The Munich startup Crafthunt has rebranded as BauGPT. Under the new name, the company aims to unite jobs, recruiting, and AI for the construction industry.
Founders Anna Hocker, Patrick Christ, and Jonas Stamm explain the move:
“From now on, the BauGPT brand unites all previous services under one roof – from intelligent recruiting to AI solutions that boost productivity.”
Crafthunt launched in 2022 with the goal of bringing skilled workers and businesses from construction and trades together digitally. To increase productivity and efficiency in the industry, the team also developed digital tools based on artificial intelligence.
AI with construction expertise
In 2023, the startup launched the first AI assistant specifically for the construction industry. BauGPT understands technical language, knows German building codes, and supports tasks like construction site documentation, quote creation, and recruiting. The platform now has over 70,000 users from construction and trades.
Hocker comments:
“Artificial intelligence that creates real added value is the foundation of our entire product offering. In our recruiting product, we use AI for example for translating applications into more than 20 languages, for automatic image recognition of CVs, and for optimizing the online marketing of open positions.”
Stamm adds:
“For us, AI is an essential tool to achieve productivity gains in an industry that long was considered a digital laggard.”
For skilled workers, the offering remains unchanged: through BauGPT Jobs, they can continue to find suitable positions or get found. For companies, there is BauGPT Recruiting or the enhanced BauGPT Pro solution. The latter is GDPR-compliant, automates workflows, and makes internal knowledge usable efficiently, according to the company. The rebranding is a consistent evolution with the goal of making the construction industry fit for the future. With the new brand identity, Crafthunt alias BauGPT positions itself as a central AI platform for the construction industry.
