What Opusense AI does

Opusense AI automates field report writing for construction field inspectors. Instead of typing up notes at the end of the day, inspectors can now walk a site, speak observations aloud, snap photos, and let our AI assistant generate a detailed, organized report on-site and in real time. Combined, the founding team has over 15 years in the construction industry. Writing up these field reports used to take up at least 20% of the week. With Opusense, we cut that time by 5x. Our team combines deep construction experience with technical expertise, Roya has a PhD in civil engineering, and Michael has worked at multiple construction tech startups. Why hasn’t this been done before? Construction is slow to adopt new tech, and reporting is messy, photos, voice notes, and field notes all live in silos. Turning that into a clear, structured report requires real insight into how inspectors work and what clients need. Only now, with advances in AI, can we process unstructured data adequately to generate high-quality reports in real time. The opportunity is massive. Every inspection firm and contractor is struggling with documentation. Manual reports slow them down, create inconsistencies, and delay handoffs. We believe AI can do this better, and Opusense is proving it.

AI for Field Inspection Reports

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We built a tool that lets construction field inspectors speak observations and take photos on site. Our AI processes their voice notes, photos, and manual inputs in real time to generate detailed, organized inspection reports on the spot. It replaces the typical end-of-day typing and manual report assembly.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in different locations, not centralized in one city. After YC, the company will remain distributed.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Construction tech users are spread out and mostly onsite. Being remote lets us stay close to different customers and sites without relocating.
