Building real-world construction superintelligence 

It’s time to rethink how we build

Construction efficiency has dropped and the workforce is shrinking rapidly. Trillions in infrastructure are planned, without enough people to do the work.

Gritt AI turns chaotic jobsites into automated production systems. With Gritt, construction is simple, fast, and predictable.

Run by experts in AI, robotics,
and construction

Gritt was founded by AI and robotics experts from Carnegie Mellon's Robotics Institute, Stanford and MIT, and is led by a team that has built inspection drones, self-driving trucks, and autonomous helicopters. We've got 25+ years of operational experience and 7GW of deployed energy infrastructure under our belt, and we've previously worked at Aurora, Google and Tesla.

Gritt Robotics Named a Top U.S. Solar Innovator by the Department of Energy, Chosen from 800+ Startups

Gritt Robotics won Round 7 of the American-Made Solar Prize, a multi-million dollar competition recognizing innovations in U.S. solar hardware and software, accelerating scalable and equitable energy deployment.

 

Seek truth and relentlessly improve

Building construction AI that works in the real world demands two things above everything else: honesty about what's actually happening and the discipline to keep getting better.
That's Gritt.
