Elecosoft has announced the launch of AstaGPT, an AI-powered tool for its Asta suite of project planning and scheduling solutions
The browser-based AI tool enables users throughout 180 countries to input questions and receive useful information about Asta Powerproject, Asta Vision and SiteProgress in over 150 languages.
AstaGPT draws upon the Asta help documentation to compile answers and deliver easy-to-follow solutions with links back to the original Asta help documentation content.
The Asta suite is used globally to plan, track and deliver complex structures such as the Tottenham Hotspur Football Stadium, Hong Kong International Airport and The Shard in London.
Time-saving solutions
Global product manager, Martha Karagiorgi said: “AstaGPT is a significant tool for both new and experienced users of Asta. This feature will save them precious time when accessing our expert help, meaning they can get back to their tasks faster and equipped with the right solutions. We also see AstaGPT as a valuable addition to our customers’ onboarding and upskilling journeys.
“We are immensely fortunate to have invested in developing best-in-class Asta Suite help documentation over many years. All 1.5 million words of it have been written and carefully updated by our software experts. AstaGPT complements this resource by significantly enhancing how users access, understand and action those 1.5 million words of expert help.”

Daniel Hewson, data capability manager, who is leading Elecosoft’s AI Roadmap, commented: “AstaGPT brings immediate value to our customers and that’s why we’re excited to put it in their hands today and get their feedback for continuous improvement, therefore this is just the beginning.”
