Frequently asked

Direct answers, no hedging.

Is this a real AV design or a mockup?+

Treat it as a prototype. It's a place to experiment, iterate on a draft, and work through a room quickly — real SKUs, real compatibility checks, real cable routing — but it's a starting point for your process, not a stamped deliverable.

Do you check against AVIXA standards?+

Yes — DISCAS (display sizing), A102 (audio coverage), STIPA (intelligibility), ADA §219 assistive-listening, and NEC power checks run automatically. That said, this is AI-assisted: it can still hallucinate or miss edge cases, so a human needs to validate the output before it leaves your desk.

What AI providers do you use?+

AVbuilder is AI-agnostic. We use the best model available for each task, benchmarked weekly against our internal gold-standard designs. Current stack includes Anthropic Claude, OpenAI GPT, Google Gemini, and xAI Grok. Model selection is invisible to you — you just get the best output.

Can a licensed integrator trust the output?+

As a starting point, yes — you'll see where the design came from and which rules validated it. It's not a substitute for a licensed integrator signing off on commercial work. Treat it as an accelerated first draft.

Does it know about my specific building / codes?+

No — AVbuilder doesn't have jurisdictional knowledge of specific building codes beyond NEC. Local inspection and permitting is your responsibility.

How current is the equipment catalog?+

Weekly refresh from manufacturer feeds. If a model's missing, flag it from the BOM and we add it within a business day.
