In the creative rush to test-build capabilities of AI-powered applications, a demo called for the design of an app built using GPT-4 to support utility workers identify and repair downed power lines. The UI was built around a map with pinned coordinates of downed power lines and a messaging interface to communicate with the assistant. Trained on field service information, repair documents and images of utility poles, the worker would be able to attach images for analysis and instruct the assistant to produce work orders and BOMs. This demo was ultimately showcased to leadership at multiple energy companies, resulting in work to build proprietary versions of the concept.
