Ask Donnie is your AI construction estimator, building-code expert, and project back office. • Ask anything — codes, materials, methods — and get clear answers with real code citations, scoped to your jurisdiction. • Drop a plan — scan blueprints with the camera, pick a photo, or import a PDF — and Donnie reads the scope and returns a full, priced estimate. • Record meetings — lay your iPad on the table; get a full transcript with speaker labels and an AI summary (decisions + action items), filed to the right project. • Run the job — RFIs, change orders, submittals, daily logs, punch lists, CPM schedule, cost control, closeout, and project dashboards. Level competing bids in seconds. • Estimates, invoices, and projects — create, track (draft to sent to paid), and share professional PDF/Excel documents. • White-label branding — put your company name, colors, and logo on every deliverable. • Built for the trades — tune Donnie to your trade, units, tone, and preferred brands/suppliers. Membership unlocks watermark-free white-label documents, higher limits, and a monthly wallet allowance. A prepaid wallet covers AI usage; top up anytime. Free to start. Donnie is AI assistance to verify — always confirm critical details with your local building department (AHJ) and a licensed professional before you build.

A new look, and more ways in. • The new Ask Donnie nameplate icon, with one gold-and-navy design throughout. • Continue with Google on the sign-in screen. • Sign out everywhere (Account tab): end your sessions on every phone, tablet and browser. • Unsynced field notes? Donnie asks before you sign out, so nothing captured on site is lost. • Clear, branded screens when you run out of credit, hit the daily limit, or billing is briefly unavailable, with one tap to get more. • Friendlier errors when you're offline or the connection drops. • Before your words go to a third-party AI service, Donnie asks for your consent first. • Client-facing documents never show your cost basis. • Project numbers load reliably, plus many smaller fixes.
