Methods and systems for generative question answering for construction project data

A computer implemented system for generative question answering for construction project documents, the system comprising at least one processor, a memory, and instructions executable by the at least one processor to cause the at least one processor to perform:

• (a) receiving a question from a user via a message interface, wherein the question is related to information from a plurality of construction project documents;
• (b) generating a large language model (LLM) prompt based at least in part on the question;
• (c) identifying, using one or more LLMs, one or more relevant documents from the plurality of construction project documents and one or more chunks relevant to the question, and generating an answer based at least in part on the one or more relevant documents, the one or more relevant chunks, and the LLM prompt;
• and
• (d) providing the answer and one or more links to the one or more relevant chunks used to generate the answer in a text message in the message interface.
