Trunk Tools, Inc.

Trunk Tools, Inc. builds an AI platform for the construction industry, applying artificial intelligence, AI agents, natural language question answering and document intelligence to the problem of managing project information. The company describes its system as field-first: intelligent agents are designed to augment the capabilities of construction professionals rather than replace them, with the stated aim of delivering the right information to the right people at the right time. Its work sits at the intersection of data science and construction domain expertise, addressing what the firm identifies as a $13 trillion industry.

Two products define the current platform. TrunkText lets teams pose questions and receive answers sourced directly from specifications, RFIs, drawings and contracts, with answers delivered in under 30 seconds. TrunkSubmittal automatically reviews submittals to flag discrepancies before they lead to rework, and handles 90% of submittals without manual review.

The platform is deployed on more than 500 jobsites and touches over $50 billion in construction volume. The company has raised $70 million. It was founded by Dr. Sarah Buchner, who began as a carpenter at the age of 12 in Austria before completing a PhD in Civil Engineering and Data Science.
