Ask BONBON (formerly Ask NET

About this app

<p>Ask BONBON (formerly Ask NETA) is the AI assistant built for electricians. Get instant National Electrical Code (NEC) answers, blueprint analysis, inspection reports on your work photos, and a full set of electrical calculators, right on the jobsite.</p>
<p>Whether you are an apprentice, journeyman, master electrician, inspector, contractor, or solar installer, Ask BONBON turns code questions into clear answers in seconds.</p>
<p>NEW: UPLOADS, FROM BLUEPRINT TO PLAN OVERVIEW<br />
Included with BONBON Plus. Upload electrical blueprints as PDFs or photos and ask questions about your own plans. BONBON reads the plan set and builds a Plan Overview of the whole job:<br />
- Square footage and suggested main panel size<br />
- NEC 220 load calculation summary<br />
- Suggested subpanels and circuit counts<br />
- Counts of recessed lights, receptacles, smoke and combo detectors, sconces, and LED strips<br />
- A rough materials list to kick off your estimate<br />
Every number is labeled as counted from the plans or estimated, so you always know what to verify. Save the overview as a PDF, print it, or share it with your crew with a link.</p>
<p>NEW: INSPECTION REPORTS FROM YOUR PHOTOS<br />
Also included with BONBON Plus. Upload photos of your rough-in or finished work and get an Inspection Report: an approval rating and findings checked against the NEC, so you can fix issues before the inspector shows up. Or just ask a question about the photo.</p>
<p>INSTANT NEC ANSWERS<br />
Stop flipping through the code book. Ask any electrical question, like "What are the grounding requirements for a detached garage subpanel?" and get the exact NEC reference with a plain language explanation.</p>
<p>SMART TROUBLESHOOTING<br />
Describe the problem and BONBON helps you diagnose issues, identify components, and find code-compliant fixes faster. With Plus, add a photo of the install.</p>
<p>ELECTRICAL CALCULATORS<br />
Conduit fill, voltage drop, box fill, wire sizing, load calculations, conduit bending, motor circuits, grounding and bonding, solar, and more.</p>
<p>PASS INSPECTIONS THE FIRST TIME<br />
Verify your work against the code before the inspector shows up. Fewer callbacks, fewer red tags.</p>
<p>LEARN ON THE JOB<br />
BONBON does not just give you the answer, it explains the why behind the code, so every question makes you a better electrician.</p>
<p>MULTILINGUAL SUPPORT<br />
Ask in Spanish, French, or another language and BONBON answers in that language, so the whole crew stays on the same page.</p>
