AI-Assisted Counts

AI-assisted counts are created through paid AI chat action proposals. They can accelerate repeated item detection, but they should be treated as suggestions until a human reviews the markers and totals.

AI-created count markers should be checked, renamed, and corrected like any other takeoff evidence.

Create AI count suggestions

  1. 1

    Confirm AI access

    Use a Pro, Team, Lifetime, or other paid entitlement with available AI credits.

  2. 2

    Choose a clear target

    Ask for a specific item type such as downlights, doors, or floor wastes.

  3. 3

    Limit the context

    Use a page or region that contains the items instead of a whole document when possible.

  4. 4

    Review the proposal

    AI chat prepares count actions for review. Approve the proposal only after checking the suggested detections.

  5. 5

    Audit the group

    Use the Markup List to rename, split, merge, delete, or resume the count group.

Do not skip review

AI can miss items or count false positives. Check every marker before using totals in BoQ rows, quotes, or client-facing documents.
