Two different things. Dictation types what you say into a field. The conversational agent interviews you — it asks follow-up questions until the RFI is actually answerable.

​
Dictation vs. the agent

Dictation

You talk, it types. Good when you know exactly what you want to say and your hands are dirty.

Conversational agent

You describe the problem, it asks: which sheet? what location? what did you expect to find?Good when you know there’s a problem but haven’t worked out how to ask it.

Use it on site

1

Open a new RFI and start talking

Describe what you’re looking at, in whichever language you work in.
2

Answer its questions

It’ll push for specifics — the sheet number, the location, what the conflict is. That’s the point. The questions it asks are the ones the architect would have asked next week.
3

Read the draft before you send it

Every word of it. You’re the one signing it.
4

Attach the marked-up sheet

→ Marking up a sheet
Always read it before it goes out. The agent writes a clean RFI from what you said — but it can only work with what you told it. If you misspoke the sheet number, it will write the wrong sheet number very professionally.
It works in Spanish too, end to end — you talk in Spanish, and the RFI can go out in English. → Working in Spanish
