Piles of estimates, invoices and folders turning into data and ending up neatly filed in binders and on a laptop
From loose paper to organised data.It is what we do in every project: make the repetitive work, today spread across papers, screens and people, run on its own.

Above, the technology we master. Below, what it does for your company.

Calculated with 46 working weeks a year and 40-hour working weeks.

1,104 hours a year

It is like having one person working full time for 28 weeks on tasks that add no value.

Each square is one week of one person's work.

AI does not buildserious software.People do.

Today anyone can generate an app with a prompt. Making it work every day, with your data, without errors and without data leaks, is another matter. We use AI as one more component of the software, not as its author.

  • Your process first

    Before writing any code, we sit down with the people who do the work and watch it in action, exceptions included.

  • Reviewed engineering

    Code is written and reviewed by engineers, and we test it with your real documents before delivering it.

  • Your data, under control

    Together we define who can access what and where each piece of data is stored. Security is designed in, not added at the end.

  • We stay on afterwards

    We maintain and improve what we build. Budquo has been improving since 2024 with what its users ask for.

Custom AI consulting and development

  1. Step 1 of 3

    Audit

    We study the process as it is done today, with the people who do it every day, and measure where the time goes.

    You come away with a map of the process and a proposal for scope, timeline and cost. If AI does not make sense, we tell you.

  2. Step 2 of 3

    Development

    We build the solution on your data and your documents, not on generic examples, and validate it with you in stages.

    You see real progress from the first weeks, tested with your company's own cases.

  3. Step 3 of 3

    Implementation

    We integrate it where you already work: via API into your systems or with a dedicated interface, and we train your team.

    Then we stay on: maintenance, improvements and support for what we have built.

A selection of our AI projects in production

  • Office desk at a construction company with a central monitor connected to the laptop, the tablet, the invoices, the drawings and the hard hat

    The whole company, managed from a single system.

    Certis, construction company

    Construction · Grupo Certis In development

    Certis's central system, with built-in AI.

    Each department worked with its own software, and cross-referencing data between projects, purchasing or staff was manual work.

    We are building their central system to measure: it syncs all their programs and, from a dedicated interface, absolutely everything is managed.

    Its AI reads invoices and records them on its own, brings in unstructured data and answers like an assistant any question about projects, orders or people, among other functions.

    • Custom software
    • Dedicated interface
    • Invoice reading
    • Unstructured data
    • AI assistant
  • Mobile phone recording a site meeting on the table, with white hard hats and a solar plant in the background

    Every site meeting, turned into agreements, owners and deadlines.

    Entec

    Energy and construction · Entec Green

    A voice assistant for site meetings.

    Every meeting decided on changes, deadlines and owners that then had to be written up by hand, and some of it got lost along the way.

    The app records the meeting on site, tells each speaker apart even with background noise, extracts agreements, owners and deadlines and produces the minutes in the company's format. Afterwards, anyone can ask it what was decided in any previous meeting.

    • Speaker recognition
    • On-site transcription
    • Agreement extraction
    • Natural language queries

    “The app has drastically reduced the time spent writing minutes.”

    Bruno Guijo, Entec Green
  • Rolled-up drawings, a printed construction estimate with marked line items and a calculator on a concrete table

    Every line item, priced with its own history.

    Certis, construction company

    Construction · Grupo Certis

    From pricing line items by hand to estimating with AI.

    To bid in tenders, the team priced every element of the project by hand against its internal database.

    We developed the tool that interprets and prices each line item using the contractor's history. It was the origin of Budquo.

    • Semantic search
    • Price history
    • Tenders

    “It is key to optimising our projections and making informed decisions quickly.”

    Ivan Blàzquez, Grupo Certis
  • Mountain hotel room with a lit fireplace and a tablet on the bedside table

    Bookings in two messages, without calling reception.

    Hotel Val de Ruda

    Hospitality · Hotel Val de Ruda

    A virtual assistant in every room.

    The hotel wanted booking the spa, a dinner or breakfast not to depend on calling reception.

    The assistant books any service in two messages and answers guests' questions about the hotel.

    • Conversational assistant
    • Automatic bookings

    “It has made the stay more comfortable and efficient.”

    Ambros Barberà, Hotel Val de Ruda
  • This is just a selection.

    There are more projects in construction, industry, energy, hospitality and the public sector. The next one could be yours.

What does Diip AI do?

We analyse your company's processes, identify which ones can be automated with artificial intelligence and build the custom software that does it, integrated into the tools you already use.

How is it different from using ChatGPT or another AI tool?

A generic tool answers questions. We build software that works with your documents and your data, with quality controls, permissions and support, so that it works every day and not just in a demo.

Which processes can be automated with artificial intelligence?

The ones that repeat every day and take up hours of skilled people: estimates and quotes, invoices and delivery notes, minutes from a meeting recording, customer service, information search or monitoring a plant through its cameras.

Do you only work with construction companies?

No. Construction is our speciality and we created Budquo for it, but we have projects in industry, energy, hospitality and the public sector, and we look at any sector with repetitive processes.

What is Budquo?

Budquo is the AI construction estimating software we have developed at Diip AI. It generates prices and cost breakdowns from each company's history. It was named best startup at Construmat 2024.

How does a project with Diip AI start?

With a conversation about the process you want to improve. If we see that AI makes sense, we carry out an audit and propose scope, timeline and cost before developing anything.
