Cemex builds first generative AI tool for construction materials industry

MONTERREY, Mexico – Cemex has developed what it claims is the first generative AI tool of its kind for the construction and building materials industry; an advanced knowledge assistant built using Microsoft’s AI system.

The tool is trained with Cemex’s product information and expertise regarding construction regulations, and offers both tailored solutions to a range of product requirements and accurate information on expected behaviours and needs.

The tool was built by Cemex’s Data Science team using Azure OpenAI Service. A part of Cemex’s Digital Forward initiative, the platform is deployed through Microsoft Teams and is accessible from any internet-enabled device.

“Digital transformation is a top priority at Cemex, as we are continually looking for new digital solutions to innovate and drive more efficient, sustainable, and safer construction projects for our customers,” said Fernando A. González, CEO of Cemex. “We strongly believe that Generative AI serves as a key differentiator in our business, giving customers a unique experience and memorable experience that embodies our company’s identity.”
