SAN FRANCISCO, CA – 20/12/2025 – () – Briq has announced a major expansion of its autonomous AI work platform, Otto, ushering in a new automation phase for construction and engineering firms that use Trimble’s software ecosystem. These latest upgrades allow Otto to operate smoothly across top Trimble solutions—including Tekla, Viewpoint, Spectrum, and related platforms—enabling companies to automate intricate workflows from design through financial operations with little human input.
Trimble’s applications have long served as central record-keeping systems for the construction industry, supporting key activities such as modeling, project controls, and financial management. Briq’s Otto builds on this existing base by introducing what the company terms “systems of action”: autonomous digital workers able to perform tasks across multiple enterprise systems, rather than just tracking or reporting on work.
By adopting Otto, firms can move beyond traditional reliance on dashboards, approvals, and manual handoffs. The platform is engineered to execute end-to-end processes across both project-level and back-office operations, facilitating continuous workflows that cut down on delays and operational friction.
Within the Tekla environment, Otto aids in automated quantity takeoffs and constructability insights, while ensuring ongoing synchronization between design models, estimating tools, and procurement systems. Changes to models can directly initiate downstream tasks, helping teams respond more quickly to evolving project needs.
Across Viewpoint and Spectrum, Otto facilitates autonomous management of financial workflows, covering accounts payable and receivable, payroll processing, and job cost updates. The platform also supports continuous reconciliation between field activity, financial data, and project controls, moving exception handling to real time instead of relying on labor-intensive month-end procedures.
Beyond individual applications, Otto is built to operate across the broader Trimble ecosystem. Its AI workers can comprehend jobs, cost codes, vendors, contracts, and schedules, enabling smart data transfer between systems—not just within them. This method decreases reliance on manual data transfers, “swivel-chair” workflows, and offshore labor, while boosting consistency and accuracy.
“Trimble has developed some of the most vital record-keeping systems in construction,” said Bassem Hamdy, CEO of Briq. “Otto turns those platforms into action systems by autonomously performing work across projects and the back office. The aim is to move from software that merely tracks work to software that actively does it, at an enterprise scale.”
Unlike copilots or point solutions that automate single steps, Otto is framed as a fully autonomous work platform. It is designed to carry out discrete tasks from start to finish across multiple systems, allowing organizations to operate more efficiently, scale without a corresponding rise in overhead, and make decisions with greater confidence.
As construction firms confront growing pressure to deliver projects faster while managing costs, the integration of Trimble’s established platforms with Otto’s autonomous execution capabilities indicates a wider transformation in how digital work is conducted across the industry.
