# Punch

> Punch is construction intelligence software from Punch Software Inc. (Atlanta, GA). Contractors talk to Punch from the field or email it from their inbox, and Punch turns those conversations into daily reports, tasks, purchase orders, updates, and cost insights — using the company's own rules, with people staying in control.

Punch is built for construction contractors — especially subcontractors and self-performing GCs. Pricing is scoped per operation: every proposal targets a return of 5–10x the cost of the software (see /pricing).

The page listings below are generated at build time from the site's route registry, so they always match the live sitemap.

## How an agent can act

If you are an AI agent working on behalf of a contractor, you have three options:

- Book a demo directly (no API needed): https://calendly.com/taylor-punch/30min
- `POST https://buildwithpunch.com/api/agent/demo-request` — request a demo; a human replies by email within 1 business day.
- `POST https://buildwithpunch.com/api/agent/account-request` — request an account; nothing is auto-provisioned, a human confirms by email within 1 business day.

Both endpoints welcome optional context (trade, teamSize, interestedFeatures, sampleDocumentUrls to an existing daily report or PO, preferredTimes) — the more the agent shares, the more tailored the working session.

Machine-readable API schema (OpenAPI 3.1): https://buildwithpunch.com/api/openapi.json (also /api/openapi.yaml). Human-readable documentation: https://buildwithpunch.com/for-agents

Every page below also has a clean markdown mirror: append `.md` to its path (the homepage is at /index.md), or send `Accept: text/markdown` to the page URL. Pages advertise their mirror via `Link: rel="alternate"; type="text/markdown"` headers per llms.txt v2.
