Use AI to review your material order before placing it to catch quantity errors and missing items.
Before you hit submit on that supply order, paste your material list into ChatGPT and let it check your math and spot what's missing. It's like having a second set of eyes to catch the extra boxes of wire you don't need, or the junction boxes you forgot entirely. This takes 60 seconds and can save you a wasted trip or an awkward call to the supplier when you're already on site.
