Chat

The fastest way to get a source-cited answer out of a manual. Type a question, pick a model if it helps narrow scope, and read the answer with citations linked back to the page they came from.

STEP 01

Ask a question

Type into the prompt at the bottom of the screen and hit Enter (or click the send button). The assistant streams the answer as it generates and shows the manual pages it pulled the answer from. Click any citation to open the source PDF at the exact page.

STEP 02

Narrow the scope with a model

Click Select AC Model in the prompt bar to pick a manufacturer and series. Once a model is selected the assistant scopes its retrieval to that catalog — fewer wrong crossovers, tighter answers. You don't have to pick one upfront: the assistant detects scope from the conversation and will ask you to confirm a model when it's relevant.

STEP 03

Attach a photo or PDF

Hit the + button next to the prompt to attach an image or document. Drop a wiring diagram, a model-plate photo, or a spec sheet and the assistant will read it inline with your question — perfect for "what model is this" or "does this wiring match the manual".

STEP 04

Read the citations

Every answer the assistant gives includes inline citation badges. Each badge is a link to the underlying manual page — the source you'd verify against before pulling the trigger on an install. If the assistant can't ground an answer in the catalog, it will say so explicitly instead of guessing.

STEP 05

Pick up a past conversation

Every chat is saved to your sidebar. Search past conversations to find that obscure spec answer you got last month, or pin a thread so it stays at the top. Conversations stay scoped to whichever model you picked at the start.

STEP 06

Upload your own docs

Open Settings → Knowledge to drop in your internal install guides, distributor price lists, or annotated PDFs. Your uploads live in your workspace and are private to your team — they show up alongside the public catalog when you ask a question.

Tip: when you ask about voltage, refrigerant, or sizing, include the model number or select the series first. The assistant's job is to be specific — the more context you give it, the tighter the answer comes back.
