United Rentals has expanded its AI-powered Equipment Agent to ChatGPT, giving customers another way to access equipment recommendations for construction projects and jobsites.
According to the company, the Equipment Agent uses a conversational interface to help users identify equipment options based on project requirements and jobsite conditions. United Rentals said the application is the first equipment rental tool available in the ChatGPT store.
The Equipment Agent was originally introduced earlier this year as an AI-driven recommendation platform for the equipment rental industry. The tool incorporates fleet information, equipment application knowledge and operational data from across the company’s rental business.
United Rentals said customers are already using the platform for equipment specifications and rental-related questions. The company said the expansion is part of its broader effort to improve digital access to equipment expertise and streamline jobsite planning and decision-making.
