Abstract: The invention relates to an application that utilizes artificial intelligence to enhance project management in construction and repair industries. The system includes a user computing device, an application server, and a database server. The application server processes project data, including blueprints, to generate materials lists, integrates with online marketplaces to facilitate purchasing, and employs machine learning for product recommendations. The system also uses predictive analytics to forecast project deliveries and prevent backorders, while optimizing resource allocation through efficient supplier and material selection. The software application features an AI-powered chat, job planner, marketplace, and cart, providing a comprehensive platform for real-time collaboration among contractors, suppliers, and manufacturers. This innovation streamlines project workflows, reduces errors, and improves overall efficiency in managing construction and repair projects.

Abstract: Apparatus for use in the detection of leaks comprising an annular flexible, gas permeable skirt carried by and projecting from a carrier member which closes one axial end of the skirt. The opposite axial end of the skirt is closed in use by engagement with the surface being searched, such that the surface and the carrier member contain between them a sample volume bounded by the skirt. The apparatus further includes a sensing probe communicating with the sample volume for detecting the presence of a signal gas in the sample volume.
