Stay in TradesKnow
People already open a general model on the job. The problem is it doesn’t know this house, this panel, this code year — and tomorrow it still won’t.
- Trades model first. Verified expertise. Job-shaped answers. Credit in the record for the people who taught it.
- A larger model when we need it. If we don’t have it yet, we still answer. We do not send you somewhere else.
- Your context makes the next answer ours. What you add from the site — the plate, the symptom, the code year — is how the trades model catches up. Everyday job files stay out of training. Verified experts still hold the training door.
What it does on a job
- Don’t guess the part. Photo or description of a nameless faucet, data plate, or breaker. Get the ID, the spec, and what it takes to swap it.
- Don’t roll the truck twice. Cartridge, capacitor, or breaker figured out before you leave for the supply house.
- Don’t call the shop at 9pm. The apprentice asks the tool instead of the owner. Steps, the measurement that confirms it, and when to stop.
- Don’t fail the inspection. A code reference you can show the inspector, with a straight word that your jurisdiction’s edition may differ.
- Don’t lose what the lead tech knows. About a minute after the job to write down what it really was, so the next person on the crew doesn’t guess.
Who it’s for
- On the tools Journeyman, apprentice, one-truck. Look it up, confirm it, go back to work.
- You run the shop Fewer callbacks. Knowledge that stays when a lead tech leaves. A small shop that can compete with a big one.
- You own the house or manage the building Can I do this, or do I need a licensed pro? Honest about danger. You inform the tool. You don’t teach it.
Who taught it
Tradespeople who have done the work. Licensed, verified, and credited by name in the record when their knowledge is accepted. Not scraped off a forum. Not written by someone who has never held the tool.
That credit is a record, not a check. Nobody is promising a payout. Monetization is deferred and we say so out loud.
Your jobs, your customers, your estimates stay yours. Member data never trains the model. How we keep it honest
Straight talk
- Not a marketplace, lead-gen service, or field-service platform. Not an FSM. Keep the software you have.
- Not a licence. It can help you pass the test. It does not issue the card.
- Not a replacement for a licensed human on gas, live panels, structure, or confined space.
- Look-it-up drafts from a larger model are unverified. The job tool for shops is still invite-only.
Why we’re building it
To help tradespeople succeed today and have a real part in the AI their expertise helps create. Better tools for the shop. A model taught by the Trades. A say in where it goes. A next generation that learns the craft and the business. The four goals
