Terms of Service for Velora AI - AI-powered Construction Site Operations
Last updated: 2/3/2026
1. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing and using the AI-powered Construction Site Operations services provided by Velora AI Technologies ("Velora AI," "we," "us," or "our"), including our Free Desktop App and Cloud Pro Service for Builders, General Contractors, and Construction Project Managers, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use our services.
2. Description of Services
Velora AI provides an AI-powered Construction Site Operations platform designed specifically for Construction Site Operations, including:
2.1 Free Desktop App
This application helps you stay on top of your construction projects by organizing WhatsApp group messages into actionable insights—all processed locally on your device by default.
Key Features:
- WhatsApp group monitoring - Automatically monitors your construction site WhatsApp groups
- Automatic extraction - Categorizes messages into targets, progress updates, labor attendance, site issues, and inspection requests
- Structured dashboard - Converts WhatsApp group conversations into an organized site updates dashboard
- Local data storage - All data stored locally on your desktop; your information stays private and secure
2.2 Cloud Pro Service
- All features of the Free Desktop App, plus:
- Structured reports - Export DPR (Daily Progress Reports), DLR (Daily Labor Reports), Variance reports, and more
- WhatsApp bot support - Site teams can report updates via official WhatsApp bot (recommended) or group messages
- AI follow-ups - AI analyzes messages and sends follow-up direct messages to collect missing information
- Automated reminders - Automated outbound reminders before due time to collect site updates
- Target commitments tracking - Capture and track all target commitments with proof & timestamp
- Labor updates support - Automatically capture and track labor attendance and headcounts
- Multi-lingual support - Works in English, Hindi, Telugu, Arabic, and more
- Photo proofs in reports - Unstructured WhatsApp chats converted to structured data with photo proofs
- Dedicated support - Priority customer support
Important: For Cloud Pro Service users, we strongly recommend using the official WhatsApp bot for site team reporting. The WhatsApp bot is an official, supported method that complies with WhatsApp's Terms of Service and eliminates the risks associated with unofficial WhatsApp Web integration. While Cloud Pro Service can also process messages from WhatsApp groups (using the same unofficial method as the Free Desktop App), using the WhatsApp bot is the safer, recommended approach.
3. About Our WhatsApp Connection (Free Desktop App)
The Free Desktop App connects to WhatsApp Web using an unofficial method. Here's what that means:
- Not officially endorsed - This tool isn't made by WhatsApp/Meta
- Read-only monitoring - Never sends messages or types on your behalf
- Smart safeguards - Mimics natural usage, visible windows, built-in limits (max 20 groups)
- Designed for safety - We've implemented extensive protections to minimize risks
Recommended Alternative: For Cloud Pro Service users, we strongly recommend using the official WhatsApp bot instead of WhatsApp Web integration. The WhatsApp bot is an official, supported method that complies with WhatsApp's Terms of Service and eliminates these risks.
While we've built this with safety as a priority and designed it to work reliably, we cannot provide absolute guarantees. Using a dedicated site number (as recommended below) adds an extra layer of protection.
3.1 Recommended Setup for Best Results
For optimal safety and performance:
- Use a dedicated phone number - Get a site-specific SIM card for monitoring rather than using your personal WhatsApp
- Add this number to your construction site groups
- This keeps work and personal communications separate
Additional tips:
- Use an established WhatsApp account (30+ days old works best)
- Interact manually with WhatsApp Web occasionally
- Run only one instance per device
- Keep the app updated for the latest improvements
4. Group Member Consent
By using this application, you confirm that:
- You have authority to monitor these groups for business purposes
- All group members are aware their messages will be processed
- You'll use monitored information only for legitimate construction site management
