AI briefings, end-of-day wrap & Ask Gaffer

What the agent is (and isn't)

Gaffer's agent is not a chatbot. It runs on a loop against your real data — clock-ins, RAMS, jobs, messages, certs — and writes short summaries of what needs your attention. It's closer to an analyst who watches every site than a generic AI assistant.

Three surfaces:

Morning briefing — top of the dashboard, first thing.
End-of-day wrap — around 17:55, what happened today and what's open for tomorrow.
Ask Gaffer — the chat in AI Workspace or the Ask AI buttons on Jobs, Workers, and Compliance pages.

The morning briefing

At the top of the dashboard, the briefing leads with a headline and a short paragraph of context. Under it, the Today at a glance panel shows Risk, On site, and Certs.

If it feels generic, the agent doesn't have enough data. Once you have a week of clock-ins, signed RAMS, and a few jobs in flight, the briefing gets opinionated and specific.

The end-of-day wrap

Late afternoon the agent writes a wrap: what got done, what didn't, who's flagged, what carries over. It drops into the notifications panel and into the activity feed. This is the version you want your PM to read first thing the next morning.

Asking Gaffer good questions

Open AI Workspace from the sidebar, or click Ask AI on Jobs, Workers, or Compliance pages. Questions Gaffer handles well:

Which workers haven't signed the Riverside Block C RAMS?
What jobs are at risk this week?
Who's worked the most overtime this month?
Which certs expire in the next 30 days?
Summarise today's near-miss reports.

Questions Gaffer won't try to answer:

Anything it can't ground in your data (e.g. should I fire this worker?).
Anything outside your company (no weather, news, or general construction law).

The agent only sees your data. Nothing is shared between companies. For our full privacy position see Privacy.

Getting more out of it

Keep jobs tidy. Archive completed jobs. Set margins on active ones. The agent uses status to weight what matters.
Upload RAMS centrally. The agent can only chase signatures on RAMS it knows about.
Keep worker data current. If a worker's trade, rate, or CSCS status is wrong, the wrap will get it wrong too.
