AI is showing up in the trades—quietly, and where it matters most

AI isn't coming. It's already here—on the jobsite, supporting skilled trades and making work safer in real time. A recent article from Jib highlights how tools like Everguard.ai are helping teams prevent risk before it becomes harm.

AI is showing up where it counts

In Jib's recent article, the focus is clear: AI is making real, measurable impact across the trades. Not in labs or future prototypes—but on real jobsites, in the middle of real work.

From smart power tools to risk detection, AI is quietly becoming part of the day-to-day. Everguard.ai was featured as a solution that's helping teams move from reactive to proactive safety by detecting the unsafe behavior and conditions that precede dangerous events.

Helping the trades do what they do best—safely

The article underscores a key truth: AI isn't here to replace humans. It's here to support them. Within the safety industry – these tools that recognize missing PPE, unsafe proximity, and other risk signals in real time, give frontline teams the visibility they need to prevent incidents before they happen.

This is the future of industrial safety—hands-on work, supported by smart systems.
