Quick Answer: Review turns the PDF into a dynamic schedule and highlights tasks in your specific scope of work , while Compare analyzes the differences between two schedules.

How It Works:

• Step 1 - Review: When you upload a massive PDF schedule, GanttAI doesn't just read the text, it understands the structure, and extract info into a dynamic scheduling environment. It preserves the complex hierarchy of the schedule and automatically scanning through thousands of lines to find and highlight the tasks specific to your trade's scope.

• Step 2 - Compare: When a GC issues an update, you run a comparison. GanttAI analyzes the new schedule against the old one to instantly highlight every shifted date, reduced duration, or altered resource allocation affecting your work, giving you data in an easy to read report. 

Quick Answer: You upload flat PDF schedules directly into GanttAI. For Reviews, you can export to PDF or Excel these will have scope highlighted. For Comparisons, you can share an interactive web link using our share button or download an Excel analysis.

How It Works: We know subs rely on PDF printouts from GCs, so GanttAI reads PDFs natively, no expensive scheduling software required.

• Review Exports: Once your scope is identified, you can export to a PDF that clearly highlights your specific tasks, or download an Excel file containing all the extracted schedule data.

• Compare Exports: After comparing schedules, GanttAI generates a public-facing, shareable web link. You can send this link to anyone (your field superintendents, suppliers, or the GC) so they can interactively view the impacts without needing a GanttAI account. You also get an Excel download of the complete analysis for deeper dives into the data.

Quick Answer: GanttAI can easily ingest and analyze massive commercial schedules up to 500 pages long.

How It Works: On large-scale commercial or industrial projects, master schedules are incredibly dense, often containing thousands of individual line items.

• Zero Lag or Data Loss: While standard PDF readers or spreadsheets freeze up when handling files of this magnitude, GanttAI’s infrastructure is built specifically for heavy construction data.

• Complete Scope Coverage: It scans every single page and line item from page 1 to page 500, guaranteeing that an activity buried deep in a massive PDF printout is extracted and analyzed.

Quick Answer: It automatically identifies changes in activities, durations, dates, and resources.

How It Works: GCs frequently issue schedule updates without a detailed narrative report explaining what they changed. GanttAI acts as an automated detective, flagging:

• Activities: Instantly highlights new tasks that were added, old tasks that were deleted, or line items that were renamed.

• Durations: Flags tasks that have been reduced (giving your field crews less time) or extended.

• Dates: Catches slipped start dates, delayed finish dates, or shifted milestones.

• Resources: Pinpoints changes in resource loading or labor allocations.

Quick Answer: Yes. You can man-load your baseline schedule directly into GanttAI, and it will automatically flag any changes to your resource requirements when you run a comparison.

How It Works: When a GC issues a schedule update, it often forces trades to compress their work or stack crews. GanttAI identifies exactly how your labor is impacted by flagging shifted resource start dates, highlighting changes in peak manpower requirements for any given day or month, and warning you of resource stacking, giving you the data you need to avoid sudden labor bottlenecks on site.

Quick Answer: GanttAI is strictly pay-per-use. You simply buy credits and use them whenever you need to Review or Compare a schedule, no subscriptions and no long-term commitments.

How It Works: We know construction volume fluctuates, so we don't force you into massive annual contracts or charge you punitive monthly fees when you aren't using the app. You start with complimentary free credits to test the platform. After that, you simply buy credit packs as you need them. Every schedule review or comparison uses credits, meaning you only pay for the exact value you get. You can view all the transparent pricing details right in the credit management section of the app.
