Faster on-site diagnostics for chillers, boilers and ventilation
Technicians find the right manual, the right schematic and the right past case in seconds. Voice-first for hands-busy work, multi-language by default.
Three problems specific to this sector
Opaque error codes
E03, F112, A4-warning. Keyword search alone fails; semantic search loses the code. helpcode uses hybrid retrieval with BM25 boost on alphanumeric codes.
Installers on the move
Answers from a phone, on scaffolding, in 8 languages. AI hotline with voice recognition + synthesised reply. End-to-end latency < 1.4s.
Compliance + certifications
CE, ErP, F-Gas, EN 14511. Every answer cites the right regulation. Regulatory updates tracked in an internal changelog.
Typical results — first 90 days
Typical workflow
01 Upload. PDF manuals + tech sheets + service bulletins. Chunking specialised for text + tables + error codes.
02 Tuning. Internal reviewer validates 50-100 typical questions. We tune hybrid retrieval and reranker on the first-run false positives.
03 Deploy. Chat widget on the installer portal + AI green-number for voice. SSO to your CRM, CSV log export.
04 Iterate. Dashboard surfaces unanswered questions. Add a manual → indexed in 4-8 minutes → live.
