XBE Introduces Agent XBE, a Superworkforce for Heavy Materials, Logistics, and Construction
XBE, the system of action purpose-built for heavy materials, logistics, and construction, has officially introduced Agent XBE—a next-generation superworkforce designed to take on operational work from start to finish. Available to XBE customers beginning this month, Agent XBE represents a significant shift in how heavy construction businesses execute, manage, and optimize their daily operations. The company will present its first public demonstration at CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2026.
Agent XBE is not positioned as another software feature, chatbot, or analytics overlay. It is designed to function as a digital worker embedded within the operational backbone of the business. Rather than configuring dashboards or building workflows, customers “hire” Agent XBE. They define the desired outcome, and the agent determines how to achieve it—then executes the necessary actions.
Built on Top of the System of Action
At the core of this innovation is XBE’s integrated system of action. The platform unifies scheduling, dispatch, trucking, materials, and inventory management, pricing, invoicing, compliance tracking, telematics, analytics, and bid forecasting into a single operational environment. Instead of juggling disconnected tools and fragmented data streams, heavy construction companies operate within one coordinated system.
Agent XBE runs directly on top of that foundation. Because it is embedded within the system of action, it understands every function the platform can perform and has access to the operational data within it. This allows Agent XBE to interpret live jobsite activity, trucking logistics, fleet status, materials availability, and financial data in context. It can also connect with external systems operating alongside XBE, expanding its reach across the enterprise.
Unlike traditional software automation, Agent XBE does not require predefined scripts or rigid process mapping. It absorbs complexity dynamically. When a user defines a goal—whether operational, financial, or logistical—the agent determines the sequence of actions required and carries them out within the system.
Sean Devine, Founder and CEO of XBE, describes the concept simply: Agent XBE is the worker that construction teams have always wanted. Users state what they want accomplished. The agent determines the path and executes it. It operates within the same system teams already use daily, delivering immediate value while continuously evolving.
From Insight to Action: Delivering Real Outcomes
The defining characteristic of Agent XBE is its ability to produce tangible operational outcomes. When it acts, changes occur in real time. Dispatches are executed, schedules are updated, truck assignments are adjusted, records are modified, and plans shift in response to conditions on the ground. The system is not simply recommending actions—it is completing them.
Users can direct Agent XBE to execute operational tasks such as redispatching trucks when disruptions arise, updating project records, coordinating schedules across multiple crews, or responding proactively to supply or fleet constraints. Instead of manually coordinating adjustments across departments, teams can rely on the agent to absorb the disruption and restore operational rhythm.
Agent XBE also performs diagnostic work. It cross-references plans against actual performance data, identifies underutilized assets, and highlights discrepancies between projected and real-world results. By synthesizing operational data across dispatch, materials, and fleet systems, it transforms raw information into clear, actionable decisions.
In addition, the agent delivers structured outputs that improve long-term performance. It generates recaps, summaries, and coaching notes that help teams learn from each project. These deliverables turn daily operational data into continuous improvement insights, ensuring that each job informs the next.
The key distinction is that users do not need to pre-build workflows or configure complex dashboards. They simply ask the question that matters to them—operationally or strategically. Agent XBE processes the request, determines the optimal path, and completes the necessary work.
A System That Continuously Improves
Agent XBE is not static software. It is designed to continuously learn, adapt, and improve over time. As new capabilities are developed, they are delivered to customers without additional cost, downtime, or configuration effort. Businesses benefit from ongoing advancements without interrupting operations.
In heavy construction, the most capable employees are often the most limited resource. High-performing dispatchers, planners, and operations leaders carry immense responsibility. Agent XBE is designed to scale that expertise. It acts as a force multiplier, allowing organizations to extend their best operational judgment across more jobs, trucks, materials flows, and projects simultaneously.
Because it operates within live operational systems, Agent XBE becomes more effective as it interacts with real-world scenarios. The more it executes, diagnoses, and delivers, the stronger its operational intelligence becomes.
Early Customer Response Signals Strong Demand
Before its public unveiling, XBE provided select customers with an early preview of Agent XBE. The feedback was immediate and decisive. Leaders across dispatch, materials management, fleet operations, and finance quickly identified high-impact use cases tailored to their organizations.
In one preview session, Agent XBE generated a dispatch lineup plan for 120 trucks in under five minutes. This included determining assignments for each trucker—a process that would typically require hours of manual coordination and communication. The speed and accuracy demonstrated how the agent can dramatically reduce planning time while maintaining operational precision.
Among the early adopters is Gallagher Asphalt. Will Gallagher, President of Gallagher Asphalt, has already begun preparing his team to incorporate Agent XBE into daily operations.
Dispatch, he noted, is one of the most sensitive functions in construction logistics. Small disruptions can have immediate and compounding consequences. When a key team member faced an extended absence, what could have become a scramble instead became manageable. After observing Agent XBE handle real-world scenarios, leadership concluded that with the right prompts and processes, the agent could cover the operational gap effectively.
For Gallagher and others, Agent XBE represents more than automation—it represents operational resilience.
A New Standard for Heavy Construction Operations
As interest builds across the XBE customer base, the conversation is shifting. The question is no longer what Agent XBE can do. Instead, companies are asking how far they can extend its capabilities within their operations.
By combining unified operational data with autonomous execution, Agent XBE introduces a new model for heavy materials, logistics, and construction management. It reduces manual coordination, compresses planning timelines, mitigates disruption risk, and elevates decision-making quality.
With its public debut scheduled at CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2026, Agent XBE signals a broader shift in construction technology—from systems that inform work to systems that perform it.
