already live as a single source of truth. This means IT teams can move faster to provision solutions, harden security, and modernize operations without having to re-platform as they grow.

Workflows is built to solve immediate IT challenges, while seamlessly designed for the growing demands of the agentic era. As AI agents begin doing real productive  work inside the enterprise, teams building on a combined identity-and-device foundation today won’t have to replace everything tomorrow. The JumpCloud foundation is precisely what prepares organizations for what’s next.

Key Capabilities of JumpCloud Workflows

Native no-code automation: Features an intuitive visual builder with pre-built templates for key tasks. This includes user activation and suspension, AI and SaaS license management, and device security fixes. It utilizes multi-trigger logic with zero custom code.Risk-free consumption scaling: Moves away from restrictive per-slot licensing models that force IT teams to ration automation. This ensures every workflow you’ve been holding back can be freely built, tested, and staged.Secure device foundation: Built directly into the core console, workflows run on the live, real-time state of the machine. They don’t rely on stale data synced from external tools.  This approach ensures complete infrastructure resiliency.Automated lifecycle management: Automatically discovers, registers, and manages access permissions across the entire organization. It seamlessly connects HR onboarding processes straight to live endpoint security posture.

“Workflows have been easy to build with. I’ve got a few running tasks that handle the boring audit stuff for me: empty group cleanup, duplicate user detection, and notifying managers when their team gains admin access,” said Joseph Cunningham, head of IT Security & Support, OOONO A/S. “It all ticks away in the background and frees up time for more interesting security work.”
