AI Assistant — Overview & Credits

How to use the Doclio AI Assistant — what to ask, how AI Credits work, plan grants, trial bonuses (and their 14-day expiry), top-up packs, drawing revision comparison, Pro mode cost, web search, and accuracy notes.

AI Takeoffs & the Flood Tool — Measured Quantities

How AI takeoffs work in Doclio: the assistant finds regions, the app traces and measures them from the drawing geometry. Worked examples with expected results, honestly graded — what it's great at (areas, counts, volumes with a depth), OK at (whole walls, multi-material), and not good at yet (lengths, depthless volumes, scans) — plus the flood tool, fine-tuning, the draft panel, downloads, and credit costs.

Using the AI Assistant for Takeoffs

How to use the AI assistant for material takeoffs — counting items, measuring lengths, estimating areas. Covers the two ways to ask (by name vs paste-an-exemplar), realistic accuracy expectations, fine-tuning with drag handles and Improve/Try again, and how the takeoff flows into the CSV export.

AI modes — Doclio Assistant, Estimator, Tech

The Doclio AI assistant runs in one of three modes — Assistant, Estimator, Tech — each tuned for a different kind of construction task. Click the mode chip in the chat header to switch.

Vector symbol matcher (MATCH tool)

The MATCH tool finds every instance of a symbol on a vector PDF by matching geometric clusters — click one example and pins land on every match. Zero AI credit cost, exact placement.

Generating ITPs from documents with AI

Point the AI at your specs, drawings, or an existing ITP and it drafts inspection tasks — activity, acceptance criteria, verification, verbatim references, and suggested hold/witness codes — for you to review before saving.

AI on Shared Projects — Access, Sponsorship & Caps

Who can use the AI assistant on a shared project, whose credits it spends, and how project owners sponsor or cap collaborators' AI usage per share role.
