Artificial intelligence is no longer a future concept for capital projects. It is rapidly becoming a requirement.
As we head into 2026, project teams are facing a hard reality: projects are getting more complex, resources are tighter, and experienced talent is harder to find. The organizations that will succeed are not the ones adding more people or more reports, but the ones using technology to help their teams work smarter, faster, and with greater confidence.
That reality is driving O3’s strategy forward — and it’s why we’re introducing the AI Project Assistant: Otto.
“AI isn't going to take your job, people who use AI better than you are going to take your job,” Josh Girvin, CEO O3 Solutions.
Today’s capital projects generate massive amounts of data across engineering, planning, construction, and execution. But having data is not the same as having insight.
Many teams struggle with:
In many cases, valuable insights are buried behind complex reports or locked in the heads of a few experienced individuals. That model does not scale, especially in an environment where teams are being asked to do more with fewer resources and institutional knowledge is retiring in droves.
Otto is a major leap forward in how teams interact with their project data inside O3.
Instead of manually building reports or searching through dashboards, users can now chat directly with an AI-powered assistant to get answers, insights, and visuals from their actual project data.
This is not a generic chatbot.
It is your personal project assistant inside O3, combining:
With Otto, users can:
These AI-generated insights help teams move from raw data to clear priorities and informed decisions, faster than ever before.
Imagine logging into O3 each morning and be able to get real, deep insights into questions like:
For years, better reporting has meant more configuration, more training, and more reliance on specialists.
Otto flips that model onto its head.
It allows:
AI is not an experiment or a side feature at O3. It has been, and will continue to be, a core pillar of our product strategy going into 2026 and beyond.
We believe companies that fail to adopt AI-driven workflows will increasingly struggle to:
Our focus is on practical, embedded AI. Every AI capability we introduce in O3 is designed to reduce manual effort, improve decision quality, and help teams deliver better outcomes with fewer resources.
And Otto is just the beginning.
As we move into 2026, O3 is expanding AI deeper into reporting, relationships, and execution to help teams move faster with greater confidence. Upcoming enhancements will allow teams to turn AI conversations into recurring dashboards, executive-ready reports, saved queries, and trend analysis, reducing the time and effort required to communicate project health and priorities.
Beyond reporting, O3 is applying AI to understand how work actually connects and executes in the field. By using graphical model data to automatically identify relationships between work packages and by combining IWP scope, sequencing logic, crew availability, and constructability guidelines, O3 will begin recommending execution sequences and “what-if” scenarios. The result is AI that doesn’t just explain what’s happening, but actively helps teams evaluate options, anticipate impacts, and make better project decisions with fewer resources.
Otto represents a fundamental shift in how teams engage with their projects.
It’s not about replacing people. It’s about amplifying their impact.
By pairing AI with your project data and proven AWP best practices, O3 is helping teams move faster, see clearer, and execute with confidence, even in the face of growing complexity and resource constraints.
