The AI platform, Aurigo Lumina, is designed to enhance the way users retrieve, collate, and make decisions regarding critical capital program data. The Lumina platform launches with two major applications, Lumina GPT and Lumina Analytics.

The natural complexity of large infrastructure and facility projects, coupled with the proliferation of modern cloud and mobile tools geared toward capital owners, has led to an increase in siloed data and the fragmentation of critical files and documents.

Despite the use of project management tools, locating and validating information remains challenging. Additionally, insufficient monitoring often results in inaccurate budget and schedule estimates that cause unexpected overruns.

“Lumina is a game-changer for infrastructure owners, transforming how they leverage data with advanced insights, analytics, and AI-driven searches,” said Balaji Sreenivasan, CEO and founder of Aurigo Software. “This launch of our AI copilot for Aurigo Masterworks is a key step in our mission to enable smarter planning, better building, and a brighter future.”

Lumina GPT utilises generative AI and natural language processing to streamline data and document searches, providing teams with quick access to essential project resources.

Lumina Analytics applies machine learning to analyse patterns in both real-time and historical findings, which the company says improves schedule and budget accuracy for each new project while helping teams proactively address risks and ensure reliable project outcomes.

Aurigo plans to expand the Lumina platform with additional AI-powered products in 2025 and beyond.

Aurigo’s customers include some of the largest infrastructure and facility owners in North America, including federal agencies, departments of transportation, water authorities, and private owners.
