Let Procore's RFI Agent draft an RFI, and have a person review it before anything is issued
Procore's RFI Agent can draft RFIs from field input and project records. Issuing without a person still sends wrong specs to the field. This page shows how to draft one RFI and have a named reviewer edit before anything is issued. Digital Coworker plans are quote-only.
Who this is for
Builder project managers or project engineers on Procore with Digital Coworker agents. For Buildertrend AI Client Updates — a different job — see Buildertrend AI client update project manager approve.
How to do it
This is a how-to, not a ranking. Per the Procore AI review, the RFI Agent drafts RFIs ready for review; agents do not take final action without sign-off. Procore AI is sold as Digital Coworker plans without public dollar amounts.
1. Pick one open question
What it is: Choose one field question that truly needs an RFI, not a chat message.
- Confirm drawings and specs were checked first.
- Write the question in plain language.
- Name the reviewer who must issue.
- Avoid bundling five questions into one RFI.
Superintendent asks about beam penetration clearance. One RFI, not a punch list dump.
Write the question and related drawing number before opening the agent.
2. RFI Agent draft
What it is: Let the RFI Agent draft the RFI; keep it unissued.
- Generate the draft from project records.
- Check cited drawings and specs.
- Leave schedule-impact fields for the reviewer.
- Do not distribute yet.
Draft cites the wrong detail sheet. Reviewer catches it before issue.
Highlight every citation the agent used.
3. Named reviewer edits and issues
What it is: A named person edits the draft and issues through your normal Procore workflow.
- Edit question, assignees, and due date.
- Confirm distribution list.
- Issue only after review.
- Track the response like any other RFI.
Project engineer fixes the detail reference, assigns the structural engineer, and issues.
Log: RFI number, agent draft issues, reviewer, issue time.
Pricing context (October 2026)
This how-to isn't a price sheet. Per the Procore AI review, Procore platform and Digital Coworker Starter Pack / Pro / Enterprise plans show no public dollar amounts — request a demo or quote. Dated October 2026.
Checked Oct 16, 2026 on the vendor’s own pricing page: Procore and Digital Coworker plans show no public dollar amounts on Procore’s pricing / AI plans pages; request a demo or quote. Agents draft for human review. This page quotes no Procore dollar figure; confirm what your contract includes with Procore or your admin.
Uncertainty: The only prices this site sells here are the optional $9 AI toolkit spreadsheet and $19 AI toolkit audit.
When this helps (honest take)
Useful when you have Procore AI agents enabled and a named reviewer for every RFI.
Not useful when you need homeowner update drafts on Buildertrend — use that how-to.
