POSCO E&C explained that this system was built to complement the general ChatGPT's weaknesses in searching construction terminology used on-site and the latest regulatory revision keywords.

This system possesses specialized construction knowledge equivalent to the amount an ordinary person would need to read continuously for 1 year and 6 months. Employees can immediately receive recommended improvement measures for construction site issues, related laws and standard specifications, and internal quality standards, with sources and links provided for direct verification. In addition to AI responses, it also offers a platform to connect and collaborate with in-house experts.

For example, when asked, "Please tell me the quality control precautions for exterior curtain wall glass work," the AI responds, "According to the National Construction Standard Code KCS 41 55 09 Glass Work 3.2 Glass Installation Methods, 3.2.5 Tempered Glass Installation Method P.33, the quality control standards are as follows."

A POSCO E&C R&D Center official emphasized, "We will continue to develop AI utilization technologies that can secure work efficiency and improve construction quality, leading smart construction management and enhancing the value of the 'The Sharp' brand."
