Webinar: AI-Generated Schedules: A First Look at Automated Baseline Development

August 4, 2026

12:00 PM EDT (US)

Presenter: Jonas Ebrahimi, CEO, Karmen

Developing a baseline CPM schedule is one of the most time-intensive tasks in project controls, often requiring days to convert project scope, drawings, and specifications into a fully logic-linked schedule. In this AACE webinar, discover how AI can analyze project documents and generate a defensible baseline schedule in a fraction of the time.

Jonas Ebrahimi will explain how generative scheduling works, how to ensure AI-generated schedules remain transparent and audit-ready, and where human expertise is still essential. Participants will leave with practical guidance for evaluating and implementing AI-powered scheduling tools on their own projects.

The webinar is free to attend, but registration is required. This webinar is generously sponsored by Karmen.

Using Omega 365, she will also provide a demo of project scenarios of using human element and AI together to tackle project tasks and meet objectives in less time. In the end, Angela will provide her personal testimony of her initial skepticism of the use of AI and how she now uses it to enhance daily project tasks.
