Bobcat Company's Jobsite Companion, an AI in-cab assistant, was named the "AI-Based Construction Solution of the Year" at the 2026 AI Breakthrough Awards. 

Now in its ninth year, the AI Breakthrough Awards is one of the longest-running recognition programs dedicated exclusively to the AI industry. The program attracts thousands of nominations annually from companies across more than 20 countries, recognizing standout solutions advancing technology across industries.

Jobsite Companion simplifies complex workflows 

With voice commands, simple attachment optimization, and a built-in job cost dashboard, Jobsite Companion helps operators maintain focus on equipment controls while streamlining machine interaction and reducing complexity, representing a significant evolution in how operators interact with their machines.

"Jobsite Companion was developed to help operators get more out of every job by making machine operation simpler and more intuitive," said Scott Johnson, senior director of construction products at Bobcat. "As job sites become more demanding and skilled labour remains in short supply, solutions like this help reduce complexity, improve efficiency, and support operators in managing their workday."

Jobsite Companion is available as an option in the U.S. on Bobcat Pro compact track loaders and skid-steer loaders with select packages.
