AI Generation
AI features in QuickInspect and YachtInspect are powered by Firebase Vertex AI using the Gemini model. The two apps use it in different places:
- QuickInspect -- AI works inside the HSE modules and in the HSE Support assistant.
- YachtInspect -- AI is built into the Report Designer, where it helps with images, findings data and documents.
In both apps the AI drafts and suggests; you decide what to keep.
AI in QuickInspect QuickInspect only
- HSE Support -- an AI assistant on the home screen that answers safety questions and drafts incidents, actions and risk assessments from the conversation. When you need a person, it escalates to a human HSE expert by callback or video call.
- Incident investigation -- the AI investigator drafts the five-why chain from your photos and description, and every AI-generated cause is marked for review. See Incident Reporting.
- Hazard marking on photos -- the AI draws a numbered box around every hazard on a photo and turns the hazards into corrective actions. See AI Hazard Marking.
- Inspection questions -- generate checklist questions for an inspection template, matched to its type. See Inspections & Toolbox Talks.
- Risk assessments -- AI-proposed risks and controls, grounded in your controlled documents. See Risk Assessment.
- Safety data sheets -- extract hazard statements, exposure limits and first-aid measures from an uploaded SDS. See Hazardous Materials.
- Certificates and trainings -- read issue and expiry dates from uploaded certificates for KeyUser approval, and draft a training from a topic or a document. See Training & Competency Management.
- Legal register -- suggest the laws and regulations that apply to your business profile. See Legal Register.
Tip
On a photo attached to an action, an incident or an inspection, AI can mark the hazards in the picture itself and turn them into corrective actions. You can also send a photo straight into the HSE Support chat -- no record needed. See AI Hazard Marking.
AI Chat Panel YachtInspect only
The Report Designer includes a built-in AI Chat Panel for interacting with AI. The chat panel supports:
- Text input: type questions or instructions
- Speech-to-text input: dictate messages using your device microphone
The AI Chat Panel is context-aware -- it has access to the current report's images, findings data, and document content.
AI Capabilities YachtInspect only
Image Analysis
AI analyzes photos attached to the report and can:
- Identify objects, conditions, and details visible in images
- Suggest layout changes and image placements within the report
- Provide descriptions of what is shown in each image
Use image analysis to get AI recommendations on how to arrange and present photos in your report.
Findings Analysis
AI analyzes the findings data (exported as JSON) and can:
- Suggest which table columns to display (e.g., show cost column if cost data is present)
- Recommend table configurations based on the data
- Suggest filters (by status, priority, date, system, or title) to focus the findings table
This is useful when you have a large number of findings and want AI to help you decide how to present them.
PDF Document Analysis
AI can analyze attached PDF documents and provide summaries or answer questions about their content.
Company AI Instructions YachtInspect only
Key Users can configure company-specific AI instructions that provide custom context for all AI interactions in the Report Designer. Open them with the AI Settings button in the AI Chat Panel. This ensures AI responses are tailored to your organization's terminology, standards, and workflows. Users who are not part of a company can set their own instructions there.
Tip
Use company AI instructions to tell the AI about your industry-specific terminology, preferred report formats, or regulatory frameworks your company follows.
Usage Limits
AI usage is metered with a token-based system in both apps. Limits are set per company:
- Per-user daily limit -- resets daily at midnight UTC.
- Per-company monthly limit -- resets monthly.
The app warns you as you approach a limit. When enforcement is enabled and the limit is reached, AI features become unavailable until the limit resets.
To see where you stand:
- QuickInspect QuickInspect only -- Profile › AI usage shows how much of your daily budget you have used (your company can hide this row). KeyUsers see the company-wide AI Usage Dashboard under More › Setup & company › Settings › Company.
- YachtInspect YachtInspect only -- the AI Settings dialog in the Report Designer shows your usage, and KeyUsers see the AI Usage Dashboard under Lists › Edit Company / Team.
Note
If your company needs a higher limit, contact support at support@quickinspect.me.
Language Support
The AI answers in the language you use the app in:
- QuickInspect -- in any of the nine built-in app languages you have selected, even when the question or the attached documents are in another language.
- YachtInspect -- in German or English, following the app's language setting.
