Agile AI Software: Creating Customer-Centric Solutions

---

In a world where customer needs evolve faster than ever, software must be agile, not just in development cycles but in the intelligence it brings to the table. Agile AI software is transforming how businesses operate. It enables rapid adaptation, intelligent decision-making and deep customisation, all essential for organisations that want to stay ahead of the curve.

The Power of Agile AI Software

Agile development has long been prized for breaking down large builds into manageable, iterative releases. But when artificial intelligence is integrated into this process, the impact is exponential. AI doesn’t just automate, it augments. It learns from user behaviour, predicts pain points and can generate tailored tools in minutes. The result is software that fits your business, rather than forcing your business to fit the software.

Palantir, Leading the Way at Enterprise Scale

Palantir is a leading example of what happens when AI and agility are paired at scale. Through platforms like Foundry, it helps large organisations, from governments to corporates, to build modular, intelligent applications that reflect the way their teams actually operate. Whether it’s modelling logistics, forecasting risk or enabling frontline decision-making, Palantir gives users the ability to adapt systems themselves, without needing to code.

This kind of composability, where modular tools evolve with business needs, is redefining enterprise software expectations.

The Industry Challenges Holding Back Project Planning

Despite huge advances in other areas of tech, project planning remains a problem area in many industries. Construction, infrastructure and engineering projects are especially prone to:

• Misinformation and poor estimation, leading to missed deadlines and budget overruns

• Fragmented data systems, with key information spread across emails, spreadsheets and PDFs

• Manual, error-prone scheduling, wasting hundreds of hours per month on low-value tasks

• Rigid, generic planning tools, that don’t reflect how real teams work

• Low productivity, with construction lagging behind other sectors in digital transformation

These challenges are not just operational—they’re financial. Research shows that only 9% of construction projects are delivered on time and on budget, with 57% of time on site being unproductive .

PlanLab, Bringing Agile AI to Project Planning

This is where PlanLab comes in. Founded by former BCG consultants and AI engineers, PlanLab is tackling these planning failures head-on. Their AI-powered platform provides:

• Bespoke planning tools delivered in days, using AI-augmented development that is up to 10x faster than traditional cycles

• A unified view of planning data, integrating systems like P6, Excel and Revit into one live platform

• In-app AI copilots that help planners visualise, adjust and improve schedules in real time

• Automation of complex tasks, like 4D schedule checks, issue detection and impact forecasting

Rather than offering a one-size-fits-all tool, PlanLab works with each client to build solutions tailored to their specific project, team and workflow .

Real-World Results, The VolkerWessels Case Study

One striking example is PlanLab’s work with VolkerWessels, a leading Dutch infrastructure contractor. Faced with fragmented processes and heavy admin workloads, the company partnered with PlanLab to digitise and streamline planning.

As one planner noted, “This really works. I can just find my work package immediately.”

Why This Matters Now

The ability to build and adapt software in real time—to reflect how teams think, collaborate and deliver—is fast becoming a business necessity. Agile AI platforms aren’t just nice to have, they’re critical infrastructure.

Palantir shows how this works at enterprise scale. But PlanLab proves that lean teams can achieve the same intelligence and agility—without the cost, complexity or compromise.
