Foreman AI Now Has 83 Skills Across 11 Categories
Six weeks ago Foreman AI shipped with 45 skills across 7 categories. Today it ships with 83 skills across 11 categories. That's a +84% jump in capability in 42 days — and the count keeps climbing.
For builders running on Cornerstone PM, the math is simple: every skill is one more job that doesn't need a spreadsheet, a separate tool, or a phone call. Foreman doesn't describe what should happen. It does the work.
What got added since the last milestone
The newest batch of skills lives across 11 categories: Design Center, Parts, Scope Items, Homes, Vendors, Bidding, Sales, Selections, Reports, Utility, and Undo. A few of the standouts:
- Full CRUD on takeoffs.Foreman can now list, create, update, and remove takeoff line items as well as adjust quantities — in plain English, against the same live data your team is editing. Cleanup that used to mean a CSV round-trip now happens in one prompt.
- Vendor scorecards on demand.Ask “who's our most reliable plumbing vendor this year?” Foreman pulls bid response rates, win rates, and on-time metrics from the underlying data — not opinions, not vibes.
- Spec-level profitability and design center revenue analysis. Find out which spec tier and which categories are actually driving margin. Useful before you sign off on next quarter's package mix.
- Sales pipeline analysis.Stalled deals, average days per stage, close rates by agent or by community — in one prompt instead of three reports.
- Options gap analysis.Surface buyers who haven't made their picks in any given category before you hit the cutoff. The kind of thing that quietly causes schedule slip if nobody catches it.
- Undo + action history. When Foreman takes action on your data, you can roll it back. The trust ladder for letting an AI agent touch production data starts with a working Undo button.
That's on top of what was already there: parts catalog management, design center options, full-stack bid comparison and competitive analysis, SOW generation, MLS listing descriptions, punch list generation, image vision (paste any screenshot — product photo, vendor quote, supplier page — and Foreman reads it), anti-bot web scraping for Home Depot / Ferguson / Lowe's pricing, persistent per-user memory, and built-in memory compaction for marathon sessions.
Why “more skills” isn't just a vanity number
Most construction AI tools are chatbots. They retrieve information. They paraphrase your docs. They describe what you should do. Foreman is a construction agent: it reads your real Cornerstone data and writes back to it. Create a PO. Update a design option. Draft a bid request to twelve vendors. Generate an SOW. Compare three quotes side-by-side and flag the cheapest qualified bid.
Every new skill is a new action Foreman can take on your behalf without you opening another tab. The jump from 45 to 83 is the difference between “answers questions about my data” and “runs entire workflows against my data while I'm on a call.”
The compaction advantage (still nobody else has it)
Every other construction AI runs into the same wall: a long session with a few thousand messages either crashes, forgets the early context, or quietly starts hallucinating because it can't hold the conversation anymore. Foreman has built-in memory compaction — it auto-summarizes older messages mid-session so the recent context stays word-for-word intact and you can keep working through a 200-option cleanup or a full catalog import without restarting.
That's not a feature you appreciate the first time you use Foreman. It's the feature you notice the third hour into a marathon session when everyone else's AI is dropping context and yours is still tracking everything you said at the start.
What's next
The skill catalog grows every week. New tools shipping in the queue include deeper sales analytics, additional report generators, and richer vendor workflows. The number on this page will be wrong again soon — in the right direction.
