Scan plans, cite building code
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Scan a plan to start a priced estimate. Get answers with code references to verify against your local code. Record a meeting, get a transcript and summary. Free to start.
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.

Ratings & Reviews
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.
