FieldBrieff is a voice-first AI assistant for field workers — electricians, plumbers, HVAC techs, and construction crews — who need code-compliant answers on the job without touching a screen. On a worksite, stopping to search isn’t practical. Hands are busy. Gloves are on. Time matters. With FieldBrieff, workers just ask a question by voice and get a cited, authoritative answer in under 8 seconds. Powered by ElevenLabs Conversational AI, it handles the full voice loop — real-time speech-to-text, multi-turn reasoning, and natural voice responses — creating a seamless, hands-free experience. To ensure accuracy, the system uses Firecrawl Search to retrieve live information from trusted sources like NFPA, OSHA, and ASHRAE, ranking results by domain authority instead of SEO, and returning answers with proper citations. FieldBrieff also introduces a Photo Query mode: Point your camera at equipment — a breaker, panel, junction box, or pipe — and Gemini Vision identifies specs like ratings, wire gauges, and model numbers. This context is injected into the voice session, so the AI answers with full situational awareness. What makes it truly powerful: It works over a simple phone call. Workers can dial a number — no app, no login, no internet — and instantly access the same AI assistant via PSTN using Twilio. Even a basic phone becomes a real-time expert. No screens. No interruptions. Just answers.
