Pocket Foreman – AI Automotive Diagnostic Assistant
Pocket Foreman puts the knowledge of an expert automotive technician in your pocket. Designed specifically for professional technicians and serious DIYers, this app uses advanced AI to help you diagnose vehicle issues faster, document your work smarter, and get back to what matters — fixing cars.
How It Works
Select a diagnostic category, answer a few targeted questions about the vehicle and symptoms, and Pocket Foreman delivers a precise, technician-level diagnostic report in seconds. No generic advice. No filler. Just ranked likely causes, step-by-step diagnostic procedures, tools and parts needed, difficulty rating, and critical safety warnings — the way a certified foreman would walk you through it.

Key Features
AI-Powered Diagnosis
Input your symptoms and vehicle info — including DTC codes, mileage, and service history — and receive a ranked, actionable diagnostic path built for technicians, not general consumers.
Photo Analyzer
Attach an image directly from your camera or photo library. The AI analyzes visual evidence alongside your written input to give you a more complete picture of what's going on.
Follow-Up Conversations
Got new findings after the initial diagnosis? Use the built-in follow-up thread to share additional observations and get a refined, measurement-driven update to your diagnostic path — without starting over.
Repair Order Notes (The 3 C's)
Once you've identified the fix, Pocket Foreman generates professional Concern, Cause, and Correction notes — formatted for repair orders and kept under 500 characters so they're ready to drop straight into your shop management system.
Diagnostic History
Every session is saved locally on your device. Search, filter by category, review past diagnoses, and share reports — useful for tracking recurring issues or referencing prior work.
Built for Technicians
Pocket Foreman isn't designed for the weekend warrior who needs their oil change reminder — it's built for professionals who speak the language of pass/fail criteria, live data, and repair procedures. The AI is instructed to respond at a technician level: specific tools, expected measurement ranges, and clear diagnostic branches.
Whether you're a flat-rate tech looking to speed up your diagnostic time, a shop foreman walking your team through a tough one, or an independent mechanic who wants a second opinion before committing to a repair — Pocket Foreman has you covered.
Your Data Stays on Your Device
Diagnostic history is stored locally using on-device storage. No account required. No cloud sync. Your customer and vehicle data stays private.
Pocket Foreman is an AI-assisted tool and is intended to support — not replace — the judgment of a qualified automotive technician. Always follow proper safety procedures when performing vehicle diagnostics and repairs.
