How AI is used
Ecobot is a cloud-based platform designed for environmental assessments and permitting. It consists of two primary components: Ecobot Collector, a mobile app for iOS and Android used for field data collection, and Ecobot Manager, a web-based interface for project management, quality assurance, and report generation.
The software is used by environmental consultants, AEC firms, government departments of transportation, and conservation organizations. It supports the digitization of site data, photos, and calculations, which may reduce manual data entry required after fieldwork.
Functional support includes workflows for USACE wetland delineations and stream assessments. Buyers should confirm which subscription tier they need, as features like Esri integration and unlimited project history are available in specific plans.
