What it is
GPT-4o is a multimodal AI model from OpenAI, announced in May 2024, that accepts any combination of text, audio, image and video input. OpenAI made it available in ChatGPT and to developers through its API, which lets companies build their own internal assistants on top of it. OpenAI has since released newer models.

Generate site-specific toolbox talks with an internal AI tool
Skanska USA Building
Skanska USA built an internal "Safety Sidekick" on generative AI trained on its own safety data and jobsite conditions. Field staff use it on mobile or desktop to plan toolbox talks and morning huddles, ask safety questions, and ask about photos of the day's site conditions. Early users report less time spent preparing safety briefings and better jobsite engagement. Skanska's advice to smaller contractors: start with data you already have, or use an off-the-shelf tool rather than building your own.
