E167: Deepti Yenireddy, Founder and CEO of Boon
About this episode
Deepti Yenireddy discusses her AI company Boon and its impact on preconstruction processes.
Deepti Yenireddy, Founder and CEO of Boon, joins Gareth McGlynn to talk about building AI that can actually read construction drawings. A second-time founder, Deepti exited her first company, HR tech platform My Ally, and led product at IoT leader Samsara before turning her focus to preconstruction. Key Topics Covered: What Boon Does: Helping preconstruction teams bid more, bid better, and bid more accurately, at 10x to 100x speed. The AI Estimator: Deepti announces Boon's first preconstruction AI employee, working the full lifecycle from project invite to final proposal. Hallucination and Human Control: How estimators stay in the loop with a visual review platform and links back to the agent's sources. Accuracy and F1 Scores: Why Boon publishes accuracy scores for every trade and scope, and why below 90 percent creates user friction. Boon vs Generic LLMs: Why ChatGPT and Gemini can read the text in your drawings but cannot tell where a line starts and stops. Implementation and ROI: A one-hour onboarding, and a GC customer who generated 430 extra hours in a year with one person using the agent. And much, much more.
