Real-World Example

A Field Technician is assigned a work order for a recurring HVAC fault on-site. Before starting work, the technician needs to understand the asset's history.

  1. Open the work order on the mobile app
  2. Tap the AI button in the page header
  3. Enter: "What are the previous faults recorded for this asset?"
  4. Technician Co-Pilot returns a summary of past issues and repair notes from the record
  5. The technician uses this context to diagnose the fault and complete the work
  6. After completing the job, the technician enters: "Update the resolution notes to say the compressor belt was replaced and unit tested successfully"
  7. Co-Pilot proposes the update — the technician taps Approve

Outcome: The technician completes the job with full context and logs the resolution without manual typing.


Limitations & Considerations

Contextual ScopeTechnician Co-Pilot is scoped to the currently open record — it cannot access data from other records.
Approval RequiredAll proposed changes require explicit approval before anything is saved — no changes occur automatically.
Voice InputVoice input stops automatically after silence — for longer queries, speak continuously or type instead.
Empty Query ResultsIf a query returns no results, check that the relevant fields in the record are populated.
