Manny: AI That Thinks Like a Scheduler

Manny is an AI assistant that lives inside Planera. It understands your CPM schedule the way a senior scheduler does, but it works at the speed of a search engine.

Frequently Asked Questions

To help you make an informed decision, we've compiled some of the most commonly asked questions.

How is Manny different from other AI tools in construction?

Most AI tools in construction sit on top of your data and tell you what happened, all while adding steps to your process, and losing context along the way. Manny lives inside the platform where you actually build and manage your schedule, so there's no disconnect or switching back and forth between your AI and your schedule.

Does Manny understand CPM scheduling?

Yes, natively. Manny reads logic ties, calculates float, and understands how activities relate to each other, so the answers it gives you are grounded in how your schedule actually works.

Can I act on what Manny tells me, or just view it?

Manny can act on your behalf, but only with your permission. You can go from a question to a schedule update without leaving the platform.

Will Manny make changes to my schedule?

Only with your permission.
