How AI helps the electrician (without replacing them)

We talk about GorkyCAD philosophy: AI is an assistant, not an engineer replacement. How smart hints save hours of work.

Author: GorkyCAD Team

Philosophy

GorkyCAD doesn't replace the engineer. AI is a tool that takes on routine and gives superpowers.

The engineer makes decisions. AI checks, calculates, searches, explains.

What AI does

1. Checks standards: is cable cross-section adequate, are breakers correctly selected, is selectivity maintained

  • 2. Explains calculations: why this cross-section was chosen, how S/C current was calculated
  • 3. Searches objects: "find all ungrounded outlets in the bedroom" — semantic search
  • 4. Gives recommendations: "use Type A RCD for this group due to washing machine"

    What AI does NOT do

    - Does not make engineering decisions for you

    • Does not sign the project
    • Does not replace expert review
    • Does not require internet — works locally

      Result

      An engineer with AI assistant works 3-5x faster, makes fewer errors, gets explanations for every calculation. Not replacement — amplification.
