Pelles.ai Selected for Google for Startups Gemini Startup Forum, Bringing Construction AI Innovation to the Global Stage

TEL AVIV, Israel, October 13, 2026 – Pelles.ai, the AI infrastructure platform empowering trade contractors to build their own AI-powered operating systems, today announced its selection for the Google for Startups Gemini Startup Forum, an exclusive initiative bringing together some of the world’s most promising AI startups.

Selected from thousands of applicants worldwide, Pelles joins a cohort of over 100 startups representing 17 countries. As one of only two construction technology companies selected, Pelles stands out for bringing advanced AI innovation to an industry historically underserved by technology.

The Gemini Startup Forum will bring together founders and experts from Google DeepMind and Google Cloud to tackle complex technical challenges, explore emerging AI capabilities, and accelerate the development of next-generation AI solutions. The initiative offers participating startups an opportunity to collaborate with some of the world’s leading AI researchers and engineers. The two-day, in-person Forum takes place at Google’s headquarters in Mountain View, California, in November.

Building Deep AI Infrastructure for the Trades

While much of the construction industry’s AI adoption has focused on individual productivity tools, Pelles is taking a fundamentally different approach: building the underlying AI infrastructure that allows contractors to transform their own knowledge, data, and workflows into intelligent software.

The Pelles platform combines multi-agent orchestration, construction-specific knowledge graphs, advanced document and visual understanding, state-of-the-art data retrieval, and self-improving mechanisms to power customized AI agents, applications, and automated workflows.

From estimating and bid reviews to project management, procurement, finance, and beyond, contractors can encode their unique processes and expertise into software that works the way their businesses actually operate.

“Being selected for the Gemini Startup Forum is a meaningful recognition of the depth and sophistication of the technology our team is building. Construction is an incredibly complex industry, with enormous potential for AI to transform how businesses operate. We’re building technology that can match that complexity, and we’re excited to collaborate with some of the world’s leading AI experts as we continue pushing the boundaries of what’s possible.”

Advancing the Next Generation of Construction AI

As part of the Gemini Startup Forum, Pelles will have the opportunity to collaborate with Google DeepMind and Google Cloud experts on its AI roadmap, explore emerging technologies, and gain technical insights to support its continued development.

The selection reflects Pelles’ broader vision for the future of AI in construction. As AI models become increasingly capable of understanding complex processes, workflows, and even the physical work happening on jobsites, Pelles is building toward a future where every trade contractor has its own continuously improving AI, one that learns from its unique knowledge, processes, and ways of working, becoming more capable and valuable over time.

“With self-improving AI agents, every workflow becomes an opportunity to learn, and every correction makes the system smarter. We’re building toward a future where every contractor has its own organizational AI brain, continuously learning from its people, processes, and decisions. Collaborating with Google DeepMind and Google Cloud is an exciting opportunity to push the technical boundaries of that vision.”
