About
Real-Time Material Marketplace
A dynamic, AI-driven marketplace that connects construction sites with suppliers in real-time. Uses data from the RAG system to predict material needs and optimize supply chains, ensuring just-in-time delivery and minimizing waste. It would track prices and availability of materials regionally and nationally.

Future Scenarios that inspired this product idea

Using AI RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation), construction crews use connected devices that pull data from various sources, including building plans and weather data, to make just-in-time decisions at the edge.
Extrapolated from DeepSeek’s R1 and OpenAI’s Deep Research just redefined AI — RAG, distillation, and custom models will never be the same - VentureBeat
