An AI Assistant for Ontario Electrical Safety Code, 29th Edition (2024)
Every answer, grounded in the Code.
Ask about conductor sizing, grounding and bonding, wiring methods or where the receptacles go, in plain language. Each answer is tied to the exact rule, table or diagram it came from, and every one of them opens in full beside the answer.
Every claim names its source. When the Code does not cover a question, Grounded says so.
How a question becomes a grounded answer
Grounded does not answer from memory. Each answer is written from the rules, tables and notes it reads for your question, and every citation is checked before you see it.
-
01 · Ask
Your question, in your words
“How far apart can kitchen counter receptacles be?” You don’t need the rule number. When the Code branches on something you didn’t say (copper or aluminum, one conductor or four), it asks first.
-
02 · Search
The rules that govern it
Your question is matched against every rule, table and diagram, with the definitions and the Scope rules that decide where each one applies.
-
03 · Cite and check
An answer with its sources
Each claim cites its rule, table or figure. Every citation is checked to exist and to have been read; anything that could not be confirmed is flagged for you.
What you get
For electricians, designers, engineers and inspectors: the Code’s answer, and the Code itself, side by side.
Ask in plain language
Describe the installation the way you would to a colleague. Grounded finds the rules that apply, not just the ones that share your words.
See the source, not just the answer
The whole rule opens beside the chat, scrolled to the cited sub-rule. Tables appear as printed, and a defined term opens its definition, down to the terms inside it.
Pick up any thread
Every conversation is saved with the sources it opened, so last month’s question is one click away. Rename, archive or delete from the list.
On site or at the desk
Works on a phone, a tablet or a wide screen, at the text size you need.
An answer, and the Code behind it
A kitchen-receptacle question, answered with the rule it rests on open beside it and the cited item marked.
Stop hunting through the book for the rule you half remember.
Ask, read the rule, and move on. Everyone who asks sees the same citations, so nobody is quoting a section number from memory.
Use it as a guide, not as the authority. Answers are AI-generated and can be wrong. Verify each one against the Code and the requirements of your authority having jurisdiction before relying on it for an installation or an inspection.
