The notebook
Half a page of shorthand that made sense at 7 a.m. and doesn’t by 4 p.m. “Fix the thing by the stair” — which stair?
Say it on the walk instead of typing it up after.
Hit record, walk the site and say what you see. Snap photos as you go. ProjectAire turns the walk into proposed punch items, tasks, observations and RFIs, each with the words and the photo it came from, ready for you to check and create.

Writing up the walk takes longer than the walk
The camera roll
Forty photos with no labels, mixed in with the kids’ soccer game. Which one was the window? Which room was that?
The evening at the laptop
The walk took twenty minutes. Typing it into punch items, tasks and RFIs takes another hour, after everyone else has gone home.
How it works
Two of the four steps happen while you drive to the next job
- 01
Hit record and walk
Open Walkthrough on your phone and talk through what you see. Snap photos or short video clips as you go; each one is stamped to the moment you took it. No app to install.
- 02
The walk is transcribed and readAutomatic
When you finish, the recording is turned into a timestamped transcript. AI reads it together with your photos, the project team and the items already open, so it doesn’t propose what’s already on the list.
- 03
Review what it found
Each proposed item shows the words it came from, the time in the walk and the photos taken then. Change the type, fix the wording, pick who it’s for, or discard it.
- 04
Create them all in one goAutomatic
One button creates the tasks, punch items, observations and RFIs you kept. They’re numbered, assigned and sent out with the walk’s photos attached, the same as if you’d entered each one by hand.
Check its work
Every item shows where it came from
Click the timestamp and the transcript jumps to that moment, with the photos you took inline. You check the work in seconds instead of trusting it blind.
- The exact words, quoted on the item
- The time in the walk, one click from the transcript
- Photos and video frames from that moment
What a walk turns into
Punch items
Location, priority and the trade or person it’s for, with the photo you took standing in front of it.
Tasks
Follow-ups and to-dos that aren’t punch: “get the inspector back Thursday”, “order the missing hardware”.
RFIs
Questions for the design team, drafted from what you said, waiting for you to send.
Observations
Safety and quality notes worth keeping on the record, even when nobody needs to fix anything today.
Questions we get asked
Does it create anything on its own?
No. Every walk ends at a review page. Nothing becomes a task, punch item, observation or RFI until you look it over and create it.
What if I lose signal halfway through the building?
The recording uploads in small pieces and retries on its own, so a dead spot costs seconds, not the walk. If your phone dies, the walk finishes with everything that arrived.
Can it see my photos?
Yes. Photos and the still frames from short video clips go in with the transcript, and every proposed item points at the photos taken while you were talking about it.
Can I see items while I’m still walking?
Yes. Live mode suggests items as you talk. Keep or dismiss them on the spot; the final pass at the end respects what you kept and dismissed.
Who can use it?
Your team: supers, PMs and engineers on the project. Walkthrough is hidden from clients, and the walk is visible only to people on the project.
Do I need to talk a certain way?
No. Talk like you would to your PM walking beside you. Saying the room and who it’s for helps, but you don’t need a script.
